Apparition 2

[Irene Finch]

Irene stood in her Ministry robes looking as poised as ever as she awaited the sixth years' arrivals. Today, they'd finally get some practice in. She knew that some students had experience with side-along apparition, but doing it alone was a very different experience. They'd soon find that out for themselves. It was one thing to go along for the ride, and quite another thing to be the person who had to remember the 3 Ds and execute them perfectly.

"Let's go. You don't have all day and neither do I." Irene Finch urged the students forward impatiently as the first student walked tentatively through the open Great Hall doors. She took roll as they entered, shutting the doors from the distraction of younger students who wanted to see what was happening. "You don't need to be on top of each other. Space yourselves out!" she stated, exasperation in her tone. Irene gave her wand a small flourish and a large wooden hoop appeared in front of each student, falling into place before them.

Looking around at their faces, Irene stared at each student for the briefest of moments, making judgments about their ability to succeed at the task before them. She had been doing this long enough that she was rarely wrong. "Alright, let us begin. Today, you will make your first attempts at apparating" she declared, her hands on her hips as she walked around. "Before we begin, however, can someone remind us of the three Ds?" she pointed to a student and nodded her head as they responded.

"Excellent" she stated. "Now that you've all been reminded of the three Ds, it is time to put them into practice. For your safety, one of your school nurses is here" she nodded towards the corner where the nurse was stationed. "If you splinch yourself, please remain in your spot and the nurse or I will come to you. No sense bleeding all over the place" she stated with a small shake of her head, not even thinking about how startling that sentence might seem to a muggleborn. She didn't explain splinching either. Sooner rather than later, she was sure they'd learn if they didn't already know. "Begin. I will be walking around."

School nurse welcome!

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy was so ready for this. He’d side along apparated loads of times and he knew he could do it. It would be easy for him. He raised his hand and answered, “Destination. Determination. Deliberation.” like he really knew what the heck that meant. Then, without thinking much about it, he closed his eyes and turned on the spot and when he open them he was exactly where he started. He looked around confused, maybe the headmaster had forgotten to lift the restriction on apparating in the Great Hall. That was the only plausible explanation Teddy had as he looked around to see if anyone else could do it.

Realising that maybe it was him, he took a deep breath and gave it another go. This time he thought about those three D's properly. Destination was the hoop, determination was Teddy really wanted to be in the hoop, and the deliberation he assumed meant thinking and not rushing. He closed his eyes and tried again, turning on the spot when he was ready. This time he did feel his body squeeze and when he opened his eyes, he was stood inside the hoop. He immediately felt around himself to make sure he wasn't splinched before celebrating how awesome he was at everything.

 

[Aurora Chase]

Aura wasn't sure if she was ready for this, but she was going to give it a try, this was the show of their adulthood honestly so she didn't want to pretend that this wasn't a big moment. This was the real deal and she didn't want to mess it up, especially not with Teddy here, she didn't want to fail in front of him. She tried to breathe in, but she coughed a little bit with nervousness. Destination. Determination. Deliberation. She kept it in her mind, trying to focus as she tried not to splinch herself, that was a scary word. She locked her eyes on the centre of the room, seeing herself in her mind and imagining herself over there where the hoops it. She felt a horrible pulling sensation and when she opened her eyes she emptied the contents of her stomach onto the floor, breathing deeply to try and make herself feel better. She was annoyed Teddy looked so good doing it, like the absolute jerk he was, but at least she'd managed to do it.​

 

[Friday Weeks]

Friday was exceedingly ready for the apparation lesson. She took a spot in the hall and looked to the teacher. She was spread enough out and then just looked to the professor. She looked to the hoop and rolled her eyes at who answered the question before they were allowed to actually do it. Friday nodded and focused. She took a while but felt the tug and let herself be apparated to the hoop with a crack. It was nice to have succeed, and to have not left any part of herself behind. She then was able to head out of the room.
