"Now those of you from last year will remember the way we got the spoon to move last year..."

She pointed her wand toward the jewelry box and said, "Locomotor jewelry box!" With her wand, she guided the box exactly where she wanted it to go. It slightly grazed Duncan Fletcher's head, zoomed by Carr Jones' head, and finally came to a stop on Lori Bristol's desk. "This is the spell I want for you to practice on several different objects--remember, one light, one medium, and one heavy. You'll need to have this movement down pat for the activity at the end of class."

While some part of him was beginning to see where she was going with the whole charms-and-cowboy-hats thing, it wasn't enough for him to consciously know it. Kellen distracted himself from wondering what was to come and rooted around in one of the provided boxes, emerging with a marker, a picture frame, and a clunky old alarm clock. Light, medium, and heavy: check.

Deciding that he'd rather start with the heaviest item first, Kellen swished and flicked his wand at the alarm clock and intoned, "Wingardium Leviosa!" Once it was a few feet in the air, he added, "Fixate!" He was tempted, oh yes he was, to 'accidentally' locomotor the alarm clock into a certain Hufflejock's head, following the path of the professor's own example, but decided that probably wouldn't end well. Instead, he sent the clock ambling along in the air, completing a lap of the class with it before guiding it back onto his desk.

Once the clock was resting beside the other items, Kellen's attention moved to the medium one. He'd have to be careful not to use too much magic, or it would probably shoot straight up in the air and smash on the ceiling.
