Year Three ; Lesson Three

[foxxers]

Today would be a possibly difficult class for her third years. She would've wanted them practicing the charm on one another, but the hazard of doing that was too great, and she didn't want anyone getting hurt in her classroom. So, they would be using the charm on something else. While waiting for them to arrive, she looked out the window. It was a beautiful day outside, but unfortunately, they wouldn't be going out today.

Lesson Three
Year Three

Anapneo

[Tiffany Sparxx]

Early.

Ugh.Once again.For another class.Tiffany was early. She had to stop doing that. She should have taken longer on breakfast or something. Wait,she didn't even eat breakfast. Tiffany didn't sleep until around midday so she had nothing to do until then.She figured she might as well have gone to class. Charms. Not the greatest class in the world,but it seemed to have been getting a little more interesting.

Tiffany pushed open the Charms classroom door and peered in. Tiffany sighed .Empty. Just her luck.She made her way to the back of the room and glanced up at the teacher.She smiled. Well,it was more of a grimace,but it was something,right?Tiffany looked at the board.Anapneo. What....was that? She hadn't heard of the spell before. No doudt,she would be learning something today.

[foxxers]

Celeste rose her eyebrows, quite surprised. It had been awhile since she had a class where only one student showed up. Oh well. That just meant it would get by faster. Smiling at the Slytherin girl in the room, she said, "I guess it's just us today. You've got an open chance to get Slytherin some house points."

Grinning, she continued, "Alright, so, Anapneo. It's one of the many charms covered in the Charms textbook. Do you know what the word 'Anapneo' comes from?"

[nawdavid]

As David entered the classroom, he saw that he was realyl early, something that doesn't really happen that much. It didn't matter that much though because the lesson would start anyway...at some time. David sat down and looked around him.

[chloiewhite]

Chloie walked into the charms classroom and sat down. There was only Celeste and two other students there.

How awkward.

It seemed as though something had probably been asked or said, but the Ravenclaw had missed it. She pulled some parchment and a quill from her backpack, writing what was on the board and waiting for Celeste to continue.

[`friday augustine ross]

Bella skipped to class. She was feeling happy, happy and she didn't feel like she would just trip like usual. Nope. She just woke up feeling glad about things so, she entered the classroom happily. No worried whatsoever. So Bella sat down on a seat, but not before she said "Good Morning".

[jess]

Jessica stopped at the door of her charms class. There were only four people there and she was sure that there was more than four third years. Maybe everyone happened to get sick on that day and they couldn't show up for class. That could always be a reason.

"Good morning," she said quietly. She slowly walked into the basically empty classroom and took a seat next to a girl she had seen but had never met before. [Tiffany] Jess glanced up at the board and looked at what they were going to be learning about today. Anapneo. Wow, she had never heard of that Charm before. [/size]

[jt]

Fayt walked into the room. He wasn't too late, but then he saw the board 'Lesson 3' He looked shocked. He had missed a full lesson. He quickly sat down. He hadn't missed a full lesson before.

[nicolev]

"Anapneo means breathe in Greek," came the Ravenclaw's voice as she placed a book, quill and parchment onto her desk, quickly, so as to not disturb the lesson.

She'd heard Celeste's question as she walked in, and, having sat down as quietly as she could, waited for someone else to answer. No-one did, so the Ravenclaw stepped in.

Her blue eyes were ringed with black shadows, and Adriana resisted the urge to put her head on the desk and sleep, as she waited for Celeste to answer.

[Brie Alley]

Classes. Awh. Classes. But Charms. That made her smile. She hadn been really busy lately, and was sick. She sighed as she gathered up her wand, and her books. Got to have the wand. Of course. She walked down the stairs. Holding onto her books. She finally reached the class. And saw Mrs. Halliwell. She quickly smiled at her, and sat down. Brie was really tired, and was in the mood for Charms.[/size]

[Illusion Avery Rayne]

Illusion cursed to herself. Why did her late streek return....... How evil.... She was doing so well at the begining of the school year. Walking inside the Charms class room, she looked around. Bella and Adrianna were both there. Illusion mentaly chose one to sit next to Adrianna, since Illusion had not seen her in awhile.

[giannine]

Awkward. There were few students in the third Charms lesson as Gia entered the classroom. It was odd, seeing as there had been so many at the last class. Hm.

