Jackson wasn’t ready for the heat wave that was the Charms classroom. Was she baking cookies? Or baking the students? The festive sight was taking some time to get used to though, because seriously, last year had done some damage on his brain. Even though it had been months since that year ended, Jackson still half expected to stand until instructed. Luckily he snapped out of it and he awkwardly found a seat as he greeted the professor. “Good day, Professor Dopple.” He read the instructions and got started on his primary school looking name.

Quote:
Jackson Thomas
And folded it in half. Soon enough, the professor was practically YELLING her enthusiasm, which Jackson found disturbing at almost any hour, but he also had to appreciate it. Her question was an easy one, honestly, but Jackson figured anyone who found out they could perform magic would. He raised his hand, “Ma’am, I find Scourgify and Tergeo quite handy, and I hate getting sick, or being too uhm… cold.” He had had a pretty bad cold last year after the stress started tearing into him, and Pepperup Potion was in very high demand. Right now though, he was starting to sweat and he couldn’t bring himself to tell her it was way too hot.

Ah. Hiccups. Yea, those could be quite annoying. Raising his hand, he answered, “Well yea the most popular of course are drinking lots of liquid, holding your breath, getting scared… Those are what I was always told.” Personally though, he hated holding his breath. And he wasn’t jump scared easily. Sooo… Hiccups sucked. As the other students were answering, Jackson finally started looking around… and… Wait. Something was up here because he thought he had met the only Max Carden at Hogwarts this year but apparently he had been gravely mistaken. And mistaken. And mistaken again. He seriously couldn’t blame the Headmaster for his words and actions. Who had thought this was a grand idea?? Jackson felt his ears go a little red when he and the other leaders were called out for not doing much here, but honestly he just hadn’t noticed the size of the issue. He tried to keep quiet, noticing some students looking over at Derf. Seriously though, if Derf had told the Headmaster… Well, how could you blame the HEAD BOY for doing the HEAD BOY THING?!

Then the lesson was getting started and she was seriously telling them to purposefully give themselves the hiccups. WHAT? But whhhyyyy? He could have just ate a feast really quickly instead. At least that was a more fun and more deserving way to get hiccups. Well… at least it wasn’t sweltering in here anymore. Jackson started with the easiest solution which was holding his breath. Whiiiiich was just giving him a headache. He summoned some water and began chugging it until there was a trickle of water that escaped down his cheek. Jackson could chug water for daaays he was sure, but he wondered how long would get rid of hiccups because this was NOT cutting it.

Hoping to make life easy on himself, Jackson tried chugging his water again but this time he was interrupted by his own stupid hiccup. And this time, PLENTY of water spilled out. With a roll of his eyes, he pulled out his wand and cleaned himself up. He looked at some of the other ways they had listed to get rid of hiccups but… he really didn’t want to do any of them. Well if it was a solution on the board, then they had the professor’s permission to do it. That’s how it worked right? So now it was time for Jackson to do his famous never-been-seen-before cartwheels! He had done a few terrible attempts at this when he heard some questions going around that made him stop. NONE OF THESE WOULD WORK??? Some of them were quite obvious or seemed dumb to him, but he had always thought the water one helped a lot. He hadn’t even thought about the fact that these were magical hiccups though. As quickly as possible, he scribbled Singultus Fixus down and pointed his wand at himself, trying to gauge the range he had before actually hitting his own nose. It would be dangerous to do so?? What would happen if he accidentally booped himself on the nose??
