It was February, and Valentine's decorations adorned the castle, providing a cheerful distraction from the chilling weather. The classroom also had some decorations, thanks to some helpful students from a previous lesson. A tarp was magically secured to the floor near the window, preventing anyone from lifting it and peeking underneath. Professor Feirgrund stood by the table that held a box. The blackboard behind him instructed everyone to take a seat and not to touch anything yet. What could they be doing today? Feel free to speculate with your friends until the lesson begins.

Id LOVED love!
This was why the Valentine’s decorations made him happier than ever and it was with this extra bounciness that he stepped into Charms classroom with Paul {who wasn’t bouncing, by the way; who simply had his head down}. Needless to say Idris was quite delighted to find that the room too was lovey-dovily decorated. It made him want to squish Paul, and of course, it made him want to throw himself at his Dad E.
The Gryffindor’s brain went “DAD E, DAD E, DAD E!!!” the moment he saw the man. No one would know the fierce internal struggle he had to put up with which eventually quelled his instinct to launch himself at him.
“Hi, Professor!” He threw the tarp and box curious looks before bounding off to have a seat. Next to Paul obviously.
Xerxes entered the Charms Classroom and took immediate notice of the Valentine's Day decorations all around the room. He thought they were.....cute. But Valentine's Day wasn't really his thing.
He found a seat right at the front of the classroom (his usual spot) and began to unpack his school bag. He took out his wand and "The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 1". He then turned back to the front of the class.
"Good Morning Professor Feirgrund. How are you today?" he asked, smiling politely.

Vivienne entered the classroom with a lavender scarf and quiet curiosity, amidst the heart-shaped garlands and glittering rose-charmed candles. She sat two rows behind Xerxes, noting his punctual neatness. Despite not being into Valentine's, she appreciated the effort and the mystery tarp. Vivienne's voice was airy but warm, and she gestured towards the covered corner near the window, expressing her appreciation for the effort.
A well-worn copy of The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 1 was placed on the desk, and a polite nod was given to Feirgrund. She inquired if someone had tried to charm the box to sing yet and sat straight, her eyes flitting back to the tarp.

Stepping into the classroom, Aurora wasn’t surprised to see the Valentine's Day decorations. They were throughout the castle. It was cute and she loved love, but at the moment her attention was more drawn to the tarp and box. She was definitely curious now.
”Hello, Professor,” she said cheerfully before greeting all of her classmates with a friendly wave. Smiling, she took a seat on the other side of Id. It was cute how enthusiastic he was about the holiday. She wondered if he and Paul had any special plans for it.
Stepping into the charms classroom the fourth year snake boy eyed all the Valentine's day decorations, and sighed heavily. Could he retreat out the door from whence he had come? Probably not since Prof Feirgund had obviously already noticed his presence. "Hello Professor!" JT greeted with a polite nod, and small smile as he made his way over to a vacant desk after also greeting all his fellow peers with friendly waves. If Iris just came to class maybe he could make up for saying, and doing everything wrong lately when being around her. Girls were hard to interpret. JT noted the tarp and box up front with curiousity but he kept quiet, and put up writing material on his desk.

"Hello, Master Grunt." Feirgrund smiled softly, such urges he had to fight when addressing his own clan.

The polite nod was returned just as well. Though Miss Awning seemed well-equipped, it seemed as though she was missing something important on her.

"Hello, Master Forsfelle." Ean said. Though they didn't mention it, he could sense some hesitation on their part. But of what though, he couldn't tell, but hopefully they'd relax soon. An active session was in the works.
Eventually, it came time for the lesson to begin. Feirgrund waited as the last set of students arrived before he gently tapped the board rapidly for everyone's attention.
"Good day, everyone," He addressed the class once the chatter died away. "I know there's temptation in finding out what's under the tarp and in the box. We will get to that in due time." What good was a lesson without a bit of suspense? "But first, one at time, please share what is your favorite food or object and why too much of it can be a bad thing?" There were usually no wrong answers or reactions here... within reason.
OOC: Welcome, everyone! You can react/answer to either question depending on your character's background. Class has started, so new posters can join as if they’ve been here to avoid IC late arrival consequences. The next post will be around 24 hours from now.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Dad E was one of those persons that had the warmest, cosiest smiles! That only made Id want to suffocate him in a hug even more but that would have to wait. It wasn’t long before his classmates began arriving and among them was Rory. Id smiled broadly when he saw her, and of course he was just as happy she chose to sit next to him. Oh, and there was JT! He got a little wave.
With the lesson starting, the Gryffindor picked up his quill, poised to take all the necessary notes. Dad E was so right: he was so curious about that tarp and the box. With the question asked, Id raised his hand promptly, the one holding the quill. “Nesquik drinks!’’ came his bubbly response. “Either hot or cold.” And exactly as Paul made them for him. “But it’s sugary enough to make me want to bounce off the walls if I have too much of it, especially at nights. It makes falling asleep difficult.” But the man knew that already.
Xerxes thought about his teacher's question. He then raised his hand and said, "My favorite thing is my wand. It is my constant companion in the magical world and has never let me down. As for why too much of it could be a bad thing.....I suppose a person could become too dependent on magic and not learn useful skills that would come in handy if ever they found themselves without it for a time. We never plan on losing our wand, but one never knows what could happen."
Xerxes thought about how terrible it would be to lose his wand. He would kind of be lost without it. He couldn't really cook for himself or survive in the Muggle world. But after all, he was only 11 and therefore had plenty of time to learn both magic and life skills too. He wasn't overly worried about it, but still made a mental note to pay more attention in Muggle Studies.

