As the last student took their seat, Josef stepped forward. “Good morning,” he began, voice calm and steady. “I trust all of you did your reading.”
He flicked his wand, chalk beginning to write behind him: Wingardium Leviosa. “Who can tell me what this charm does?” He pointed to a raised hand. “Correct. Two points.” A slight nod, pleased. “It allows controlled levitation—your focus will determine its path. The object will move according to the direction of your wand, but only with consistent concentration. Now. The motion. Who remembers?” Another hand, another nod. “Swish and flick. Two more points. Let’s try that now.” Josef demonstrated the wand movement with precise control, waiting for the class to follow. “Excellent. Now—how do we end the charm?”
He called on one more student. “Finite. Correct again. Two points.” He raised his wand. With a subtle flick, small feathers appeared on each student’s desk. “Begin by lifting your feather with Wingardium Leviosa. Once you've got it in the air, practice ending the spell with Finite.”
For several minutes, he circled the room. A few corrections here and there, a murmured reminder about posture or focus. Eventually, he stopped at the front again.
“Those of you getting the hang of it—good. You may move on to heavier objects if you're confident, but take care. Accidents happen when confidence outruns caution.” He motioned toward a few simple, heavier objects that appeared with another wand flick. “No showing off, and if anyone ends up levitating their partner by accident, don’t expect me to be impressed.”
“Before I let you get back to it—your homework: I want you to review Lumos and Wingardium Leviosa. For both, give me two real-life examples of how you could use them day-to-day. This isn’t busy work. Magic isn’t about memorizing—it’s about knowing when to use what you’ve learned.” With that, he nodded once more, letting the class return to their practice before eventually calling time and dismissing them one by one, a rare but genuine “Well done today,” offered to more than a few of them.
