[justify]Connor Barnard walked into her classroom sad but also happy that the semester was almost over. Her students were mostly doing very well and she was pleased in her teaching abilities. She had to give all thanks to the Professor from Durmstrang who taught her, as well as many of the other Professors here who helped her along her way with teaching new students. It had been a challenge and she was sure in further years she would still be nervous to teach the first years. Waving her wand so the door open Connor waited will all the students were in the classroom before beginning the lesson. "Good Day Students. And welcome to revision. Today's class you will be moving about the room in groups and practicing the four spells which we have learned so far this year. After today there will be one more class for you to learn before the final exam." Connor said pointing out the four stations for the students to practice at. "If you do not feel comfortable to move on when I instruct you too feel free to stay at the station and continuing practice. I expect you to complete at least two of the stations today. The other spells you will just have to remember as you are not permitted to practice them outside of the classroom. If you believe you need extra time with me, feel free to stop by my office and ask for help," Connor said with a smile on her face. She let them go and create their own groups, however each station the students would work alone as there would be enough at each station for each student. After the time of the class had run out, Connor dismissed her students reminding them to come prepared for the next class, ready to practice.


Role Play Lesson. Complete your character having success or failure at least two of the stations for a good grade.

Paige was ready for the end of this semester, she wanted the exams. She was in need of vacation, some time for herself not learning. Paige had her wand safely hidden into her left sleeve. Her backpack was hanging casually on her right shoulder. A quick look at Andrea said she was not far behind and Paige walked in a bit more quicker pace to walk next to Andrea. Paige walked into the classroom and seated herself behind a desk in the second row, taking her wand in her left hand. Today was the revision and that would be a bit easier than the lesson before. Paige was grouped with Andrea and a Ravenclaw. They first started at the Wingardium Leviosa station. Paige knew this spell and with a nice swish and flick and a loud and clear 'Wingardium Leviosa' the feather in front of her rose up in the air. In the same movement Paige pulled the feather back to earth. They tried Wingardium Leviosa a couple of times until they all mastered the spell. They all waited for everyone to finish and then move on to the second station.

The second station was used for the spell Depulso and Everte Statum. Paige had a difficult time with the second spell and did not dare to practise it. Paige stood in front of the dummy and gave her wand a sweep while pointing at the dummy. ''Depulso.'' The dummy shot backwards, it was kind of spectacular to see the red light that came with it. Paige had secretly practised the less harmful spells, but Depulso and Everte Statum seemed kind of dangerous. Paige also tried the other spell Everte Statum, this one was a bit more difficult and Paige had still problems with the spell. Paige pointed her wand and spoke the spell loud and clear the orange light was not as bright as the Professor was in the fourth lesson, but this time it was actually orange and not a faint type of orange. The dummy fell over in an instant and Paige was glad that it worked. Paige had still a long way to go with the spell, but she came close it seemed that she had some talents after all. Paige tried another Depulso and now the effect seemed less, the Dummy was not going that fast backwards and it stopped fairly quickly. Paige thought it was because she was getting a bit tired and usually she was good with her hunches.

The lesson was over and the group totally forgot about the spell Accio. Paige remembered that Andrea could use this spell and Paige could do it too. The Ravenclaw seemed sad to miss the last spell, but that was obviously an annoying Ravenclaw trait. Paige was excited for their last lesson and Paige could not wait for next week. She shot her Professor a thankful look since she finally deserved one. Paige was glad that she tried to like this Professor now, she seemed young enough to already have a hard time with a couple of annoying first years. Paige and Andrea left the classroom, thy would came prepared.

Andrea yawned widely, scratching at the back of her head as she followed Paige to their Charms room. It was the week before exams so things were starting to wind down and Hogwarts had more of a lazy feel to it that the usual upbeat, rushed and crowded air. Paige had woken her up that morning at the usual time but, feeling rather lazy, Andrea had slept in a bit, rising with barely enough time to brush her hair and dress before they needed to leave for class.

Another yawn tore through her as they entered the classroom and she sighed, seeing that today they'd be reviewing spells rather than simply getting points for showing up. Oh well, she did love magic, despite being overly tired; she loved the little thrill she got every time she cast a spell. Setting her stuff down, she headed over the first station while Paige went off to the other ones, and drew her wand, pointing it at her target and saying, clearly and confidently, "Accio!" She knew this spell and used it regularly so, she was unsurprised when the object flew towards her on the first try.

Deciding she really didn't need much practice on that, she moved on after only one try, to the Depulso station. Pointing her wand at the target, she lazily cast the spell, her eyes widening when her wand only fizzled. Perhaps there was something to this whole concentration thing after all. Trying again, she narrowed her golden eyes at the target and said, "Depulso." determined to do better this time. That was more like it, she thought to herself, smiling smugly as the target flew backwards in response to her charm.

At that point, it was time to pack up and Andrea pursed her lips, slightly disappointed that she hadn't made it to the other two stations. Oh well, she, Paige and Bex could practice in their dormitory!