Relaxing against the back of his seat the fourth year snake boy twiddled his thumbs in his lap and considered the first question. An object or favourite food that could be both good, and bad for him. Furrowing his brows in thought JT eventually raised his hand to say to Prof Feirgrund as well as his surrounding peers. "I really like jelly slugs. There is lots of sugar in the jelly slugs, and too much sugar is bad for your teeth. Also if eat too many chocolate bars i get more acne spots in my face and that's no fun."

Sugar definitely was too much of a good with kiddos. Such memories were amusing and concerning at the same time, though Feirgrund kept his composure, nodding, "It can certainly affect one's sleep pattern, and their teeth without rinsing immediately after consumption."

Ah, yes, a wand was a worthy object to admire, "This is true. Overreliance on a wand can make one feel less than without it by their side. Another way is with the Elder wand, having its value be so great that others would murder for it." An excellent answer.

Sugar was a lovely answer. It was good and bad all at once. "Yes, this is true. Bad for teeth and arguably one's complexion." There were other factors that contributed to acne that chocolate amplified.
"Excellent, everyone." Addressing the class, "Often, when it comes to having too much of a good thing, the effects can not only affect preferences but also create havoc on the body.. Which briefly brings us to our previous lesson last week on the Doubling Charm and Curse. The Double charm, was used on these muggle erasers that are in this box."
Feirgrund, took the box, removing the lid before setting it down onto the first student's desk he approached. "Go on, take a handful of the erasers and then pass the box to the person next to you." There were many different coloured erasers, some short enough to fit on the end of a pencil, and the longer shaped ones. "There were originally only just a handful, and have been duplicated. Today, instead of working on the Doubling Charm again we will be focusing on the charm that is effective against the Doubling Curse."
Feirgrund then tapped the board with his wand to replace the previous instructions with the charm.

"The Subtracting Charm, is used to reverse the effects of the Doubling Curse. Where once the object has been touched, it duplicates itself in a fashion that if you happen to brush against the duplicates leaves you in a dangerous situation. An easy counter, although quaint is the Subtracting Charm." He took one of the erasers setting it down. "Those who take Arithmancy or any previous Maths course in their primary school days should be familiar with subtracting. With your wand you draw a short line, resembling the minus sign over the item. If it's done correctly on a duplicate, it'll disappear with the incantation, Oduzimanti." All together. "O-doo-zee-man-ti" Waiting until the class repeated the pronunciation.
"Excellent. Now, you'll be attempting the charm on the erasers before we get to the main task. These are all duplicates, so if done correctly, they will disappear." Before adding, "NEWT students, you will practice it both audibly and wordlessly. You're more than welcome to work with a partner if you need further assistance, but keep the chatter to the task at hand."
OOC: Great responses everyone, and thank you waiting! Now you'll be practicing the charm on the erasers first after you grab some. The main activity will begin with further instructions in at least 48 hours from now. If you have any questions feel to ask.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
There were quite a few interesting answers to that first question. Who knew that there could be so many seemingly innocent foods or objects that could be bad when used too much? Id bit back a giggle; he suspected Dad E was thinking about all the sugary adventures involving this young Lion and his siblings.
Oh! So that’s what’s in the box! One mystery was solved!
As directed, the fourth year took a handful of the erasers from the box Paul passed him, making sure to get at least one of each colour and one of the bigger ones. He then passed the box to Rory. With that out of the way, Id began making his notes, thinking what a nifty Charm this was especially in the event he had the misfortune to to come across a Doubling Curse. Only then did the practice commence.
“O-doo-zee-man-ti!” What a doozy of an incantation! “O-doo-zee-man-ti! O-doo-zee-man-ti. Oduzimanti.” That wand movement? Possibly the simplest one Idris had ever had to learn. This too was practised a few times.

