Seventh Years, Lesson Two

"Morning class!" Misha smiled at his students as he took a small sip of the tea and then placed it upon the table that he, as usual stood in front of. "Now class, time to get your brains into action, can anyone tell me, what spell you used in fifth year to blast an object out of your path? Or more notably a hole in a bush?" Misha glanced at his students, hoping they knew exactly what he was asking. He didn't however delay the lesson, he called upon the first student with their hand raised, "Reducto," The student said, and Misha smiled at them happily, "Exactly, now class get ready for this, because I'm about to blow you away, what if I were to tell you that there are spells much more powerful than Reducto? Spells far more powerful, and more dangerous to handle, than Reducto" He stopped, leaving the question and statement hanging in the air, while he took this moment to drink from his slowly cooling tea.

"Seventh years, you all are NEWT level students; if you thought the spells you covered in fifth year were dangerous, I urge you to think again. We are dealing with much more than futile blasting Charms here, and we have taken a step up from Conjuring. Today, students, I will be teaching you a spell that is on a monumentally different scale than Reducto. If you would follow me outside, we can begin the real thing." Misha took one final drink of his tea, before ushering the class out of the door. They seemed a little excited. He could only hope for more.

For this lesson, Professor Haden had sectioned off a large part of the lawn, which he had of course requested in advance. In the middle sat an old muggle car, which had definitely seen better days. It was much less of a car, more the skeleton of it. Behind them were several tables, with different car parts, for the students to practice once he'd shown them what to do. He turn to face the class, the usual charming smile on his face. "Expulso is the spell we will be exploring today. It causes an object to violently explode on impact. Your concentration must be top notch, your wand movements and pronunciation precise. Providing that everything is in order, you carry something incredibly dangerous beyond your wand hand. Let me demonstrate as so."


With a flick of his wand, Misha very clearly spoke, "Expulso!" A jet of magical light swirled towards the target object. The car exploded as if from the inside, rupturing and sending debris flying everywhere. Misha was quick to cast Protego Totalum about all of them, as soon as the spell had been cast. It amused him greatly as some students appeared to duck out of the way, though the debris was bouncing off the barrier and falling onto the grass. They didn't actually think he'd let him get hurt now did they? He turned towards his students, motioning them to observe the debris. The metal that had not been sent flying was twisted and contorted into a pile of nothing, rendering the car unidentifiable. The parts that had been inside it were charred and still smoking.


"Expulso is extremely destructive and has the potential to be incredibly harmful, so it goes without saying, do not use this spell on first years. Today Seventh years, you are going to be working on much smaller objects." He motioned to tables that he had placed far apart from one another. On each of the tables he had placed a small car part. "Today, I would like you to practice this charm on the part provided for you. You will not get it right away; it will take a while to get the hang of the spell itself. But by the end of today's lesson, you should be able to render something so small unidentifiable. Use the Shield Charm to protect yourself if anything flies your way; and remember, be on your guard. We don't want any casualties today." He smiled at his students and then let them get down to some practicing. Once, he felt everyone had practiced enough he dismissed the class.




rp the lesson (attendance post length is fine), someone answer the question for points.
 
Savannah walked into the charms classroom and took her usual spot in the room. She didn’t raise her hand at the question, letting someone else do that. The professor then told them about a more complicated version of it, and then took them outside to be able to demonstrate it. Savannah nodded and went outside, watching the professor show them the spell before the man then let them do it. She was disappointed they didn’t get to do it on the muggle object but was able to get the spell pretty quickly. She was very pleased with herself and then headed back into the castle when they were allowed to.
