[justify]Connor Barnard entered the Charms classroom before any of the students had arrived. Today was the first class the first years would ever have in Charms. She found that prospect to be exciting, as they must be excited maybe a bit nervous as well. Sitting down at her desk she looked over a few pieces of parchment which highlighted a few points she wanted to discuss with the class that day. They weren't going to be learning any charms today, however it was going to be an introduction and she'd give them their first homework assignment. Soon students were going to be coming into the class and she sat back in her chair and waited, flicking her wand so the door flung open so they knew they could enter the classroom. Soon enough the first years entered the class and she took a roll call to see who was there and who wasn't. Standing up Connor looked around the room at the first years, her dark robes rustling around her. To her the students almost blended in with the wooden desks and chairs, but she could still see them, the light coming in from the windows help. They wouldn't know about her colorblindness, she did not plan on sharing it with anyone here. "Good Day, my name is Professor Connor Barnard, I do expect you to address me as Professor Barnard. I will be your Professor for Charms till your fourth year. Afterwards I will be pass you onto Professor Haden for your OWLs year and hopefully you'll be able to continue onto the NEWT level," Connor said to her students. It wasn't to intimidating being in front of new students for her, but she was sure she might be a little intimidating for them. "I was schooled at Durmstrang Academy and I graduated a few years ago. Since then I've taken part in many dueling championships and have taken home many top prizes do to my very good use of charms." Pausing for a moment she looked around, pride was visible on her face but only just. "Now, that's all for my introduction, I would like each of you to tell me your name and something about yourself, maybe what you look forward most to being a wizard or a witch. You can start," she said gesturing to a student in the front of the room. It took some longer than others to introduced themselves and share a tidbit of information, but she was glad to those who participated. It was time for her to introduce them to the rules which will be a staple of her classroom throughout their time being taught by her. "Thank you. Now for some classroom rules. These I expect you to remember for the years to come as they will be my rules as long as I am your teacher. You may take notes if you wish, I will put them on the board," Connor said as she turned to the board and waved her wand. She decided to show off the charm they would be learning in the next lesson for this. "Wingardium Leviosa. Rule One: Listen to what I say at all times. Your safety is number one to me and I don't want anyone to get hurt. Rule Two: Respect anyone who has been granted to permission to speak. Rule Three: Don't be afraid to ask questions. Rule Four: Bring your wand to every class, but only have it out when I give your permission. Rule Five: Have all materials needed, textbook, ink and quill, parchment. And finally Rule six: Complete the Homework which I assign you." [/justify]
[justify]"Please walk into the classroom with a positive attitude. Some of your peers need to be in a good and positive environment in order for them to do well." She felt the class was getting fidgety. Looking at the clock she noted in her head that her time was running low but she was still going to be letting them go early this week. Connor hoped they enjoyed the extra few minutes as it was the last time they'd receive it this year. "Well, class is just about over, so I will dismiss you early. As homework I want you to do some research on the charm for next week, Wingardium Leviosa. Come in prepared and knowing what the charm does. You are dismissed." Connor sent the class off with homework. Though she knew it wasn't going to be very much as she didn't ask them to write it down or write an essay on it. She didn't feel the need for them to waste parchment so early yet, it would just clutter the desk in her office with no use anyways. Roleplay the lesson. [/justify] |

