As opposed to her other two classes, Professor Mao-Macdougal actually looked relatively pleasant this morning. It might have had something to do with the fact that outside it was threatening to rain and there was a Flying lesson going on. You never knew, someone might get struck by lightning.

The real reason though, came to light. She was perched on her desk, her feet in their high-topped boots swinging lightheartedly, and she was smoking.

At the sight of the first student, Andi's pale face suddenly flushed and she stubbed the cigarette down onto her desk. There was a sizzling sound and the acrid smell of smoke drifted in the air.

She waved her wand and the smell was instantly covered by the musky scent of roses. Andi sighed and faced the eyes of her class - as if they mirrored her guilt. "Alright, first things first," she said in a husky voice, then she had to stop and cough hard. Her eyes were flashing furiously when she lifted her head.

"We're going to start on something simple today. The Summoning Charm. Easy and very useful." Andi sighed, and cleared her throat again. "We're going to try it wandless. So, wands on desk."
