"Good morning class! Almost at the end of term, nervous yet?" Misha gave a light laugh. While he was laughing about this now, he remembered clearly about what his OWLs were like. Frantic studying in the hope of remembering at least something. Anything. "As you can see, another quiz sits upon your table. Closed book, and begin!" He moved round his table and sat on the chair, propping his feet up onto the table, while taking a sip of his coffee.
Misha waited until it was clear all the students were done. "For this lesson, we need to head to a bigger, and more empty classroom. So, come on" He ushered the students out. He seemed to do a lot of that. He moved to the front of the students and lead them to the empty but large classroom at the end of the first floor. He got all the students inside, before standing at the front. For this he had made the room have sufficient light, so that everyone could see, all the desks were to the side of the room, with a vine, rope and chains wrapped around the chairs that were scattered about the room. "Today, fifth years, we will be covering Diffindo- the severing Charm. With this charm you can cut virtually anything that is not magically protected. Chains, ropes, what have you- I've even heard of students being able to replace much more interesting books with the cover of an undesirable textbook. In short, Diffindo cuts things. The efficiency with which you cut will depend on the amount of energy put into the spell and of course pronunciation and wand movement."
Unlike most other lessons, Misha chose to only briefly demonstrate what he meant, using the simple vine, flicking the wand and pronouncing the spell clearly so everyone would see. The vine cut itself apart perfectly. "Using regular wand movement and correct pronunciation you should be able to get the hang of this Charm quickly. You may leave when you have severed three things in total, a vine, a bit of rope, and a length of chain. I recommend starting with the vine and finish with the chain. If you happen to accidentally cut the chairs, I may count it as one of the three things. Begin!"
-RP the lesson, attendance post is fine
Quiz is optional, if you do it, then you get extra credit.
