Professor Connor Barnard was beginning to wonder if the third years were becoming bored of the class or not. She wished she could use the last charm they learned on her students before the class began to make them all chipper and hopefully wanting to learn the lesson. Today she made her way from her office to the classroom with her hands full. An older student offered to help her and she was glad of the help. She had plenty of objects for the lesson. She knew it might not be the most interesting lesson for her students but she did hope they would enjoy the objects she had brought, little figurines of famous magical people throughout the history of magic. She placed one on each of the desks of her student.

Heading to the front of the class room she leaned on the front of her desk. Waving her wand Connor let the door open so her students could enter the room. She let them settle, sure that some of the whispers were about the people on their desks. "Good day students. Today we will not be experimenting with the cheering charm again. It'll be a very different topic, the topic of making things bigger!" She said before gesturing towards the one figurine on her desk.

"Today we will be studying and performing the Engorgement Charm, Engorgio. Which if you cannot guess means whatever it is cast upon will enlarge. Do not attempt to use this spell on your classmates. We will be using this charm on the figurines in front of you." Connor said as she moved behind her desk so she'd be able to see her demonstrate the charm. Clearing her throat she brought out her wand. "Now then. You'll simply look at the item hold your wand steady, and say engorgio." Looking at the item she performed the charm and watched as an icy blue circle appeared from her wand and encircled the figurine. It grew to twice the size it had been. Nodding she looked back up at her class. "Now you're turn. However if you try too many times on any item, it will eventually explode. There is only so much which magic can compete with the laws of nature," Connor said with a smirk on her face.

Letting the students go to try the charm for their own she watched them carefully. She hoped none would explode their figurines, at least having some respect for great witches and wizards. Time was beginning to run sort after awhile and she clapped her hands to get the students attentions. "Great job today. Now since you had homework last time I'll let you go this time, but prepare yourself for the next charm. You have the list please read up on the charm," Connor said dismissing the class.

Monochromat | Class of 2038 | Former Head Boy | Healer: Magical Bugs

[justify]Having always enjoyed learning charms, the young teen had spent a bit of time the night before the class revising what he had to for the class. Which wasn't too hard, just looking over the spells they had learned in the previous classes, and then the previous years of charms. All classes that he had enjoyed. It was just soething about charms, that the teen found endlessly interesting. It was easy to enjoy them. On the morning of the third charms lesson, the teen woke up slowly, and in long stages. The first just being opening his eyes, and a blurry world unable to get into focus, then he realised his head was pounding. It felt like it was on fire, hammering away in his skull. Then his sight came into focus, and he covered his eyes from the bright light. He had believed that he was getting better but, it was taking longer than he had thought. His head was pounding. Pushing himself out of bed, with half closed eyes, he took a long shower. Spending most of the time, just letting the water wash over him, with him stood motionless underneath. Eventually, when the boy realised he was getting nowhere like that, he pulled himself away from the shower and got ready for the class. The night before he'd had a small headache, but it had appeared to be going away. He realised he had very clearly been wrong. It had gotten worse. With a small sigh, the boy gathered the last of his things, and when ready, left.

Charms was pretty far from his dorm. But, still he was one of the first to arrive at the room. Which made him smile. He took his usual seat at the back of the room. Taking out his books and placing them on the table. He sighed to himself, folding his arms over the books and then leaning his head on them. Until the point when the professor spoke. Which caused him to become very aware of everyone else in the room. He looked around, and gave a small smile, before turning his attention to the professor. Making small notes about the spell they would learning. And hopefully gettting a shot at practicing. Which turned out to be true. He looked to the little figurine on the table, turned it in his hands, and then placed it back on the table. Getting his wand ready to preform the spell on the small object. "Engorgio" He said, with the usual calm and conviction he'd learned helped with spells. In his mind's eyes he had imagined it growing bigger, and before his very eyes, the figurine did. Growing not too big, but bigger than it had been. The words that the professor had said, that they had to watch out from overgrowing something struck in his head, so instead of preforming the spell again, he just waited the few moments for the rest of the class to managed, at which point they were dismissed. The Gyrffindor teen glanced at no one as he gathered his things and left the room, heading towards the dorm room, to get more rest.

[justify]     Rosie was having a much better week than she was last week. Mostly because Rosie had come to terms with the drama going on at home. There was nothing she could do about it, and nothing she wanted to do about it. She began to wonder if her parents being separated would be a good thing. Maybe there would be less tension and fighting whenever Rosie came home for the holiday's. Rosie entered the empty Charms classroom and sat down in her usual seat. It was already the third week of lessons, and Rosie wasn't quite as swamped with homework as she was last semester. Likely it was only because she was taking more electives than she was anything else, but Rosie was still pretty proud of herself for being able to handle the workload as well as she was. "I just hope it's this easy once exams roll around. Otherwise I'm going to be screwed." Rosie pulled out some writing supplies and got ready for the day's lesson. She couldn't quite remember what was on the syllabus so she had no idea what they were going to be going over. Rosie was about to take a peek back at her notes when Professor Barnard promptly started the day's charm class.

Today they were going to discuss and practice a charm called Engorgio! Rosie smiled to herself as she already knew what the charm did. Sometimes it paid off to read ahead a little bit. However, she did pull out some writing supplies so she could take down some notes for the class. Not only to help her, but to help Bryce if he wound up needing help. Usually he was pretty good at figuring it out on his own, though. After a few lines of notes, and practicing the incantation a few times, the class was let off so they could practice the charm themselves. They probably didn't need to pair up because they weren't going to be enlarging one another, but Rosie still asked Bryce if he would like to partner up with her so they could help one another out. In the end, Rosie chose a quill to enlarge. "Engorgio!" With a swish and flick of her wand, the utensil suddenly grew. Rosie smiled to herself. Suddenly she gave it another attempt and let it grow again. Rosie stopped after that because she didn't want it to get too big and explode. Rosie practiced a third time on another object just as class was ending. They didn't have any homework which was pretty awesome! The class was then dismissed so Rosie packed away her things and left the class alongside her classmates.

