Right enough. Jared gave the girl a bit of a smile.

"Good job, Penny."

The only change was a growing feeling of stupidity. She must look very silly just staring at her desk and her wand pointed at it with nothing at all happening.

She sighed.

The way some of the students were behaving, one would think they'd never tried a nonverbal before.

...

Light-bulbs, Descoteaux. Maybe they hadn't.

Jared cleared his throat. "The standard method of learning to cast a spell nonverbally is first learning to cast it verbally." That sounded right enough. Considering he was still trying to get the hang of this imparting-what-you-know-to-a-bunch-of-students thing. "It's possible to cast a nonverbal without ever having cast its verbal variant, but - more often than not - far more difficult than it is to cast the former after having mastered the latter. Once you've learned how to cast a spell verbally, casting it nonverbally requires nothing more than focus and concentration. Choose your target, clear your mind, envision the outcome, think of the incantation and perform the wand movement."

Should he mention the bit about it all being much harder than it sounded?

...

"It can take a few tries."

Just saying.

She tried to stand up, but slipped. The floor is still cold, and slippery.

In the middle of sweeping over the classroom, Jared's gaze came to a pause on the first year who had slipped. "Alright there?" He asked, helping the Hufflepuff to her feet.

"It seems most of you've learnt how to cast the charm, so we'll move on to the next part of the lesson. If you get up, you'll see that there are coloured, uneven panels on the floor and in the surroundings." Now. Uneven panels coloured red, green, blue or, yellow. The house colours. "Glisseo your shoes, or grab a pair of skates from here and put them on -" He waved to a pile of skates next to his desk. Fish some out, kids - "Because skating around will make your task easier. Your task is to look around the classroom, spot the uneven panels that bear your house colour, and cast Glisseo on them. The panels are charmed, so casting Glisseo on them will flatten and de-colour them. The first house to de-colour all their house-coloured surfaces, gets fifteen points."

OOC: If your charrie hasn't gotten the hang of Glisseo yet, you can include them mastering it in your next posts. Instructions for the activity? Students get up = chairs banished to the back of the classroom. Each house is supposed to have the same number of coloured panels but, in actual, I'm not keeping count. So this isn't about which house is the quickest or most active. Just about... which house is being most awesome? Having the most fun? That sort of thing. ^.^

The floor/ rink is charmed, as mentioned in the first post, so no one is going to get hurt even if they fall. Okay? Okay. This activity is worth eight house points. Minimum of five posts = eight points. They don't have to be super long or super detailed. Just.. good or creative RP'ing. I'm going to leave this lesson open for thirty-ish hours or so. If you have questions, you can PM or VM me.
