Year Two ; Lesson Three

[foxxers]

Celeste was waiting for her second years, tidying up her desk and papers. She still wasn't quite sure how she would go about doing this lesson, but she had a vague idea. If they knew the Stupefy charm, it'd make things easier, but they didn't, so that was out of the question. Well, she would just have to do what she'd planned. It was safer for the students the way she'd planned it.

Lesson Three
Year Two

Ennervate

[xxbrokenheartxx]

On time again. Yay! She walked into the classroom and sat down. She smiled at Celeste. "'ello, Professor." She scanned the room. It was empty. O.o Amazing. She was the first person there. A good mark on her record. Cheeeeeck. She kinda needed that, after Herbology and History of Magic the other day. But she figured she didn't need to really worry about Charms. She was good with charms.

[robotboy]

Dezi was kind of happy today, for a reason unknown to him. He came into the Charms classroom, giving the T.A. a smile before plopping himself down into the seat next to the Slytherin girl. Grinning over at her, he said, "Hello, Aaryn! How are you today?" Then he took out his notebook and a pen and pencil, as well as his Charms book, setting it all on top of his desk. He sure was ready for the lesson. [:

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusion walked up to the Charms class room, and opened the door. Holding her Charms book to her chest, she looked around the class. She was one of the first, besides a boy and another girl. Shrugging off the thought, since she didn't know either one of them, she walked to the other side of the class room, and took a seat, hoping some of her friends would show up soon. Taking out her parchment and quill she began writing down what was to be done today. Looking up once again, she smiled at the T.A "hello Ms. Halliwell. Lovely day for a class." Illusion said happily.

Charms -- one of Melissa's better classes. She was doing really good in that class, and she had been doing all of the work so far. So in two lessons, she thought she was passing. But she really couldn't tell.

As she limped into the classroom, she noticed Aaryn, Dezi, and some other female student already present. The Ravenclaw didn't say anything, but she nodded to the teacher as she found a seat around the middle of the room. She pulled out some parchment and a quill from her bag and looked up at the board.

Ennervate. Miss Atherton didn't know what it was, yet she was eager to find out.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Dezi entered the room and sat next to her. Hello, Aaryn! How are you today? he asked her. "Good, good," she said, "I promise I won't make a scene this class, I like Celeste too much to do that. How are you?" She grinned. She watched another girl enter and then Melissa enter. Oh, she hoped Melissa would sit next to her. But... No. She frowned slightly.

[taylormendez]

Taylor's figure turned into the Charms classroom. Her eyes immediately did a quick scan of who was in the room and was followed by a small smile seeing only a couple others."Early" Taylor says to the herself, followed by a slow grumble, as she found a seat in the back of the room.

She quickly plopped herself down and took out her wand and placed it on the table in front of her. A smirk spread across her face. Taylor folded her arms across her chest, looking up at the board.

[ma]

Melissa had already been sitting down at her seat; parchment and quill out so she could take some notes and actually pay attention. But as soon as she saw Aaryn turn to see where she had been sitting... Oh, the frown. It made the Ravenclaw feel as though she was a bad person for not going over towards her new-found friends in the first place. She could be nice and move. Would she? Her conscious told her to do it. She was getting ready to just pick her stuff up and go. Move, dammit. Move!

And everything just seemed to fall into place like a puzzle that had all of its pieces. She got up all of a sudden, picking up the materials that had been on her desk, and grabbed her bag that was on the floor. Okay, she didn't need much convincing. But as long as there weren't too many people in the room -- and as long as class hadn't started yet, which the Ravenclaw could clearly point out to you that it hadn't -- she could probably move as many times as she wanted to until the teacher started up the lesson.

"Hi, guys," she said, placing her bag down on top of a desk this time, next to Aaryn. Charms had been one of the best classes on the face of the planet, and as far as she knew, it could not get worse. Great teacher, great way of trying out the spells. So far this term, they were slicing carrots and trying to stop objects from moving around too much. Good times.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Yay! Her Ravenclaw friend had joined Aaryn. She smiled at Melissa. She realized why Melissa had sat in the middle, finally, and felt a little guilty. Her Ravenclaw friend probably thought that she couldn't get any work done with Aaryn. Ravenclaws were normally very studious and smart... But Aaryn would prove to her, that she would do nothing in Charms. She really did like Celeste.

"Hey Melissa," Aaryn said, grinning, "how goes life for you?"

She was glad she had, not one, but two, class buddies. Class would be a lot more interesting with these two people. She <3ed Dezi, he was always a lot of fun. Melissa was nice, smart, and they shared an enemy in Ms. Kohn. Now, if only Gia would join her little gang, it would be perfect. She could add her best friend to the mix. But, she wasn't sure what Gia would think after she heard about HoM and Herbology. She'd probably laugh.

Speaking of Gia... Where was she these days? Aaryn hadn't heard from her in ages. Aaryn missed her bestie. She hoped they wouldn't fall apart. She didn't want to go through finding a new bestie. That would be difficult and no one could replace her Ms. Frogs. <3

[giannine]

Gia was on time for Charms this time. Now, if only she could keep her mind on the whole lesson. The words 'Ennervate' were on the board, and Gia couldn't remember just what that meant.

Recognizing most of the classmates, Gia took a seat by herself and pulled out her notebook, scribbling down a few notes such as 'Pay attention' to herself. These days, her notebook was back with her everywhere, since she could just never seem to stop thinking. At night, she wrote in it until she was too tired to hold the pencil and or quill up, and would dream of words on paper.

