Did the Professor want to see who could stick nametags? Sticking charms? Was this a test? Was the Professor already separating the O's from the A's?
Hmm.
Aspen decided that the Professor probably was, always was, separating out best students. But she didn't want to bring attention to herself by showing out with sticking charms. She wrote out ASPEN in big, blocky letters and folded her paper into the pocket of her cloak so that the name part hung out neatly. That way, no matter where in the room Aspen might be - the Professor would know her. She was Aspen.
HEY. IT WAS ASPEN.
West turned and waaaaved. HI ASPEN.
that's his cool big sister everyone!
He was being REAL good not talking, right?

She returned to the front of the class and beamed brightly. Everything and everyone was perfect.
"Everyone take your seat, after this point no talking unless you are answering a question. If you are answering a question be mindful to raise your hand. Do not speak out of turn I hate it." Slight frown.
"Now who can tell me what the Charms discipline is?"
After he'd sat down, West turned back to the front and sort of.... gaped at the professor. It was his thinking face. Or one of them. The one that also meant 'I don't get you, you're weird, and I have opinions on everything you're saying but I can't say them because I'm being good and following your rules'.
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.