Taking a seat next to a Ravenclaw boy [Fayt], Gia looked at the board and pulled out her quill and parchment, writing down 'Anapneo'. Darn, Ms. Toes wasn't here. That was quite saddening =([/size]

[sweetjen51]

"Well it sounds like something to do with sleep but if I remember it helps someone to breathe. My aunt used it on me when I couldn't breath from what's called an asthma attack," I said walking inside the class and taking a seat, pulling my book out of my bag. "I'm sorry I'm a little late. I wasn't feeling well this morning."

[foxxers]

Looking at a Ravenclaw girl, Celeste smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Sullivan. That's correct. Five points to Ravenclaw." Then a Gryffindor girl came in late and said basically the same answer, but adding what the spell actually did. "Correct, Ms. Thorne. Five points to Gryffindor. So, if all of you didn't hear that, Anapneo is Greek for breathe. It's a charm that clears the airway of a person. Very useful to help if someone is choking and such."

Pausing, she took a breath and waved her wand. A dummy appeared in the middle of the room. The same dummy she'd used for her second years. Poor thing. It would work the same way as it had for her second years, but the third years would be doing a more difficult charm. "Because this charm would be dangerous to use on one another, seeing as though I don't want to force any of you to choke for the sake of learning, we will be using a dummy. All of you can go up to the dummy and say 'Anapneo' one at a time. Simply point your wand and say the charm. The dummy will be red when its airways are blocked, and it will turn green if you've successfully cleared its airways. Okay? So, you may begin!"

[chloiewhite]

Chloie walked up to the dummy, examining it. Now bright red, it reminded her of a big warning sign on muggle roads. She took a deep breath and pointed her wand right at its throat.

"Anapneo!" She watched, but nothing happened. Trying again, with more enthusiasm this time, she said, "Anapneo!" Beginning to worry, she tried a couple more times.

Still nothing. How embarrassing...

The dummy was still bright red, the color Chloie now imagined her face to be. She backed away from it, hiding behind a few people and deciding to wait a bit before trying again.

[nicolev]

Adriana smiled gently as she wrote down the charm and what it did, before getting up from her seat to revive the poor dummy. Watching the girl in front of her not get it quite right, Adriana smiled at her encouragingly, stepping up to have a turn.

She pointed her wand at the scarlet dummy, murmuring clearly, "Anapneo". After a moment, the red faded to a green; Adriana smiled again, glad that she got it first go, and stepped back, clearing the way for the next person.

[Kamy Shindana]

.x. Frustrated she was late, Kami slipped into Charms class and quickly wrote down the charm and all she'd caught from Celeste's last talk. Greek for breathing... Useful if someone's choking. Sounds good. A dummy was there and Kami assumed it was what they were practicing the charm on. Following a student [Adriana], she cleared her throat and muttered the spell. "Anapneo..."

.x. The dummy's light flickered green, but stayed red for the most part. Well, not bad for a first go. Stepping back for someone else, Kami sighed, still relieved she hadn't missed the entire lesson again.

[sweetjen51]

Smiling, I grabbed my wand and walked towards the dummy. This was one spell I knew well to do if I ever had an asthma attack and my aunt or anyone else was there to help me but thankfully I haven't had one in years. I pointed my wand at its chest and gave it an appologetic smile for some reason.

"Anapneo." I watched as the red started to fade away and turned green quickly. "Sweet," I walked back quickly to my seat.

[chloiewhite]

Watching the three girls behind her in line give it a try, Chloie began to feel a little better. Less embarrassed and determined to get the charm right, she stepped in front of the dummy.

"Anapneo." A strange greenish shimmer added to the red of the dummy, but then it disappeared. The Ravvie let out a sigh, straightened her shoulders, and pointed her wand at the dummy again. She cleared her mind of all other thoughts, picturing airways in the dummy's body slowing being cleared and filled with air.

"Anapneo!" She could tell the instant her spell hit, because a patch appeared in the middle of the dummy, and spread across the entire body. It was a bright green, and Chloie's face shined as she smiled.

It finally worked...

The dummy turned red again, and the proud third year turned on her heel, going back to her seat.

[Professor Sebastiania Bouvier]

Sebastiania walked into class. Her arms were around her books tightly as she found a seat to sit in. She was a bit late but didn't care right now. Seb had missed a lot of her classes and was trying to make them all up before she failed. Her parents would kill her if she failed. Literally. Sebastiania pulled out parchment and a quill and began writing.[/size]
