Alexis had an evil grin on her face, she liked fire, when she was 9 she 'accidentally' set her fathers office on fire when she had gotten hold of her grandmother's wand, she still had the scars from her 'lesson' he had given her once he had put the fire out.
Alexis got up from her seat to go a fetch a pillow, once she was seated again she set her pillow down on the desk, took out her wand and very confidently said the incarnation "Lacarnum Inflammare" almost instantly the pillow burst into flames Alexis sat back and watched the flames for a few seconds befor saying "Aguamenti!" the flames slowly died away, Alexis wished she could of let the pillow burn to ashes.

"Oh yes, you are a very lucky witch," Amelia said, somewhat honestly this time. Even though in truth, while she thought Josh was sweet, she could never see herself in a relationship with him. He just was too... too something. She swallowed at Lyra's next comment and from it, she knew that the girl wasn't happy with her being taken care of by Josh. "I can try to not let it happen again, but I cannot promise anything," she said, giving her a smile. She watched her go back to her seat to practice.


The hufflepuff looked casually over to Josh with his teasing remark. "Oh go fly a broom," she said sarcastically, before turning back to her charcoaled pillow. She had enough of fire for one day.

"its go fly a kite." he corrected her. he grinned as he looked at his pillow. he pretty much had it down so he just sat there and waited for the next instructions.

Agie put a serious face on. "Oh right. Doctor Josh knows best. He is very qualified at dealing with fainting hypochondriacs...I mean girls." She smirked nodding.

Agie gave Mia a dirty look and shook her head at Josh. After picking up her books she followed Lyra over to another table. "Let's practice together!" She said. "My aim isn't too great. So I might accidentally hit something, or someone." She laughed.

"I know what the saying is, but I was trying to make it more 'magical' and you ruined it," Amelia told him. She decided that she was done practicing and just sat there patiently waiting for the Professor's next set of instructions.

Lyra looked up as she heard Agie speaking again and moving to her table. "Oh let's do," she giggled as she was thrilled she was followed back to the table. "Well, there are certain people in the classroom that you are not to hit please, and then remember that the professor wants her room kept fire-free." She began to chuckle as she waved her wand to the pillow "Lacarnum Inflammare" she spoke as her eyes widened then quickly put it out to practice a few more times.

Agie sat down and got out her pillow. "That's right. We have to keep the room fire free." She smiled, while imitating Lyra and pointing her want at the pillow and saying "Lacarnum Inflammare". She watched the pillow light up in awe. "But, she never said anything about water." Agie's grin widened and she pointed the wand once more and said "Aguamenti". Water shot out of the wand, as it got rid of all the flames.

Lyra began to giggle as Agie seemed to be having more fun with the water end of the deal than the fire. "You know that could be quite a fun little trick to pull sometime," she giggled as her eyes shifted to Agie with a raised brow. "Lacarnum Inflammare" she spoke again as she watched the pillow go up in flames once more. "Hot! Aguamenti! Mwaha!" This was just too much fun for her..."Oops!" she spoke as her wand tilted up a bit with water still shooting out.

Agie raised her eyebrow right back at Lyra, she seemed to be understanding her quiet well. Agie smiled and she spoke, "Exactly what I was thinking." Agie wasn't even looking at the pillow when she spoke the incantation, "Lacarnum Inflammare" She glanced at the fire. "Some marshmallows would be nice." She laughed.

Agie ducked as the water squirted out and started giggling. "See it's sooo hard to control that water." She winked. "Aguamenti!!!" Agie called, pointing the wand at the pillow. Once the fire was out Agie started to have a 'coughing fit' and her wand was raised in the air. While Agie was apparently preoccupied, water flew from her wand and hit Amelia. "Whoops!" Agie said.

Oh geez! There went the water bit as Lyra watched with wide eyes, the aim of Agie's wand. "Accidental," she managed to speak as she set her wand down on the table, pressed her lips together and tried to hide her giggling. "I'm finished. No more for me. I think I have it down pat." Her eyes shifted to Agie once more, then looked arond the for the professor. "Lay...your...wand...down..." Lyra spoke thru the side of her mouth to make it look as though she were not speaking at all.

Agie noticed a Ravenclaw student clutching a burnt hand. Ouch! That's got to hurt. Agie decided to go over and help her out. Well at least try to help. She approached the girl. "I'm Agie. That looks pretty painful." She said glaring at the hand. "Maybe this will help.." Agie said pointing her want at her hand. "Freezing Argumenti!" Water shot out of the wand and ran lightly onto her hand.


Agie nodded and bit down on her lip. She had to look away from Lyra because if she made any eye contact with her, she'd fall into a fit of giggles. No one but Lyra had seen her. Agie quickly placed her wand on the table next to Lyra's and linked her fingers together. She was looking back at the professor waiting for further instructions.

Eliza couldn't stand the pain any longer and she could hold back the tears. As tears began to fall down her cheeks she noticed another student walk over. "Eliza." she said through the tears "It's." she choked out. The numbingly cold water dulled the pain slightly but she could still feel the pain. "Thanks." she said greatful that someone decided to try and help her out.

