It was a cold November morning outside, but inside the Charms classroom it was...not warm, per se, but certainly not as chill as the late autumn temperatures outside. Too much warmth would not be conducive to the lesson he had planned for today.
What that plan was, though, you likely would not be able to guess when you enter. The classroom appears entirely ordinary. The desks were lined up in their proper rows, and the blackboard at the front of the classroom was blank.
Professor Edgecombe is seated at his desk up at the front, ready to greet students as they enter and grab a seat.
The lesson will begin shortly.

Asena was relieved, to say the least, when she stepped into the charms classroom. It was too often that these Hogwarts professors liked to opt for the unconventional classroom arrangement. And quite frankly, the theatrics often lead much to be desired, especially when it came to teaching. Her teachers at the Academy kept things simple. It was more effective. Less distractions for those who lacked attentive discipline.
This is a school, after all. Not a showroom. Someone ought to remind them of that every now and then. Asena is looking at you, Headmaster Winterbottom.
With this in mind, she wasn't feeling that same, incoming pressure headache when she passed by their professor's desk today. "Hello, Professor Edgecombe," she offered a polite nod before moving towards a seat in the middlemost section of the arrangement. Naturally, she planned to excel among her peers, but there wasn't any need to showboat by taking a seat at the front.

The light rustle of his cloak filled Harvey’s ears as he made his way to Charms. He was peering out of windows as he did so, noting that it was that time of year when the weather was making its way into that super chilly sort in preparation for Christmas. Speaking of! A grin spread across his face. “So, Neb,’’ he began casually. “Whose muscles do I need to get for you this Christmas?” He reached out with an attempt to poke his friend in the arm quite playfully. “I suppose Papa Curious and Grandmama Sterope would be super interested to hear this.” That smile turned into a mischievous one, the thought of Neb’s grandmother having a fit over such quite amusing.
The first thing the Ravenclaw noted when he stepped into the classroom was that it wasn’t filled with the usual warmth as others. How peculiar. “Hi, Professor.” Along with that greeting, Harv tossed in a two fingered wave before following his friend to take a seat. On his way there, he sent Asena a nod.

The weather was getting colder, and it also was making Aurora excited for the holidays. The temperature itself wasn't bothering her too much, as between wearing a jumper and using a few heating charms, she could stay relatively comfortable in the castle. Not to mention, a lot of the classrooms seemed to have their own heating charms applied, although it didn't seem the Charms professor had taken it into consideration, as she entered the classroom, finishing up a loose plait in her auburn hair.
"Good morning Professor Edgecombe", she said as she headed for her usual desk near the window, giving him a bright smile. Following it with nods toward Asena and Harvey as she settled in to wait for the lesson to officially begin. And/or for more students to arrive. Not to mention finding out what the lesson was going to be about. It was curious how there wasn't any hints present. Maybe there was a cloaking charm present or something, or maybe the professor just was choosing not to give any hints until the lesson properly started.

• HuffleStud • Knight of The Zodiac • Manly Beard-Grower • Cicatrice de Harry •
Nebula arrived for Charms class, and she had her cute Ravenclaw eagle jumper on for the cold, but was hoping it'd be warmer in the class. She caught up with Harvey right before they walked through the classroom door, "Shush up, Harv." Laughing before playfully shoving him. Thoughts about muscles in the morning did nothing for her academics. That's right, papa, she does take her academics seriously... in between all the fun. "But I could use your help with a project after class." She had plans but needed some help organizing everything.
As soon as Nebula entered the classroom, she saw Professor Edgecombe and smiled at him. "Hello, Professor." Before going over to take her usual seat and gave Asena and Aurora friendly waves . Nebula did Professor Feirgrund's presence, but her grades haven't changed, thankfully, since the term started.

Ah, the students were filing in now. Excellent.
Edmund got to his feet as the first of them entered. "Good morning, Miss Kaplan," he replied, returning a polite nod of his own.

Another polite nod was given in greeting to the next Ravenclaw who entered. "Good morning, Miss Barrington," Edmund said.

Another young Ravenclaw entered alongside Mr. Forsfelle. "Good morning, Miss Curious," Edmund said, giving her a polite nod in greeting.
Time to begin.
A casual flick of his wand closed the classroom door. Anyone who tried to sneak in late would not go unnoticed.
"So," Edmund said, ready to get right into the topic at-hand, "today our focus will be on the Ascension and Lowering Charms."
With another wand flick, words appeared on the board.
Quote:
Ascension Charm Purpose: Sends caster high in the air, also works underwater
Quote:
Lowering Charm Purpose: Causes target to move downward, and can be used as a gravity spell
"As you can see, the Ascension Charm allows a person to send themselves into the air, while the Lowering Charm does the opposite, allowing one to cause themselves or another target to descend downward.
Now, these charms are easy to understand, but they require great consideration and intention before you use either one. What aspects of your target do you need to consider before you cast?"

Harv was not about to shush up. At least not yet. Didn’t Neb know how much he enjoyed teasing her? Her obsession with muscles amused him. He staggered sideways for a few paces as the shove but he was laughing, especially since there was no harm done. A project after class? “Count me in.” Because… anything for a friend, right? Plus the thought of a mysterious project had piqued his interest, almost as though the entire thing had a pomaceous scent to it and was luring him in. Now that Harv was seated, he unpacked his books, quill and ink. He also occasionally watched his classmates file in. Which was how he saw Aurora’s nod. She got a grin in return.
And now they were getting into the lesson.
The Ravenclaw flipped open his book, ready to take notes on the two interesting charms they were about to work on today. As he wrote the details, the question was thought of silently. Only until he was ready with an answer did his hand go up. It was true, those spells seemed as if they would require a lot of consideration and intent, given that things could go wrong fast if used or cast incorrectly. “Weight, perhaps? If the target is heavy you might want to use less intent or force. If the target is on the lighter side you might have to use more.”

Asena offered polite nods to the others who stepped into the classroom, though she was relieved that no one tried to make small talk as she set her things out onto her desk. It wouldn't be long before class began and she wanted to start it off right.
Fortunately, she did not have to wait much longer. Asena was pleased that Professor Edgecombe didn't spend time on lengthy anecdotes before getting into the crux of the lesson. Being straight to the point was a lost art these days. And while she didn't raise her hand right away, she considered the question carefully before offering an answer of her own.
"If you plan to cast either spell underwater, you have to account for buoyancy." She hadn't ever seen a need to use it in the water herself, but perhaps it would make sense given the right circumstance. "In air, you're fighting against gravity, but underwater, buoyancy might assist an Ascension Charm, but may make the Lowering Charm more difficult." Then there was obviously the issue with using it on people underwater, buoyancy that changes with depth. That brought on a whole other slew of limitations, though she didn't care for a mid-lesson tangent and thus, kept the secondary thought to herself. Harvey had kept his answer short, she'd do the same (albeit, better).

Nebula considered the question, and everyone else seems to have gotten the point across. How big the object and its inner mass was. It was very much like learning about the planets and calculating its position and where it aligns among the stars. Not to get into a tangent on her thoughts, since she was in academic mode.
"Well... it helps to know where you want to raise and lower the object at. So the positioning is important. Especially if it's a fragile item like a vase, you don't want to just drop it from up high without control."