[justify]Nikandros Matthias knew that this week would be quite boring. Sometimes he had the thoughts that this was the middle of the semester. The middle lesson before the next two lessons before a study lesson. Unless the class was lame and taught on the last week before exams. Nikandros shook his head as he entered the Charms classroom that he had to be in with the other third years, almost missing the separation with the four houses. But at least like this, he would be able to see that one girl that he was really started to crush on. He could not help it. It seemed he might have had a thing for brunettes, but he also liked the blonde hair too. Well, it was really depending on who, and how they wore it. Shrugging, he settled in the seat before he got ready for the class to eventually begin.

The professor greeted the third years, and today they were not going to be experimenting with the cheering charm, thankfully. Instead they were going to be focusing on a spell that made things bigger. Nikandros looked up with a gleam in his eye. It was not hard to tell what he was thinking about. The spell was called Engorgio and he knew that he had heard that spell somewhere before. The third years were going to be practicing the spell on the figurines. The Gryffindor could not wait! Once they were free to use the spell, Nikandros had a good look at his figurine. He would only use the spell once. He smirked a bit, and he attempted the spell. The first try did not work, but the second try was a charm. It expanded to twice its size! Nikandros was awfully proud of himself, and once they were dismissed, he left with a smug look on his face.

[justify]Finally, the third week of lessons, and Damon Kyle looked forward to the rest of the semester with the other students. Well, he was not sure if they looked forward to exams. Alas, he entered the Charms classroom, and found himself at ease with the subject that he was going to be learning soon. Damon really wanted to just sit down and get started! Damon found his seat in the front of the class, and he settled in beside his best friend. He waited for the others to arrive which was getting closer and closer. He was one of the first ones to come in here, out of all of the third years anyway. Third years were plentiful for some reason, and then when one looked at the older students, it was not so much! Oh well, it was something he looked forward to. He waited for the lesson to begin at last.

The students were greeted and once more he had to fight to keep from saying hi back and disrupting the class. Damon did not want to lose house points over being too friendly after all! The spell that they were going to be learning was none other than Engorgement charm, which was called Engorgio. They were warned not to use the spell on classmates which he knew why. No one wanted to be a giant! He sure as hell did not want to be no matter how much fun it would be towering over everyone like someone in the Zhefarovich family. He thought that he was a shrimp compared to them. They were going to be working on figurines. He smirked a bit, and he thought that it would be amazing. He got right to work. He managed to make it twice the size before he was dismissed, which he was proud of!

Professional Photographer - Seer - Part-Veela - Divination Professor (Y5-Y7)

[justify]Though the holidays seemed to be a bit farther away, Bryce Chamberlin still thought that the weeks were going by too fast. He looked forward to the weeks ahead, and he really wanted to spend some time with his sisters. After all, the Ravenclaw missed them a lot, and he hated being the youngest and the only one in the school. It just blew. Bryce walked into the Charms classroom and he took his seat near the front where he would wait for Rosie to come and sit down next to him. They always sat together even though he was interested in Sofii. They were both artists, or aspiring artists. Bryce really looked forward to the class ahead since he liked attending the class. Bryce did not really have a least favorite anymore, but the less spells, the better for him. At least they were going to be learning something new, which can’t be that bad.

Once everyone was settled into the classroom, Bryce looked up and he could see the greeting of Professor Barnard as she started up the class. The charm today would not be the happy charm thankfully but one that could make objects bigger. The spell was called Engorgio, and he made sure that he got the pronounciation right with some help since he did not know how to even begin to pronounce a word like that. The object that they were going to make bigger was none other than the little figurines in front of them. He looked at it and he mentally prepared himself for the spell. Releasing a sigh, he took out his wand and he practiced on the spell. By some miracle, he managed to get it on the first try. He chuckled to himself before he waited to be dismissed. Once dismissed, he grinning and left the classroom for the day.

[justify]The third week of lessons was just like the Wednesday of the week. Right in the middle and right between the start of the year, and the end of the year. It really sucked, and Sergei Zhefarovich hated it. He wanted to go home and go enjoy himself. However right now, it just seemed like they were going to be doing nothing good in Charms, however he knew that in order to pass, he would have to pretend to like it and perform the spells correctly. Sergei walked further into the classroom and found his seat in the back like per usual. Sergei’s eyes drifted up to the professor and noticed on how she was, still just something about her that made him sneer. It was annoying as hell. Well, the class would begin soon as the class started to fill up with other third years that were eager to learn this crap

The spell today was not going to be the one where he wished that he could jump off of a cliff. That was a blessing in disguise. He instead was relieved to hear about another useless spell that would make items larger with the one word of Engorgio. He did not really see the point in it. He knew that some of his family members might have snickered at some inappropriate thoughts when it came down to the spell. However Sergei did not. Instead he focused on the figurine that they would have to make bigger. Sergei took out his wand and he used the spell. At first it just barely grew an inch before he did it again and it grew to the proper size that he assumed the professor was looking for. He smirked a bit, and he turned it in. Once they were dismissed, Sergei shoved past the others to get out of the classroom to go to his dorm.
