Sixth Years, Lesson Five

“Good Morning guys!” He greeted them, with the same jovial tone as always. He might be tired, and this lesson may be short, but he couldn't be tired in front of students. Misha was young, that may seem unprofessional. “Hopefully, you have done the reading, the end of the term is soon, as are your exams!” He paced slightly in front of the students, “If you have, you'll know that today we are looking at the Flame Freezing Charm. You'll also know that we need a tiny little history lesson.” A few people in the class look annoyed at this, “It'll only take a few seconds, I promise. Anyway, back about three hundred years and more, muggles preferred to burn those individuals suspected of having magic at the stake. Many of these people did not suffer a painful death, but instead had only to suffer through theatrics. How did they do this? They learned how to change the properties of fire.”

Misha smiled in the room, removed the wand from his pocket and gave it a small flick. All the things of his desk, flew off and settled themselves on the ground, not too far away. The professor walked round, so he was at the back of his table, looking out at the class. Once again, with a small flick of his wand, a tiny part of the table was set alight. The flames began to rise, and dance, as fire always did. He cast the flame Freezing charm and then placed his hand in the middle of the fire. “The Flame Freezing Charm changes the properties of fire so that its heat feels like a warm breeze. Which is why my hand is not burning. It feels like a tickling sensation against my fingers.” He removed his hand from the fire and got rid of the fire. “Now, it's your turn” Professor Misha demonstrated the spell, and reminded them that it was dangerous to play with fire, so they should be careful. “Don't worry, I will help you keep things under control, and no one can put their hand into the fire, until I have tried it myself. Outside this classroom, practice at your own risk, but please avoid burning down the school. There will no reading for next week, just revise, folks.”

-RP the lesson, attendance is fine. You don't need to practice in class, your character can just leave. Feel free to RP Misha helping you out.

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy liked Charms, it was probably his favourite subject, and he liked the professor too because he did things in class like setting fire to the furniture. Teddy enjoyed the demonstration and got to work trying the Flame Freezing Charm for himself. He thought it would freeze the flame, but instead it made the fire cool which was a strange feeling. Once he had mastered the charm, he was putting his hand into the fire and thinking about all the pranks he could play with this one. Once the lesson was over, he packed up and left the classroom.

 

[Aurora Chase]

On the scale of her least favourite to most favourite subjects, Charms was about squarely in the middle for Aura. She liked it more than Defence, but not as much as Care of Magical Creatures, a solid Exceeds Expectations if she was expected to rank them. The flame freezing charm especially seemed like it would be incredibly helpful a lot of the time, and so she watch the demonstration and then moved on to practicing it herself. She wasn’t exactly gifted with charms, but she was hardly a waif either. When the Professor lit his desk on fire her mind reeled and she jumped back several spaces. She stood as far away from the fire as possible, almost bumping into several classmates. It took her a moment to remember herself and she stayed on the other side of the room. This spell was hard to practice, and it took her maybe twice as long as her classmates, but she did it anyway, because she was a Chase and they didn’t let a little thing like a phobia stop them.​

 

[Dominic Owens-Lee]

Dominic was sad that the semester was coming to an end soon, but he still had a couple of more weeks to go before the exams, so he was simply going to make the most of his time. With a sigh, the Hufflepuff just packed his belongings into his backpack and headed to his charms class. He entered the classroom and listened as the professor spoke about the flame freezing charm. He figured this one would be useful to help protect himself or others, so he listened intently as the professor spoke and demonstrated how to do the spell. When instructed, Dominic took out his wand and attempted the spell. It took a few tries and was harder than it looked, but eventually Dominic was able to do it, and he put his hand over the fire and didn't feel any heat at all. He thanked the professor for teaching him the charm before leaving the classroom at the end of the lesson.
