Lyra could see that a lot of her students preferred practical work, most students in the school did, but unfortunately, sometimes they had to have lectures instead and take notes. "Alright, settle down." she announced, waiting for the fourth years to settle themselves before standing and smoothing out her robes. "Today we will be talking today about the Drought Charm and the Bubble-Head Charm. The incantation and wand movement for these are written in your textbooks so if you've read about these then you should already know what they are." So far they seemed to be doing all their reading and would know what the uses and properties were if they had, but she would review it none-the-less for those who had undoubtedly forgotten or, more likely, just put it off or not wanted to do it.
Lyra began to pace slowly in front of the class. "To begin with, we have the Drought Charm, which means to dry up. This charm is used to dry up puddles and small ponds, spills and messes." she smiled before continuing on. "There are, however, still some limitations, this spell doesn't work on large-scaled bodies of water like seas and lakes.”
Lyra paused in the front of the room, running a hand over her robes. “Another useful water-related charm is the Bubble-Head charm. Who can tell me what this does?" she asked, calling on a student. "Very good, two points. This charm creates an air bubble around your head, allowing you to breathe underwater for a limited amount of time. It will cover the casters’ nose and mouth and acts as a shield to the water so that the oxygen contained inside it is used to breathe. Do be careful, it is a timed spell, as you can only breathe the same oxygen for so long, and it is not impenetrable, so you must be careful not to pop it." It was a dangerous game to play but all magic had to be used carefully.
"Take note of these charms, and then you are free to go," she smiled warmly at them all, finishing the lesson a little early. "If you would like some extra study material, I have a few study guides for this class that could help with your upcoming exams," she added before taking a seat back at her desk.