Ah. So the box was full of the erasers from last lesson. So at least that mystery was solved. Though it wasn't the most exciting thing, it did make sense for them to work on the opposite of duplication for this lesson. And she was still excited for what they would be doing for the main activity. Those were always fun. And then she would know what was under that tarp.
With a smile, she took the box of erasers from Id and made sure to take a decent handful before passing the box along to the next student. That done, Rory wrote down the information about the spell in her notes. It seemed simple enough and she was sure that she would have the spell down no problem.
"O-doo-zee-man-ti... O-doo-zee-man-ti... O-doo-zee-man-ti..." She repeated the incantation until she felt that she had the hang of it. "Oduzimanti." The wand movement was so simple that she didn't even bother practicing it more than a couple times.
The mystery of what was in the box was solved. The box contained erasers. As instructed JT took a handful of erasers from the box that he had been passed from Rory as directed before passing it along to the next student. Who knew that many foods and objects could bring both good and bad to the user or eater.
Next, after writing down the notes on the charm on his parchment JT got to work on practicing the incantation for the subtracting charm which to him sounded like a mouthfull when from Prof Feirgrund had prounounced it. "O-doo-zee-man-ti... O-doo-zee-man-ti... O-doo-zee-man-ti..." JT practiced in a low voice to himself over and over. He also practiced the simple minus wand movement in the air with his now unholstered wand. When he felt he got the hand of it JT focused on the first eraser tracing the small line in the air over the eraser as he casted in a firm tone "Oduzimanti!" Watching the eraser dissapear he gave himself a silent thumbs up before trying to erase the remaining four erasers too. He glanced around at his peers work before refocusing again and in quick succession he made his remaining erasers disspear. Raising a hand JT asked "Professor Feirgrund does the subtraction spell work best on small objects like erasers or could it work on big objects too?"

Reason: queen of missing the titles
Xerxes grabbed an eraser from the box and then passed it onto the next student. He prepared himself to cast the charm by reviewing the incantation and wand movement necessary for success.
When he was adequately prepared, he took a deep breath and then uttered “ Oduzimanti”. At the same moment, he traced a small line (resembling a minus sign) above the object he intended to subtract.The eraser disappeared with a tiny ‘POP’. Xerxes smiled widely and looked around the room, delighted at his success.

Once Aurora was finished practicing the spell, she was ready to move on to using it on the erasers. She chose one of the erasers at random. ”Oduzimanti,” she said while drawing the small line over the object. It disappeared immediately and she was pleased with herself. It wasn’t a hard spell by any means, but it was always nice when she managed to succeed with something on the first attempt.
Aurora repeated the spell over all the rest of the erasers in turn until she had managed to remove all of them.

