Lorraine walked around the Great Hall watching with anticipation as three students stepped forward to try their apparition. "Excellent job, Miss Windsong," the brunette nodded in approval at the Ravenclaw who had forgotten to spin the first time but successfully apparated on the third try.

"And you as well, Miss Noir," Lorraine commented, her hazel eyes taking note of the young woman successfully apparating for what appeared to be the first time (despite her anxiousness). "Nice job." She tossed a chocolate frog to both Qaz and Lyra.

Of course, she stood up and left the safety the desks provided. Suddenly there were hoops placed in front of each one of the students. Including her, of course.

Alright, then, splinching didn't hurt. So, no need to worry. According to both the Ministry ladies.

Destination. Clearly inside the hoop, where else? Determination. Well, that was taken care of, she was a Huffie, and Huffies were determined. Deliberation. That's the problem. OWLs and Quidditch occupied her mind. She'll have to blank it out for a moment, because now she had to focus.

Thinking about doing a proper Apparition was exhausting. And she thought she had it, but when she turned on the spot all she managed to do was...precisely that. Turning on the spot, because the hoop was still in front of her.

Nothing to be concerned, right? She's never done that before. Let's try it again. And by that she should've said "Let's try again to stay in the same place" because she didn't move. This was...annoying.

Clearly, she was lacking the Determination to do so. Ironic, being a badger and all.

After a few ~~lot~~ failed attempts, and what seemed like hours, she...DID IT! She was standing in the center of the hoop. Her face lit up. She'd done it! Then why was her hand in aching a bit...wait, no, not her hand, her finger, the index finger of her right hand...it was burning...and then she looked down to it...

A scream. And the bloody tip of her index finger. "MY NAIL!" she exclaimed, Kaika had never felt so stupid before, she looked back to find the silly nail floating in mid-air. Now what?

But it was the scream that startled Lorraine as she looked over towards the Hufflepuff Captain who started shouting about her nail! Which for an athlete seemed quite odd for her - a captain - to be on about bloody fingernail, since she'd broken lots of nails in quidditch before.

"Relax Miss Lockhart," she told the young Hufflepuff, but Angelica had arrived at the girl's side first and seemed confused about what to do for a splinched victim. "It's only a finger nail. It could be worse," she reminded her, recalling her basic first aid knowledge.

Spotting the fingernail hovering about three feet from the ground - which was something so small that only a trained ~~ex-~~seeker could have spotted - Lorraine held the injured hand of Kaika's with one hand as she used her right hand to flick her wand for the nail to hover over towards the index finger, and onto the formerly bloody nail bed which she cleaned with a simple antiseptic charm. "Antiarius Ontin" she murmured non-verbally, still holding Kaika's hand steady as a small amount of ointment squirted onto the nail. "Inurio Bani" Lorraine finished with wrapping a bandage on the fingertip of the captain. "There there. All better now." She smiled comfortingly. "By evening you could take the bandage off."

Instinctively looking down at her watch, Lorraine gasped silently upon seeing the time. Walking back up to the front of the Hall, she whistled once to get their attention. "Sorry class, we're now out of time but I want to thank every single one of you for making our re-introduction of Apparition Lessons back into Hogwarts educational system a success. For those of you not yet of age, it would be wisely recommended that you take a refresher course at the Ministry when you do become of age. There is a written exam that you all have to complete and when you do, we will send you a certificate of completion for the course and exam. If you bring this certificate to the ministry at the time of your test, then you could take the Apparition test and bypass the course administered at the Ministry, as well as receive a 10% discount on the cost of the test."

With that, she flicked her wand again and a single parchment floated to each student in the room.

"You are all dismissed now and thank you. Good luck with your finals and have a great summer," Lorraine finished, walking towards the exit doors of the Great Hall and waiting for the students to leave so she (and Angelina) could reset the Hall back with the tables.
