Seventh Years, Lesson Four

The classroom looked a little different to what the seventh years would have been used to up to that point in the year as the desks had been pushed to the side leaving a large space in the middle of the classroom. He stood back and waited for his students to make their way inside and he directed them inside with a wave of his hand. "Put your bags by the door and come on in," Once they were all inside he waved his hand to close the door. "Today we will be practicing wandless magic to build on your successful attempts at nonverbal magic, now many of you will have performed wandless magic unwittingly as a child before you came to Hogwarts however, to perform it with more complex spells will take, practice and skill which you're all used to by now,"

James motioned his hand to a table he had set up toward the back of the classroom which had a number of scrolls laid out across it. "We'll start with something simple which should help you get started, we will be practicing the summoning charm which you learned to perform back in your first year with wands, this will take a clear mind and a lot of patience, you have become dependant on your wands and they will feel like an extension of yourself, this remains the case so using magic without them will take time to master,"

"Using wandless magic, summon a scroll from the table at the back of the room, visualise the scroll leaving the desk and coming into your hand, feel free to say the incantation out loud if this makes things easier for you but you should eventually come to a point where you can perform the spell non-verbal and wandless, you can start practicing whenever you are ready," James spent the lesson moving between the students helping out anyone who needed it. When their time was up he got their attention once more. "Good work today, continue to practice in your free time and if anyone needs help my door is always open, class dismissed,"

[Apolline Fontaine]

Apolline walked into the defence against the dark arts classroom and put her bag at the side like she was told to, she had gone to grab her wand when the professor said they didn't need to. Instead they would be doing non-verbal wandless magic, which felt like an impossibility. Apolline listened to what the professor said and then they were to try it. She felt a little aimless without her wand, but she tried the spell, only managing it when she said the incantation. She knew she'd need to work on it.

 

[Morrie Ayre]

Morrie had never been much good at non-verbal magic, and now she was expected to do it without her wand too?! She sighed, putting down her bag and participating in the lesson. She looked at the scroll she was supposed to summon but didn't understand what the professor meant by visualising it coming to her, how on earth was she supposed to do that? Morrie tried but had no success and by the end of the lesson she was so mad that she had to storm out without a word to anyone.