Raising a hand JT asked "Professor Feirgrund does the subtraction spell work best on small objects like erasers or could it work on big objects too?"
"Good question, Master Forsfelle," Ean said. "In theory, depending on the caster's skill, one can use it on duplicated objects as large as a statue when supplemented with Maxima," Adding, "The downside of course is the heavier the mass of the object, the greater the energy is depleted from the caster. But for the regular Subtracting charm, at best, you could deplete up to the size of a duplicate pillow." Alas, it was time to begin the main activity.
"Excellent, everyone." Addressing the class, "Do not worry if you haven't managed to subtract the erasers. You are welcome to continue working on them as the board will keep the information for the duration of the lesson." Waiting until everyone's attention remained on him before he walked over to where the tarp laid. "Beneath this tarp is where the main fun will begin," With a couple of strokes with his wand, Feirgrund then removed the tarp reveal a ball pit. "In the spirit of the upcoming holiday there are some valentine-heart shaped boxed filled with some treats usually found in Honeydukes." Compliments to them. "The main objective is to use the Subtracting charm to deplete the amount of balls in the pit. You could dive in to try to find the box, but it'll be hard to see what you collect without using the charm. Do your best at depleting some within your vision until you've gotten a box."
"Once you're ready, go on, jump in, and have a ball!" Feirgrund smiled, "And you are free to work with a partner." Especially, if the younger ones might need help with removing the charms.
OOC: Thank you waiting, everyone! You now have the opportunity to use the Subtracting Charm in the ball pit to help you find the box of sweets. You're also welcome to continue working on the erasers if unsuccessful. If you're just arriving, it's okay, you can join in as you've always been here. The activity will last around 72 hours from now. If you have any questions feel to ask.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Id practised the incantation a few times more with gusto before deciding he was ready to move onto the real thing. It was a pity he had to get rid of most of the erasers… but maybe Dad E would let him have any that’s left over? “Oduzimanti!” With an infinite amount of confidence, Id drew the ‘minus’ sign over a purple eraser. It didn’t disappear which made him squint at the object in mock disapproval. “Oduzimanti!” he tried again, focusing doubly on the little eraser as the wand movement was done. In an instant it was gone, leaving the Gryffindor revelling in the delight he felt. The steps were repeated, the process becoming easier as he progressed until each eraser vanished.
It was clear. This was an easy-peasy spell for him!
A good thing because they were moving on, where use of it would be required once more. And… OHEMGEE!!! It was a ball pit!!! Id suddenly had the vision of himself diving in just for the fun of ‘swimming’ around. Sadly that was not an option. But vanishing the balls could be fun! So Id got right down to the task. “Oduzimanti!”
See? Fun! Because it was satisfying to watch the balls go bye-bye.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
OOOOH!!!
It was a ball pit! And she would be searching for candy! Aurora perked up in excitement. This was going to be FUN. She was tempted to just swim around in the pit and search for the candy that way, but of course she was supposed to use the spell to vanish the balls. That would be fun too, so she was not at all disappointed. Plus either way she still got candy. She loved her candy, and she liked to tell Uncle Adi that it was his influence on her. She had known him for her entire life, so it made sense.
As soon as they were told they could start, she jumped right into the ball pit. And she couldn't help but have some fun in there before she got to work. She didn't think that Professor Feirgrund would mind. She didn't waste too much time before getting started.
“Oduzimanti!” She smiled as the ball vanished. She was sure that she would manage to find some candy before the lesson finished. She was determined.
Xerxes was excited to play in the ball pit. It brought back memories of his childhood and birthday parties gone by. But before he could jump in the ball pit and look for boxes full of Honeyduke's sweets, he had to "subtract" some of the balls to make more room.
Xerxes pointed his wand at the balls and very clearly, "Oduzimanti!". A few balls disappeared with a pop. He did it again; a few more balls disappeared. After repeating the process a few times, the corner of a small box came into view.
"Ooooooooo. AAAAaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Xerxes said admiringly. "I think I see one." Xerxes excitedly. With reckless abandon, he jumped into the pit and retrieved the box.
After pulling himself up out of the pit, Xerxes opened the box to find several deluxe sugar quills and an exploding bon bon.
"WOW!" he said, amazed at his own luck.

The class seemed to be progressing quite well. The students were working diligently the charm. Some were still on the erasers, some moved on and worked on the pit from the outside, and then some jumped straight into the pit. Professor Feirgrund gave a small smile and nod in approval as walked around to make sure everyone was doing their best. Eventually, he checked the time and.., goodness, it was near the end of the lesson at last.
Feirgrund performed the sonorous charm, "Attention, everyone!" whilst standing at a distance far enough to not pierce any nearby student's ears. "It is about time for the lesson to wrap up. Congratulations to those who were successful with using the charms. You have a few minutes left to finish up, but don't fret if you're still learning the charm, you'll still get credit for your attempts here. For homework... review the Doubling Charm and then practice the Subtracting charms on some duplicated items. If you have a free period after this class, you can stay a little while longer in the ball pit before heading off." With all that said, "Class is dismissed!"
OOC: Thank you, everyone, for stopping by! Class is over, but there's still time to wrap up, post your character's departure, or even have one catch up post if needed to gain credit. Instructions for the activity are found here. The thread will officially close and lock up tomorrow night.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Id had a feeling he had been channelling his Dad E for the duration of this lesson because the balls in the pit that he aimed at getting rid of were indeed doing that: they were vanishing without issue. Could a fourth year be more pleased? Nope. Did he really want to hunt for the goodies hidden? Also no. He looked around at Xerxes jumping in to grab one of the boxes but the object wasn’t what he was interested in.
THAT… the jumping in was what he wanted to do.
The Little Yellow Lion Hood re-holstered his wand, took a look in Dad E’s and Paul’s directions then dove among the balls as smoothly as a professional diver. The objects made loud sounds as he landed among them but that wasn’t a bother to him. Id began to ‘swim’ through the pit.
WHEEE!!!
What fun!!!
As for class being dismissed? The messaged was completely missed so naturally it meant he would be hanging back for a while longer.

Aurora was having so much fun trying to find some candy that she wasn’t paying much attention to the time or even thinking that the lesson might be finished soon. She was still tempted to swim through the ball pit and see what she could find, but instead she was doing things the proper way. At this point she felt like she was quite the expert when it came to the spell because she had managed to disappear quite a lot of the balls from the pit.
She was starting to worry that she wouldn’t be able to find the candy, when she spotted something. Excitedly she reached in and retrieved the one of the boxes. She had managed to finish the activity, and just in time too because shortly after they were told the lesson was going to be wrapping up. Too bad, because she wanted to have some more fun in the ball pit.
