SPOILER!!: Incantation

Gideon listened to the answers being given, including his sister's , admitting most appeared to be useful in some way. The common sense ones about being extra careful around the seeds and handling the seeds sticking out the most. But they were after all something one should certain had guessed would be needed...they were dealing with fire.

As Professor Bentley moved on and revealed the blackboard, the Gryffindor had begun to write even before he was told to. He wasn't a fan of doing steps to anything without writing them down. Last thing he needed was to forget it, or worse, realize something too late because of the dim lighting.

Quote:

1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).
5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.

His quill and similarly his wand down as he was finished, Gideon repeated what his head of house was speaking, the word foreign to him. And a mouthful.

"Chaudensis... "
Chaw-den-sis..."
"Chaudensis... "

"Chaudensis... Chaw-den-sis...Chaudensis... "

SPOILER!!: Wand Movement

The fifth year hoped it sounded ok and would work, his accent making it slightly different then what he was hearing around him. When the time was ready for the wand movement, Gideon picked up his wand to do exactly as he was shown, one smooth twist of his wrist.

Twist...twist...twist, bending at the wrist.

His mind repeating the motion in his thoughts as he moved his wand to agree with it, its tip aimed at the ground.

"Right so aside from the common sense, follow the classroom rules regarding safety... gloves, goggles etc. there are a number of things we need to consider when planting fire seeds. They are not particularly high maintenance, but there are a few crucial things to remember. The first, is temperature. You do NOT want to extinguish your seed using the Glacius Charm or by drowning it in cold water. Secondly, fire seeds do not require much, if any nourishment... so fertilising is not required." Seren paused to let this information sink in and plant themselves in the students minds. She had a feeling some of them would be pleased to know there wouldn't be any dung involved this lesson. "Now take a moment to read and note down these instructions, you'll need them soon enough," she said stepping to the side to let the light from the torches shine onto the blackboard. After waiting a short while for students to write down these notes, Seren stepped forward to continue the lesson. "Now before I get you to start the process, you first need to know how to perform the Chaudensis Charm. This will charm the pot to heat itself." "Please DO NOT take out your wands just yet, I want you to practice the incantantion without the risk of blowing something up first..." she said eyeballing them all. "Repeat after me... Chaudensis... Chaw-den-sis..." Seren observed and listened as the students practiced the incantation. OOC: Practice the INCANTATION ONLY. Lesson will resume in approximately 12 hours.

Everything sounded good to her. "Alright everyone, now we're going to practice the wand movement." She watched them all... that's right wands out. Keep with it! Holding her own wand in front of her she bent her hand at the wrist so her wand was directed at the ground. "Now you want a smooth rotation, remember to bend at the wrist, there is no need to move your whole hand... a little too much force and the charm could go horribly wrong. Please aim your wand away from your feet and DO NOT repeat the incantation as you do so... we are ONLY doing to wand movement at this stage, you can perform the two together in the next step." Seren continued to demonstrate by rotating her wand in a circular fashion, as if tracing a circle. ... OOC: Hey! Just practice the wand movement ONLY for the time being, the lesson will resume in approx 12 hours with the practical activity. Thanks!
