Third Year, Lesson Four

"Good Morning everyone." Trina greeted the students brightly as the last few entered the classroom. "I'll try to keep it short today. We will be going over two spells: the Engorgement Charm and the Shrinking Charm," she clasped her hands, pacing slowly through the front of the room,

"The Engorgement Charm enables an object to swell or enlarge themselves at a certain extent. If it goes past that certain point, it will explode, like a balloon would if you blew too much air into it.” the professor explained with a smile, "Although it is not a balloon kind of explosion. It is said to be a violent one, so please do be careful, my dears," she fretted softly, looking over her students with soulful eyes. "While Finite can be used, the Shrinking Charm is also an effective counter-spell. It is quite self-explanatory, but remember that this charm causes shrinking both internally and externally," Trina explained, taking out her wand.

The professor took out one marble from a box of them on her desk and held it in her hand, holding it at an angle so that everyone could see it, "Engorgio," she spoke loudly enough for the whole classroom to hear, and in response, the marble grew and grew until it was the size of a baseball. "Reducio," she demonstrated as well and the marble went back to its original size. “You’ve seen the spell, now I would like each of you to come up and claim a marble. You can keep this marble; no two are the same. Now, remember, Engorgio is for enlarging and Reducio is for shrinking," she moved back to her desk, watching as each student came up and picked out a marble.

“Be careful not to let anything explode, but if you do that's okay. When you need my assistance just call me or raise your hand. I'll be wandering around," she told them before she let them do as they pleased with the marbles, staying close to try and make sure there were no accidents in the class today.

henri walked into the charms classroom and took his usual spot in the room. He was eager to get to the two spells they'd be covering, knowing that these would be good. He pulled his notes towards him and began writing down what the professor told them about both spells. He then took one of the marbles that were being handed out and got to practicing. He did both spells well enough, getting better at both as the lesson wore on. Eventually the lesson was finished and henri headed out of the room.
 
The two spells they were supposed to be learning this lesson did seem pretty useful to know, so Miles made sure to try and pay as much attention as possible to the lesson. He watched the Professor demonstrated the two spells they were supposed to be practicing before heaving up to the front of the class to collect one of the marbles they were to practice on. Miles ended up picking a nice pale blue marble, smiling as he carried it back to his desk for practice. He spent the remainder of the lesson trying to get a hang of both spells, managing to accomplish both of them at least once before they had been dismissed. At the end of the lesson, he tucked his new marble into his pocket before leaving the room with everyone else.
 
It was halfway through the semester and Tess felt time going very slowly. She had nothing to really distract herself with, and regretted not joining any clubs yet. It was much too late to do that now, and so Tess sighed as she packed all of her belongings that she needed into her backpack and headed to her classes for that week.

Tess entered the charms classroom and took her usual seat within the room. They were learning yet another 2 spells that were related and Tess didn't hesitate getting started with it when instructed. She headed up to the front of the classroom, collected a marble, and headed straight back to her desk with it. She closed her eyes first and imagined the marble getting bigger before saying the incantation out loud. It took a couple of tries but eventually she managed to get it, and shrinking the marble back to its original size was a little easier. As the lesson came to an end, the Gryffindor thanked the professor before heading straight to her next class.
