Second Years Lesson Four

She smiled as the students came into class, standing from her chair. She'd spoken to Sam, and between the few days the boys spent with their father and the babysitting her fellow Professor offered, Mallory'd gotten several of her lessons covered. "Hello, everyone. Take your seats, thank you," she smiled. "Alright, today's lesson is very simple. I trust you've done your reading?" She folded her hands, walking slowly along the front of the room, continuing on with the class. "The Repello charm is the opposite of the Accio charm. The charm is fairly self-explanatory; it repels things away from the target.” She laughed lightly. “There isn’t really very much to explain about this,” She told them, eyes scanning the room.

“The wand movement is simply pointing at your target and focusing your magic. The incantation is Repello, along with the name of what you wish to repel. For example,” Mallory turned, pointing her wand at a book on her desk. “Repello book,” she spoke firmly, and the book skidded away from her and off the end of her desk. It hit the floor with a clatter.

She smiled, motioning for the students to get up. “Gather your things, everyone, we’re going outside for the rest of this lesson. Come along,” she ushered them all out, taking them out to the Gardens on the school grounds. She smiled when the students had all settled. Peter was still out like a light, warm and content against her chest. “Now everyone. Please do be careful; for today's lesson I want you to practice repelling insects and worms away from the plants. Once you’ve succeeded, you can leave, but please tell me first.” She smiled warmly, folding her hands in front of her. “I will be right here if any of you need anything.”​

 

[Julian Nightray]

Julian followed the class down to the gardens after the lecture was over. He found an isolated spot and found a beetle on one of the flowers. Did he feel bad? No, not really. It took a number of tries but finally, with a firm, "Repello beetle," the beetle went flying off the flower. He practiced until class was over.​

 

[Huw Carew]

Huw sat down for Charms class looking forward to the lesson. The Repello charm seemed straight forward, basically the opposite of Accio. He followed the professor outside then started practicing, pointing his wand at the soil and saying "Repello snail." Huw was very happy when he was successful, heading back to the castle with a big grin on his face.

 

[Evan DAramitz]

Evan walked into the Charms Classroom, greeting Professor Grayveson politely as he did so. He waited until the class had begun and then began to write notes on the charm of the day. Apparently, they were learning about Repello, the opposite of the Accio charm. He wondered if they were going to learn Accio soon, then. Well, today was another hands-on lesson, where they went outside to practice repelling bugs and snails from the garden outside.

Evan pointed his wand at a big green bug he didn't know the name of and said, "Repello Bug!" He was pleased when he was successful.
