| | Private Practice Room With the growing interest in learning how to cast various defensive spells outside of class time, Professor Hirsch has sectioned off another room just for this practice. A room not linked with any sort of class spells going on and a more guarded room than some of the others, save for his own office, of course.
This well lit, circular room is scarce of anything remotely normal for a normal classroom: meaning that you won't find any desks or chairs here. Instead, the room has been split up into a number of different sections where you can practice in the peace and privacy that the Dueling Arena doesn't provide. Want to practice in groups? The sections can expand to fit however many people you want to practice with. A number of dummies - surprised? - sits towards the back of the room, ready for you to practice your spells on. These could take the form of whatever you need it to be but be warned: they will NOT have the same effect. A dementor!dummy won't suck out your soul.
From time to time, Hirsch will hold practices in here in small groups outside of class hours. If you'd like to join in, you're more than welcome to. If not, be polite and try not to disturb anyone else practising in here. If you want to practice on your own here, you're welcome to do so. Just make sure to fix anything you break, okay? OOC: Sooo this thread is a thread in which Hirsch/I will be holding out-of-class classes for those wishing to learn something extra. This room is free for people to RP around in if they wanted to do some practice in a more private environment ^^ |

Ahhhhhh. Her home away from home.
Noelle entered the Private Practice Room with her Lion bag and gave a big, relaxed grin. She'd been tightly wound lately trying to figure somethings out, so when she finally had time to come here, she could already feel herself becoming untangled.
Heading into the room, she dropped her bag along the wall and pulled her water bottle from it. She pulled her long hair that needed a haircut into a ponytail as she went into the middle of the room.
First things first...
A little meditation.
It always helped. It was the first thing she did. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her arms in the arm and exhaled as she bent down to touch her toes. She did this a few more times before she was satisfied.
Pulling her wand out, she twirled it as a dummy moved from the wall slowly and came towards her. She gave it a confident smile. She wanted to practice the Levicorpus spell on it today. If she got the hang of that, she would work on Glacius Tria.
She pointed her wand at the dummy as it took full force at her. "Levicorpus!"

She pointed her wand at the dummy as it took full force at her. "Levicorpus!" James walked into the room, he thought maybe he could get his practice on one of the spells he always had trouble with. He still hasn't mastered a fully formed corporeal patronus charm yet and it was getting to the point of frustration. It wasn't like he was an unhappy bloke. In fact, he had tons of great and happy memories. He just couldn't figure out how they could concentrate on just one.
He noticed a girl already working on some defensive spells on her own. Cool.
Maybe he shouldn't bother her and decided he should mind his own.

The dummy had been coming straight at Noelle before she pointed her wand and said the magic words, "Levicorpus" She said it with power and confident. Something that she had when she was by herself. Not in front of others. The dummy was flipped and then dangled in the air by its wooden legs. Noelle smiled broadly and gave a little yip before raising her hand in triumph. It always felt good when a spell worked out.
Then she noticed she wasnt alone. Noelle looked over to her left and saw a boy she'd seen in classes coming in to work on some things. She rolled her shoulders, consciously aware of him.
It was crazy how if someone was looking.... she dropped her confidence.
The dummy went back to its original position. Noelle went back to where she had started and pointed her wand at the dummy again. She said the same spell "Levicorpus" But without the same confidence. The dummy moved a little but bumped into her, knocking her over.
Darn....

Finally Katerina was getting some time in the private practice room. With finals quickly approaching the Hufflepuff had been focusing on other subjects that took her a little more effort then others. Merlin knows that some of the other lessons could use improvements.
She headed into the practice room, relived to see that right now she was the only one there as of right now. She had her choice of dummies, and space. She found a dummy its see what you have there Mr. Dummy
She took a deep breath, suddenly the whole training room when dark. Katerina knew immediately what this Dummy was. Boggart. "Riddikulus" Please work, please work......

Declan did not run out of reasons to stress over.
Add Ancient Gods to that, a binding spell, preparing for NEWTS, finals, homework and the occasional head cold. He really needed to catch a break or at least a way to get rid of his stress. Defense Against the Dark Arts was not his best subject. He wasn't terrible at it. He wasn't failing the class but it did not come easy to him, not like other subjects. So he put in the time required to be a little above average. Lately, he wished he was more than that so he was trying to divine less and use his wand more.
There was a girl who seemed familiar (as many in school did to him) but he couldn't tell from glancing the back of her head. She was using a dummy to cast her spell. A boggart? Declan tilted his head as he watched from a distance, hands in his pockets. "How do you know?" he asked her loudly from where he stood. "That it is what you think it is." |

Kat had no idea if it had worked or not. Until the lights were back. Had it worked or was it even a boggart to being with. Hearing a voice, she turned around quickly to see who was there. Oh Hey. The blonde smiled, when did he come in. Had he seen the boggart make everything go dark? "It changes into what you fear most." She looked at him and looked away. "Boggart. Things got dark and I was alone and lost." She tighten the grip on her arm. She had never told anyone what her boggart was.
