Charms lesson 2 (years 1st-3rd)

Katherine was 100% focused on her class and not her at home drama. Katherine wasn't sure if the kids would get this lesson down but she was going to try it and hopefully it did work. As she walked into her classroom and with a flick of her wand the desks magically stocked up and was pushed into the corner of the room along with the chairs. The blonde's lesson involved them standing and a lot of concentration. She just hoped it went well with the Seize and Pull lesson.

Brayden was a little stunned when he saw that he was the first one in the Charms classroom. The only other one standing there was the Professor, like not even Ares or Jaden were there and it got kind of creepy how he was the first one there. Brayden sighed and walked further into the room and then noticed how the chairs and desks were not there but in the corner. Now his Belladonna mind was getting the best of him, now he was getting excited.

Isabelle hummed softly, skipping down the halls to her Charms lesson. She felt her bag hit into her side with ever stride, but that didn't bother the young Wormwood, then again very few things actually did. The black haired girl waved and smiled to her professor, the air of the room telling her that something was a little off about the older witch's mood, but she didn't press it. She deserves her privacy just as much as anyone she thought, putting her bag down on the side of the room and moving to where another student was stood.

"Hey, you're... Brayden, right?" she asked the Belladonna boy, the only other occupant of the classroom. The girl was a little confused as to why there weren't more people there, though Isabelle had a habit of being early sometimes.

Just like she liked it, Gillian arrived slightly early to class. This was one of her favourite classes even if she wasn't that good at it, because charms was the epitome of magic for her; almost everything she imagined that magic could do, you could learn to do it in charms.

So she stepped into the classroom and stopped dead in her tracks, wondering if she had arrived to the right classroom, for there didn't seem to be any desks or chairs. Taking a second look around, she noticed the teacher and two other students inside; Gillian muttered a "hello" and just walked to one side of the classroom and sat on the floor cross-legged, and waited patiently as he leaned back and watched the other two student.

Estelle mumbled to herself about how she needed to learn more spells otherwise she would have been better off a muggle. She knew a few basic charms but second years probably knew more than she did. There was only so much reading she could do before giving up when spells just did not work. Her mind was not in a concentrating mood. She would prefer to just write lines and lesson to a lecture.

When she walked into the room, she knew that this was not going to be one of those lessons. Stacked into a corner were desks and chairs meaning that Estelle had to stand. With people. Her heart beat a little faster as she closed the door behind her. Her eyes kept to the floor and prayed she would not trip in front of these people. From the corner of her eye she saw house colours and knew that there was someone from her house. That still didn't set her mind at ease.

Standing off from the group, she pulled at a loose thread on her cloak, watching it grow longer before it broke off in her hand. Sighing, she kept her eyes firmly on the ground, staring into space. Her hair curtained her face and she felt a familiar tickle of her golden brown hair on her cheeks. Her mind began to wonder off to which phase of the moon it was to be tonight...

Jaden quickly then walked to charm and was glad she was not late. he had been very busy lately and tired but she knew if she wanted to be Head Girl someday she should keep up her grades and this was because Sadie would be disappoint in her. Jaden walked into class and sat down, waiting for the lesson to begin. She saw Brayden in the class and smiled at him then because he was her friend.

Katherine watched as her students began to pile in one by one, the turn out was good.and she was glad for that. The blonde haired Professor waited a few more minutes before she began her class. "Hello everyone and welcome back, so.for.today we will be learning the Seize and pull charm. Basically the name gives it away but I need two people to give me two different helpful ways on how this can come in handy" Katherine waited for two different volunteers to speak.

Ares was running late for Charms and he knew someone would tell either his brother or parents but he knew the Charms Professor was a very nice woman and hoped that she could let it slide just this once. When he entered the classroom the Professor was speaking to the class. Ares raised his hand and spoke. "One way you can use this Charm is to seize your enemy and pull them closer to you to get a better shot at them" he answered.

Prof. Zanderson was right, charms names were quite obvious, and all she was really asking about was creative ways to use the charm. In all honesty, Gillian thought that most answers were far fetched, and she was quite sure that most witches and wizards used them to do everyday stuff without a lot of effort.

When another student arrived late and still answered something about pulling your enemies closer, Gillian could only raise an eyebrow and suppress a smile, *was this guy for real?* Gillian thought, but then it occurred to her that maybe his life before Salem had made him give those kind of answers, and made her wish she knew more about him and why he was like that. She still wanted to give a completely different answer so she raised her hand and said "you could use it to rescue someone who's in danger?"

Katherine waited for an answer and was stunned that Ares still managed to answer her question even though he was a little late for her class. Then Gillian answered a complete different answer and she was still impressed they knew their spells in a way. "Correct, ten points for each of you. So today I want you to partner up and perform this spell. You will seize and pull your partner closer to you and vice versa. There is no incantation for this spell but if you do the correct wand movement you shall get it" Katherine pulled out her wand and moved it counterclockwise. "That is the correct movement, partner up and begin" she instructed.

Brayden mentally applauded Ares for getting a correct answer even though he just entered the room. When Professor Zanderson said for them to partner up, the Belladonna went to his best friend who just so happened to be Ares. "Wanna be partners man?" Brayden asked Ares, the two had a lot in common and was glad to call Ares a friend.

Ares sort of zoned out a bit but heard something about creating bubbles and partnering up. Ares didn't have time to move before Brayden came over. He was glad because that was who he was going to ask to be partners with. "Yeah, sure. I was going to ask anyway" Ares grinned and looked at him. "So who goes first? You or me?"

Brayden thought about who could go first, he didn't really care who went first as long as they got it finished so neither got in trouble for it. "I guess you can go first" he gestured for Ares to start. It would be easier if Ares went first and he would follow in suite.

Ares nodded when Brayden suggested that he go first. "Okay" Ares moved farther away from Brayden so he could have space between them to make it easier. The Wormwood pointed his wand at his best friend and did the correct hand movement, next thing he knew he had seized Brayden and pulled him closer. "Your turn buddy."

Brayden let his guard down and before he knew it he felt himself being bound and pulled towards Ares. When he realized what had happened he had to admit he was clearly impressed. The Belladonna wasn't used to these kinds of spells but he was getting the hang of them. "Nice, my turn now" Brayden said as he went back to his previous spot and pointed his wand at Ares before performing the spell which caused the Belladonna to seize the Wormwood and pull him closer.

She watched as only two students partnered up and the others didn't. Katherine sighed and just waited to see if the others would partner up with one another and follow her instructions, she watched the two boys and saw that they both did the spell correctly. She looked at the clock and saw that she needed to wrap up her classes now. "Okay guys time's up, good work Brayden and Ares you both did great as for the rest of you can you please follow instructions next time. Anyway that was great work for today and I shall see you all again next lesson. Bye everyone" Katherine dismissed.