"You did that really well." Xana smiled at the little Hufflepuff girl sitting near her as she admired her casting. "I love a class that allows us to burn things up, don't you?" She grinned.

Xana chuckled at Dia's commentary, then decided she'd best get to work. "Accio pillow!" she said lazily, pointing her wand toward the front of the class. In a room full of firey pillows, perhaps she should've been more specific...another student's flaming pillow came zooming from the front of the class right toward her.

"Dammit!" she swore as the pillow, like a giant burning marshmallow, flew through the air. She ducked, cringing as the pillow sailed toward the back wall of the class. Great.... She quickly cast again, stopping the burning pillow in its flight and returning it to its original position on the student's desk. She re-cast her spell, hoping for better accuracy. "Accio new and unburned pillow belonging to no one." Crikey. Sometimes it just seemed it'd be easier to walk over there and get things muggle-style.

Xana placed her pillow on her desk and cast the first spell. "Incendio!"

The pillow helpfully cooperated, growing charred around the edges and catching fire nicely. She enjoyed the warm glow as flames consumed her pillow.

Hmm. Setting pillows on fire. Interesting....

Not having tried the Aguamenti charm yet, Gwen thought she'd give it a go before she tried to set anything aflame. Wand drawn, she cleared her throat and enunciated, "Aguamenti!"

A great stream of water came bursting out the tip of her wand, drenching Gwen. Spluttering, she glared at her wand.

"Well, looks like I've got that one down," she muttered.

Amelia was busy minding her own business waiting for the Professor to continue with the lesson when all of a sudden her back felt wet. Very wet. Like not the kind she got after exercising. She flipped around in her seat to find the culprit and a smirk formed across her face as she realized who it was. "Agie Brandywine," she said seriously. "Never attack while your opponent's back is turned. If you would like to duel me, then perhaps we shall need to request a meeting in the dueling arena after class."

She then gasped when the girl was helping another girl with a burn. "Oh my, you should never put freezing water on a burn, Agie! Are you trying to hurt the girl more? Lukewarm water will do just fine." she cringed at the thought.

Dia grinned over at Xana. "Isn't this the best class of term so far? Destroying pillows?"

Hitachi nodded at what Dia had previously said and without further ado, he casted, "Incendio!" at a random pillow in view. He let it burn for a while but after he came close to it, it smelled horrible. "Not only is it blazing hot in here, it smells horrible!" he said to Dia. He splashed the pillow with water and then himself.

"It only smells of fire to me...of course, when all fires are doused, then it'll really smell terrible. Wet, charred pillows. What fun." Dia smirked, summoning another pillow and setting it ablaze once more. The other pillow was merely a pile of ashes.

Eliza was in way too much pain to care anymore. All she wanted to do was go to the hospital wing and then go hide up under the covers of her bed. She stared down at her desk as tears continued to fall down her cheeks. After this she had no desire to play with fire again.

Agie pretended not to hear Amelia, but a duel sounded like fun. Her wand was on the table directly after Amelia was quirted and then she was immediately helping Eliza. Amelia couldn't prove anything.

Agie mouth dropped open in shock. "You definitely DON"T put warm water on a burn...that will just make it hurt and burn MORE. Running tap water, is what your suppose to use. " Agie said.

"No problem." She smiled, nudging Amelia's hand out of the way, she always had to butt in, Agie was doing perfectly fine without her. Agie held her wand close to the hand and said the incantation, "Cool Aguamenti!" She moved the water around making sure to cover the whole burn. "Uh Professor. I think Eliza really needs to get the the Hospital wing." She called.

Liz walks up to the front takes a pillow with her, back to her seat.

Incendo, she says oops, I mean Incendio, pointing at the pillow. Nothing happened. I know I've used this spell before, let's try again.

Incendio, and taps a corner of the pillow. Ah ha! It worked. Auguamenta!

Ummm, that isn't working. What was the spell again, looking at other students at work, she tries to listen carefully.

Amelia couldn't believe that the Gryffindor Captain was honestly ignoring her. She had totally squirted her with water; she wouldn't care but she just wished that some people would tell that truth. That's what irked her the most.

She gasped in shock. "I didn't say hot water, I said warm water. Like room temperature... you wouldn't want to put freezing water on either, because that will put the tissues into a state of hypothermia. You want the tissues to cool down but not excessively or too quickly." She informed Agie, but then just backed down and observed. "But do what you want... and don't come to me when there are problems with healing."

Xana noticed two girls-- one of them the Hufflepuff prefect-- arguing over how to help a Ravenclaw girl who had apparently burned herself. "Aguamenti!" she quickly doused her pillow and then conjured up a small jar from her first aid kit in her room.

"Excuse me..." she said softly to the Ravenclaw girl. She looked at her burn and winced. "That looks painful. I think this might help... It's burn-healing paste." She uncorked the jar of bright orange paste that smelled strongly of oranges, lanolin and ecualyptus, handing it to the girl with a smile.
