Right, the lesson. Oh man, the first question completely boggled Theodore's brain. So he just analysed it thoroughly, then raised his hand. "Is it where... you get into trouble for messing up in Charms class...?"

Discipline, ya know...

It meant getting into trouble, RIGHT? He was right. Oh goodness, was this teacher going to discipline them for their errors? Was he going to end up hung from the ceiling by his toes?


Meep.

Because he had a specific face for that.

His head swivelled slowwwly, like a creepy puppet, to look at Theodore when the other firstie answered. West found himself nodding a bit and wondered about adding that it was probably using CHARMS to DO the disciplining?

Or like, do something horrible like CHORES or something.

But no, there were other meanings of discipline, right? So the charms... area of .... expertise and study?

West put his hand up, eyes front again. "What about like, the stuff that is charms as opposed to other kinds of spells? Thinks that aren't transfiguring and aren't defense..." He trailed off, confusing himself, "But sometimes those things are charms too right? They're... its.... enchantments for GOOD." Yeah. That. He blurted that last part, pleased. "You do good things with charms. But you could probably punish people too, if you wanted, or if you were creative, or if you like, made them do stuff they didn't like, even if other people liked that stuff cos not everyone likes or doesn't like the same thing?" Just to cover the other meaning of discipline?

He sort of waved his hand about, like he was fingerpainting in the air. "Curse breakers have to be good at charms!" Yeah! That was everything he knew. Or everything he could be bothered repeating back. Now he was bored of giving an answer. He put his hand down. West looked around and began imagining that people's eyebrows were caterpillars and they were all in an army under his control.

Eyebrow!caterpillar!minions.

"I know that it has nothing to do with Transfiguration, as some might think at first, so we cannot conjure or change the form of anything. A charm can only change the colour of something, for example, or make it levitate."

Now, let's just hope that the professor would understand what Nora tried to say.

Thus, raising his hand up to answer, the boy said "Charms is one out of seven defined spell types. It focuses on changing what an object does and it can add to an object."

Yeah, a memorised answer.

Alyssa was caught off guard by the Professor's question. What the Charms Discipline was? She was sure that it had to do with Charms and duh...of course discipline which usually was related to laws and what should and not be done. So she decided to hazard an hopefully educated guess. Alyssa raised her hand and gave her answer.

"Professor is the Charms Discipline like a Code of Conduct we need to observe when casting spells. It's like an unsaid law of do's and don'ts like for example not to cast a charm on someone that might end up harming them?. Alyssa hoped that she at least made sense.

She decided to atleast attempt an answer...the professor would appreciate particpation right? Surely. With her hand in the air Hannah replied "Professor I think it is being careful when you are casting a spell. Focus and concentrate. With spellwork so many things could go wrong." She hoped she was on the right path.

After thinking about what a charm could be, he raised his hand and hazard a guess. "Isn't a charm like a little phrase that is supposed to do something. like 'rain, rain, go away' actually making it stop raining, or something."

Let's hope she'll accept it.
