Josef waved his wand before the students entered to scatter a massive amount of cushions around the room. Once all the students made it to their seats, he gave a small nod. “Good morning, all. Hope you’ve done the reading—though, if not, we’ll be putting it into practice soon enough.” He gestured broadly to the scattered cushions. “Today’s charm is Accio—the Summoning Charm.”
Josef didn’t waste time launching into a lecture. Instead, he raised his wand, pointing it toward a well-worn navy cushion. “Accio blue cushion.” The object zipped across the room and landed cleanly in his hand. “It’s straightforward magic in theory. In practice, however... well.” He set the cushion down. “If you just say ‘Accio cushion’ without being specific, there’s a good chance you’ll be buried alive in stuffing. And I don’t fancy digging you out.”
With a flick of his wand, more cushions levitated gently to a few central stacks. “You’ll be summoning these to start. Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you can try with other objects in the room. Nothing too heavy. No desks, no classmates, no pets—assuming someone smuggled one in again.” He gave one student in the back a pointed glance.
“Focus on intent. Picture the item in your mind, point, and call it to you.” Josef stepped aside, arms crossed as he began moving among them, offering the occasional correction or quiet encouragement. A sudden whoosh nearly caught him off-guard as a cushion zipped past his head. He turned, raising a brow at the student in question. “You’ve got power—now try aiming.” His tone wasn’t scolding, just mildly amused. “That goes for the rest of you, too.”
As the charm practice began to settle, he clapped her hands together once. “Right. Homework.” A few groans rose from the group, and he allowed them. “I want you to list four practical uses for Accio in everyday life. Think about real-world scenarios, not just ‘Accio my socks’ unless you can convince me why that’s an emergency.” He gave them a tired, half-hearted grin. “Cushions back where you found them, and you’re free to go. Good work today—really.”
Blackboard:
— Accio: Summoning Charm. Use to call objects toward you.
— Focused intent and specific wording are critical.
— Wand movement: direct point at target object.
— Practice only on assigned items (cushions, light objects).
— Avoid summoning multiple items at once.
Homework:
List four everyday uses for the Accio charm. (5 House Points)
OOC Notes:
RP your student practicing the spell for full marks.
Mentioning homework IC = 5 house points.
Answering/asking questions in-character = 2 points.