Paige was totally excited to have her first Charms lesson, she had already read the whole book and even practised some of the spells. Paige knew that this was a new Professor and she hoped she could actually teach this subject. Paige was looking for her friend Andrea and when she found her she decided that the two of them could walk to the Charms Classroom, sitting right next to each other. Paige was set to take Charms as a OWL and if her grade was still high she would go for her NEWT level. The introduction from this Professor was really long and boring, but this could not the smile on Paige her face she was totally excited for this lesson and a boring Professor would not ruin it for her. Paige knew that Professor Haden was super handsome and that was secretly a reason why Paige wanted to be a NEWT student. Paige had to introduce herself and to be honestly though, she did not want to introduce herself to a bunch of Ravenclaws, but clearly she had no other choice a fake name would not be tolerated by her Head of House. When the Professor pointed at her for her introduction Paige spoke as quickly as she could. ''I am Paige Rivers, First Year Slytherin and I am currently 12 years old.'' Paige muttered as fast as she could. ''I am looking forward to the Charms lessons.'' Paige thought there was no more information needed and she did not want to share more, the Ravenclaws there did not even deserve her name they clearly did not deserve what she wanted to be in the future. Next Lesson they would get some action and finally get some wand waving to do. Paige had already her wand tucked into her left sleeve and she looked at Andrea for some support, the rules were plain simple and she was missing Defence against the Dark arts more and more. Paige wrote the rules in her own beautiful handwriting, she just wanted to do something and writing the rules seemed like a simple task to do. Paige was getting agitated by doing nothing and hoped that the next lesson would be more interesting than this one. Paige already knew that the spell Wingardium Leviosa was a levitating spell, the hand movement was swish and flick and that you had to say the spell clearly otherwise it would have a different effect. The spell was mostly used for levitating small to medium objects. Paige knew she could preform the spell, she had done it some times in the first semester the spell was easy to master and she knew that she would not have any problems to do it into the class. When the Professor dismissed the students, Paige took her bag and swung it over her shoulder. Paige wanted to try out Wingardium Leviosa again so she knew she could do it in the next lesson to come. Paige and Andrea both walked away going farther into the beautiful Hogwarts Castle. |

Andrea had found Paige a few minutes before Charms was supposed to start and they'd decided to walk down to the classroom together, discussing what they'd be studying in the class. She knew her friend was eager for Charms, it was one of the classes she'd said she'd been really looking forward to. As for herself, Andrea was excited...but Transfiguration was the class she was waiting on. Paige may say it had too many rules and regulations, but to Andrea, it was exciting enough. They reached the classroom and Paige said they should sit together so they got seats near the front as the professor began to speak. Andrea listened, partially attentive, as the woman spoke, wondering secretly if they would be learning any actual spells today or if it would just be an introduction lesson like many of the other ones. When she said that they should go around and say their names and something they look forward to; that made Andrea frown slightly. It was finally her turn after Paige: "Um...I'm Andrea Focoso, also a First year Slytherin. I'm 11 years old and I'm looking forward to...playing on the Quidditch team next year...if I get on. And Transfiguration." She fell silent and lifted her shoulders as the next student began to speak; she'd never been good about speaking out in class. She copied Paige and jotted down the rules the professor had stated down in her notebook, pressing her lips together and sighing lightly; no spells today. The research she assigned was, for Andrea (and probably her friend Paige too) unnecessary as research had been all she'd been doing for her life. It wasn't as if she had parents to take her out and do stuff with her. No use in living in the past though and so, with Paige, Andrea packed up her stuff and headed out of the room when the professor was finished. She normally would head to the library, but she followed Paige instead and they wandered around the castle together. |

Kate had stuffed her Charms book in her bag and was walking to the Charms Classroom, she hoped that the lessons were exciting. Kate sat herself down on the front row and listened to the Professor. The introduction was simple and Kate listened to all what the Professor had said about Charms. When the Professor pointed at her to Introduce herself she introduced herself. ''I am Kate Kingswood, First Year Ravenclaw, 11 Years old.. And I want to be Healer when I am old.'' The introduction wa short and Kate knew that was enough information for now. The rules were simple and were not even required her to write them down, she remembered them and Kate found that enough for now. Kate already knew the spell Wingardium Leviosa and decided that she only needed some more time to write the spell down on a piece of parchment and study the spell in their Charms book. When the Professor said she could go Kate walked out of the classroom waiting for another Ravenclaw to show up and left with that person. Walking back to the Ravenclaw common room with ease. |
