Year Three ; Lesson Four

[foxxers]

This being the last lesson of the term, Celeste had something quite difficult planned for her third years. They would be working with a very useful spell, just in case any of them were forced to deal with a particular situation. She was ready to teach them; however, and was hoping they were ready to learn after her little vacation while on her honeymoon.

Behind her desk, Celeste waited for her students to arrive, a smile set in place.

Lesson Four
Year Three

Homorphus

Fayt walked through the door to the classroom. He was the first there. He politely smiled at the T.A. and took a seat. He took out his things and looked at the board. He had heard of this somewhere before, but where?

[ma]

Oops. Was this finally going to be the first time where Melissa would enter the class late? Was it going to mean points off of Ravenclaw for having her not remember a date of a class? Hopefully not. Charms was a good class, and if she ever made it into class late, she would never hope for the light of day to shine through the window of the dormitory ever again.

Though when she appeared in the classroom after what seemed like a long, limping 'run' from hallway to hallway, she nearly fainted. There was only one other person in the room, and the class didn't look like it had started yet. So it seemed as though class didn't get off the floor yet. She wasn't late? Boy, was that a shocker. She walked up to the second row of seats and claimed a desk around the middle of said row, where she took out some parchment, a quill, and her wand and waited for class to begin.

[So sorry. Too much I had on my calendar in the past few weeks.]

Chloie stepped into the room and looked around.

Fairly empty...that is surprising.

Sitting down next to Melissa, she gave a tired nod hello and smiled.

"How are you today?"

[foxxers]

Celeste smiled at the three students to arrive. Oh dear, where were all the third years? Oh well, she'd have to start without the majority of them. Standing up, she said, "Alright, class." That was to get their attention, although she didn't really think any of them weren't paying attention already. "Today we'll be learning about the Homorphus Charm. Can anyone tell me what the word 'homorphus' means?"

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Aaryn jogged into class, she was, what do you know, late. Aaryn sighed and slipped into a seat just in time to hear Celeste's question. Today we'll be learning about the Homorphus Charm. Can anyone tell me what the word 'homorphus' means? Aaryn sat in thought for a moment. What did 'homorphus' mean? She heard the "homo" and thought human, like "homo sapien". She had learned what Homo Sapiens where in muggle school. They were humans. The only thing she could think of was that it meant human transformation and third years didn't seemed advanced enough to do human transformation. So Aaryn was stumped. But she raised her hand anyway, because it didn't look like anyone else knew.

"Erm..." she said, "something to do with humans, since 'homo' could come from 'homo sapien'." She was hopeful, but she doubted she was right.

Dezi had slipped in right after Aaryn, practically following her and sitting down beside her. Shooting her a small smile, he mouthed a 'hello' and heard Celeste's question. Aaryn answered after a little while and he nodded a bit at her answer. She was partially right, or so he thought. Next, he took a stab at it and said, "Um. Homo might mean man... And morphus might mean like... morph. Or transform."

Shrugging, he leaned back in his chair, waiting to see what Celeste would say. He thought about how he and Aaryn had entered the room together. And how they both looked kind of flushed and out of breath. People would no doubt assume they had been off snogging or something. That wasn't the case, though. They'd both just been late to class.

I walked in quickly and sat down. Raising my arm I said out loud," Homorphus means change shape. According to one of Lockhart's book, he supposedly used this charm to defeat the Wagga Wagga werewolf but I see no proof of it since werewolves can't be reversed upon a simple charm no matter how complicated it might also be since the full moon must be gone and it takes days for any 'side effects' such as claws, fur and the need to not attack anyone must go away."

Adriana entered the classroom quickly behind the last girl and sat down in the first occupied chair. She hated being late, but from what she could hear she hadn't missed much yet. The Ravenclaw quietly unpacked her bag, ready for the day's lesson, and wrote Homorphus on the top of one piece of parchment.

The logistics of the lesson so far done, Adriana settled into her chair, elbow propped up on the desk with her head in her palm, and listened closely to what the student was saying. It sounds about right to me.

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

How Lovely.. Late.. Illy.. You stupid foolish girl.. You started the year off so well.. No missing or even being late for a single class. Now.. She was having a bad streak lately. Walking to the Charms class, she slowly followed in after Adriana. Looking around she found a seat far in the back, and began to scribble down whatever was written on the board. Homorphus. What did Illusion know about this.. Nothing she supposed.. Maybe it had something to do with transformation...

[nawdavid]

Whooops. David is late for class. At least though there wasn't that many people around. If there is, then he would be in a bigger trouble, not really.

David sat down and looked around the class. Everyone looks alright. No one looks confused like him,. The class has only began and he's already confused?

The Huffie skipped to the classroom. Bella has been improving on her whole tripping thing. Bella knew that she's a clutz but now, she moves normal. She hadn't fallen in over two weeks! Isn't that great?

Bella sat down and took out her partchment then she took out her quill. Charms. Bella like charms but she doesn't really know why.
