Josef let the students enter and congregate before gathering their attention as the bell rang. "We won’t be sitting down today. We’re heading elsewhere in the castle to practice." He scanned their faces briefly, giving a small nod. "Today’s lesson is about locking and unlocking spells—Colloportus and Alohomora."
He stepped aside slightly, drawing his wand. "Wands out. Let's start with unlocking. The incantation is Alohomora. Say it with me—al-LOH-ha-MOR-ah." They went over it a few times until he was satisfied. "Now, Colloportus—cull-low-PORE-tus. Again." Josef paced slowly in front of them as they practiced, correcting a few mispronunciations with a quick shake of the head or a raised eyebrow. Eventually, he nodded once. "Good enough. Let’s move."
Josef led the students down to the second floor, motioning for them to gather in the empty corridor. "Alright, check in. Is everyone here?" He gave them a moment, counting heads. No escapees. "Pair up. Choose a door. Most of these classrooms are empty, so you'll have space to practice safely. Lock and unlock the door with the proper spells—no shortcuts."
He pulled a small leather-bound notebook from her pocket, flipping it open. "Every time you successfully lock or unlock a door with the correct spell, I’ll award your house one point—up to a total of eight. If you're not sure it worked, ask me to verify. I'm watching."
With that, he stepped back, letting them get to it. His gaze was steady as he watched their progress, quietly tallying names and points while offering the occasional correction or encouragement. "When you’re finished, come let me know. Otherwise—good luck."
