Second Years Lesson Two [Jelly-Leg Jinx]

Professor Adler had almost finished restocking the cabinet that sat along the side of the classroom when the second years turned up for their next lesson. She wanted to make sure that any student, regardless of whether she was teaching them, had access to the basic necessities any student might need throughout the term. The drawers were filled with tissues, plasters, wipes and deodorant. Spare hand cream and sanitizing lotions, hair clips and products for the girls, and even extra pieces of parchment, fresh notebooks and multicoloured pens. It was free for all, and the mother in her was keen to make sure the students felt as though they had anything they could need.

"Good morning," the woman smiled as the students took their seats, although she was quick to jump into this lesson. "I hope everyone has brought their wands with them today?" If any student had left there's behind, this was going to more than a little tricky for them. "We'll be practicing our first spell of the semester, so please take a seat using last week's seating plan and we'll get to it." Geo knew this would be the chance for her to show the second year how she preferred to teach. The professor was stood next to a dummy at the front of the classroom, and it was on this that the blonde now pointed her wand. "Locomotor Wibbly!" She said clearly, and suddenly the legs of the dummy began to shake. "The Jelly-Leg Jinx causes the victims legs to turn to jelly, which could make it very hard for your victim to stay upright," excellent in a duel, if it came to it.

"I would like you work on this spell today but you have a choice. Either you can come to the front of the class, and practice on the dummies I have available for you in here. You can practice casting the spell and I can help if you run into any trouble. However, if you would prefer a more theoretical approach, I would like you to stay at your desk and write an essay on the uses of this spell, either option is fine." She knew not everyone would have an interest in the practical elements. "If you choose to practice the spell, you can use Finite to stop the effect." In some way, the counter-curse was even more important. "For those of you who feel like you're missing out by not casting this on a real person, please come and speak to me at the end of the lesson. Once you've done either of these, you can leave!" Geo smiled, moving to help the students that wanted to practice on the dummies at the front of the room.


To receive an O:
- Roleplay the lesson and EITHER
a) Practice the spell on a dummy
b) OR write an essay about when and/or why you could use the Jelly-Leg jinx (1 sentence is fine)
 
The second week came around quickly and Aiya still wasn’t sure how she felt about the classes she was taking. Some things were interesting, and some things really weren’t. At least she was having fun being a member of the Wild Patch Club, so she had something else to look forward to at Hogwarts. Because quite frankly, there wasn’t really much else that was interesting. With a sigh, the Slytherin followed her classmates to all of her classes for the day.

Aiya entered the Defence Against The Dark Arts classroom and took her assigned seat from the previous lesson. She was unsure why the professor was being so particular about it and she didn't think she'd ever understand. They were learning the Jelly-legs jinx today which sounded somewhat fun. The Slytherin scoffed as the professor asked everyone if they had brought their wands. They'd be absolutely stupid if they didn't.

When instructed, Aiya made her way over to a dummy to try and perform the spell. It didn't work the first try, but she was able to do it the second try and she chuckled as the dummy appeared absolutely helpless. It was definitely a satisfying feeling. Soon enough, they were dismissed and Aiya left the classroom.