Aaryn was in the room too, but there were two people that she didn't know very well sitting with her. Since she hadn't done much in the way of being with her bestie lately, Gia just sighed. It would really suck if she and Ms. Toes fell apart. That would mean that Gia would just have Erick and Brie, and while that wasn't horrible, nobody was Ms. Toes except for Ms. Toes =)

Pulling out a piece of parchment, Gia copied what was on the board and went back to writing.[/size]

[ma]

"Life has been just perfect lately," Melissa said, not too hesitant about her answer. "Better than usual, it seems. Nothing could ruin the wonderful moment in life known as Charms." At least, she hoped nothing would. The teacher was nice, and she made lessons fun. The only way the class could suck was if teacher Celeste became bitter about everything in life, or tried to twist her own words around.

As far as the Ravenclaw knew, she hadn't done that yet. And she was happy because of it.

She finally placed her bag down on the floor, next to the new seat she had been occupying, and placed her parchment and quill down on the desktop. Directing her attention towards both Aaryn and Dezi, Melissa asked, "How are things with you? Going well, I assume."

[vivian]

Vivian walked into the classroom, thrilled that she had been promoted to second year. She took a seat next to Taylor and turned to face her. "Hey." she said, smiling at the girl. Vivian loved to make new friends. "I'm Vivian." she introduced herself. She didn't know if she should tell the girl what house she was residing in, because she didn't know what house the girl was in. What if Taylor was in Slytherin, and hated the members of all the other houses?

[troyzoton]

Troy walked into the Charms lesson and took a seat at one of the desks in the back row of the classroom, he looked around and realised that weren't too many students in the lesson, so he sat down and waited quietly.

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Gia entered. And, of course, didn't sit next to her. >=[ She always had to frown. Why didn't people get the message she was trying to send telepathically, COME TO AARYN. Wait... Okay, stuff made more sense now. She looked at alone Gia and tried to motion for her to come over. She wondered if Gia saw, hopefully. Then they would have a foursome. That would be a happy day.

Aaryn smirked as she called Charms perfect. It was certainly a step up from the other classes she was in. "My life goes well," she said, "hmmm, part of me is excited to annoy Ms. Kohn in Herbology again today, and part of me is like... Do I really want to go through that again? You know?"

Melissa probably didn't know. Because Melissa, the poor thing, had cried. And she probably didn't want to ever see Ms. Kohn's nasty face ever again. She probably wanted Ms. Kohn to die an ugly death. No, she probably didn't want Ms. Kohn to die a nasty ugly death, that was what Aaryn wanted, Melissa was to nice to think something like that.

[brady]

Brady walked into Charms and took a seat. He didn't know anyone in the class but he was sure more people would come and he would know someone. He walked toward the middle and found an empty desk and sat doown. He got his things in place and looked up at he board ingoring the chatter around him.

Lesson Three
Year Two

Ennervate

That sounded intresting. He took out a peice of parchment and a pencial. He began to write down the ennervate on the top of the parchment as his heading. He looked p and put his pencial down waiting for class to start.

[taylormendez]

Taylor turned her head and stared at the girl who had greeted her. Who had shortly after found a seat beside her. "Hey. It's nice to meet you Vivian. I'm Taylor Mendez. First Year, Slytherin." she whispered to the girl, a smiling curving her lips.

[ma]

"I'm just hoping that the class doesn't turn into another one of those hellfests. It's already happened to our Year twice this term. If it happens a third time, I think I'm about to go to straight to the source and demand an explaination."

There. Melissa said it. All of this pent-up anger was finally coming out. Thankfully, none of it would be forcefed onto her friend. Think of it as a preview of what was going to come if the chaos didn't stop. Part of her wanted there to be a Herbology class, so she could do a mini-sit in of sorts... Walk in, pull out some parchment and a quill, and then just sit there and take notes. She wouldn't really talk. A wave hello, smiles, frowns, eye rolling. That would be about it. And then there was a part of her who wishes that there wasn't going to be a class that day. At least then it would be some time away from the Greenhouse of Doom.

Cute name for a place like that, huh?

[foxxers]

Celeste looked around as students entered, giving them smiles and 'hellos' as they took their seats. Some of them began talking, which she didn't mind in the slightest. A few actually talked about Ms. Kohn, the Herbology Teacher Assistant, and she smirked to herself. Nobody liked that woman, did they? Not much she could do about it, no matter how much she disagreed with her teaching practices.

Deciding it was time to begin, Celeste got everyone's attention and said, "Hello. So, today we'll be learning the Charm 'Ennervate'. Does anyone know what Ennervate means?"

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Ennervate

What did the word remind her of? It reminded her off invigorate. She remembered reading somewhere about it being used when someone was stunned. So. Therefore, it would probably mean to bring back to consciousness? Perhaps something like that. She hoped so. Because she was about to raise her hand and say it. Hopefully, she didn't make a complete fool out of herself.

"Does it mean, to bring back to consciousness, or something?" she asked, hopefully.

She hoped she was near right. Then, perhaps, she could get house points for the Slytherins, as they were losing right now. And that was NOT a good thing. The party last time was fun. She wanted it again. And if she couldn't hold a party for the house cup... She would hold a party for something else. But then other houses would come and that would be icky.

[sweetjen51]

"Ennervate brings back people who have been knocked unconscious by the spell Stupefy," I said walking into class and sitting down to the nearest desk by the door, pilling out my books and wand.
