| | |  First Charms Class: Part 2
The first thing you notice as you walk into the charms classroom is that the tables and chairs have been pushed into a ring around the walls, creating a large open space in the middle the room. "Good afternoon class," a worn-looking Professor Branxton greeted he class. "Today we will continue to perfect the Diary Charm wand movement and then introduce the incantation. Please take out your wands and demonstrate the movement for me as I walk among you." | |

Ray took his wand, and started his wand motion, he made three circle, flicked his wand two times, than paused and finally made a final flick. He kept doing the same movement, till the movement became easy to Ray, he looked at the professor walking among the students.
"Professor can we get the incantation now?"

Thump listened to the instructions and pulled out his wand ready to begin. He watched the Proffessor out of the corner of his eye and copied his movements making sure to add the long flourish near the end. He stood there practicing nonchalantly wondering where this was going to lead to.

Antwone took out his wand and started to make a circle with his wand three times, flicked quickly twice, paused, then made one final and definite flick. He was satisfied with his wand movement and turned to Professor Doyle waiting for the incantation. But then he had a question.
"Excuse me, what is the use of a Diary Charm," Antwone asked with his hand raised.

Mallory imitataed the Professor and practiced the movement for a few more times. After a little more practicing and attempts later, she got used to the movement and was on her way to perfecting it. Okay, Mal...circular motion thrice...flickflick...aaaannndddd...flick...she thought as she instructed herself on what to do. | |

"That is an excellent question, Mr. Thomas," Professor Branxton replied as he walked between the students, nodding as Mr. Nixon performed the motion correctly. "Can anyone answer him?"

Leo Moretti looked at the tables that have been pushed into a ring wall, making him frown.
This was going to be interesting. Wasn't it?
Smiling at the Professor, he felt a little bit sad for him. He was still teaching while his daughters will missing. It must be horrible. Leo knew that if he had two girls, he'd go mad. And he'd do his best to go and find them.
Like what Professor Doyle is doing.
Sighing, Moretti took out his wand and prepared himself.

Amelia entered the charms classroom and noticed that all the tables have been pushed against the walls. She guessed that this must be a more practical lesson, and thus she placed her bag off to the side of the room and withdrew her wand. Recalling the previous lesson, she tried hard to remember the correct movements. She moved her wand hand in a clockwise motion, circling her wand twice and then flicked it three times, before pausing. After the pause, she gave two quick flicks and then raised the wand slowly up until it came back to rest.
"Did I do it right, Professor?" Amelia asked nervously.

Pauline took notes of the movement of the wand since she had accidently miss last class. She thought the wand movement was interesting and replayed the movement over and over again in her head waiting for the next thing to do. She had always loved Charms.

Chloe was still trying to get the movements perfect, she didn't want anything to go wrong when they were allowd to actually practice the charm, and then she finally got it right on the like 20th try, "yes, i finally got it down perfect, now i just need to learn the incantation." Chloe was so crazy about getting the movements right, she didn't even hear her fellow students talking. | |

Watching as the Professor repeated the wand movement, Ali pulled his wand out of his pocket and tried to imitate what Prof. Branxton was doing.
Three circles, flick, hold, flick, he told himself, whilst repeating the movements with his wand.
He then looked towards a fellow student as she answered the question. I should've known that, he thought to himself.

Ryder was trying to scribble down notes. He nudged Cassandra in the side and whispered towards her. "Do you know everything" He smiled and continued writing things he heard. | |

I have no idea thought Thump to himself as he waited for someone else to answer,hopefully a Ravvie. He couldent even believe that Prof. had the heart to teach while his children were running around the school missing.
Willing to try though he raised his hand "To make your diary unable to be opend by anyone but yourself" he attempted.

"Did I do it right, Professor?" Amelia asked nervously. "Not quite," he smiled encouragingly and repeated the motion while he explained. "Three turns clockwise, then two slow flicks, pause, and one long flick." Quote:

The diary can only be opened by speaking the correct password," Professor Doyle confirmed. "And only the person who cast the password charm should be able to turn the pages. A sort of double security measure. However, it should be noted that this charm can be broken so, if you have something you want to keep absolutely secret, you either need to purchase a special diary with added, unbreakable, security measures or keep those thoughts in your head. For every day use, this charm should suffice since students and most other witches and wizards would not know the counter-charms necessary to break it. So, make sure you remember the password you've chosen."
Professor Doyle wandered around the class a bit more before coming to stand in front of his desk. "Now we will learn the incantation. Clausaltus Obfirmo. It spoken during the pause between the two flicks and the long flick. Practice saying the words without your wand. Then, practice the timing of the incantation by moving your wrist but, without a wand.
"Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o," he enunciated.

Ryder wrote the incantation down on the paper in front of him. He then said "Clausaltus Obfirmo" hoping that he had said it right. His wand still inside his robes. He practiced the movement without his wand. | |

She pulled her wand out and took a notebook, using the wand movement, Three turns clockwise, then two slow flicks, pause, and one long flick she thought as she said "Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o."

Antwone tried muttering the incantation under his breath.
"Clow-sal-mus Ob-cirm-o." No that wasn't right.

Minister's Office | you live your life just once, so don't forget about a thing called love.
Christian mimicked the motion. In his head he repeated the movements. turn, turn, turn, flick flick, pause and flick. Doing that a few more times, he got the hang of it as though it were second nature. He paused for a moment, he wondered where his cat could have gotten to. He had been missing for a day or two. Maybe he's catching a mouse or something...he thought and went on to pray that the kitten wasn't getting himself in to trouble.
He listened to Professor Branxton say the incantation, saying the pronunciation in his head as well. After a few run throughs in his mind, he muttered the incantation to himself. His accent through the pronunciation off slightly, but he finally figured it out. Christian placed his wand down and practised the whole ensemble. "Clausaltus Obfirmo" he muttered while doing the hand movements. His timing needed a slight bit of polishing, but nothing a little work couldn't handle.

"Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o," he enunciated. Amelia nodded at the Professor and laughed silently at her stupidity for mixing which you do twice or three times. She decided to try the motions again before practicing the incantations. Her wand hand moved clockwise three times, then she gave it two slow flicks, and paused before giving it one long flick. "Whew! I think I got it this time!"
Setting her wand down on the table nearest her, she decided to practice saying the incantation a few times first, especially given her luck this year with charms. "Clas-alt-us Ob-firm-o"

Mallory nodded and whispered the incantation to herself. "Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o....got it...okay." She practiced the movement once more.
Her hand moved in a circular motion thrice and did two quick flicks. Now pause...Then she flicked it once more. Now what was it again? Glow salute of firmbo? no, that's not it...She tapped her head with the tip of her wand. Glow? no I think it was Close...yeah Clowsaltus....She racked her brain for the rest of the incantation.

Antwone tried to do it all together. He sent his wand in a circular motion three times, flicked twice, paused, then flicked once more and said, "Clausaltus Obfirmo!" But nothing came out the tip of his wand.
"Professor, is there something that's supposed to happen?" he asked with his hand raised.

Ponessa gripped her wand lightly and thought through the movements as she performed them. Turn....turn, turn...flick flick..pause....flick! After a few moments practice she said the incantation-no wand, of course. "Clausaltus Obfirmo!"
