'hmmmm.... well thats a pretty easy question' she thought to herself. Evie had read about charms recently and was positive about her answer. She raised her hand and said politely. "Well professor, a charm is a spell that can cause a person to act unnaturally, or their appearance to be changed or altered by the person who cast the spell , the same goes with objects it can make them also change or do something that objects can't or aren't supposed to do." 'I wonder if that made sense.'

Heather raised her hand, wanting to answer. She did promise herself to be more participative in class. "Uhm...professor...most descriptions of what a charm can go either way like...a charm is something believed to bring good luck...or...a charm is attractiveness to something...but, i would think that the proper definition would be that a charm can be uhm....a verbal formula to have a magical force...casting spells for a use, something like that...like charms can be used for protection from something thought dangerous." Wow, that was a handful to answer. And that was a first Heather didn't stutter much!

Hugo's hand shot up. This was easy. He had done this on his exam last year. "A Charm is an enchantment that causes to change the way an object behaves. It's is a sort of spell," he said and nodded, looking towards Eino to get his approval of finally doing something in this class.

Thank Merlin class had finally started. She would just focus on the lesson and not let anything bother her. She could deal with it later.What is a Charm? She thought about it and flipped though her book not really looking for the anwswer there. She raised her hand. "An incantation when said adds or changes an objects properties. Termportaryly. " Mmmmm Yeah the made since, kind of.....So what. Why was it always hard to explain these things sometimes.

Iris was so very distracted. The classroom looked SO PRETTY. All white and sparkly and christmassy. The Head Girl LOVED Christmas. She had been one of the first people to come into the classroom, yet half of the students had offered their answer to the Professor's question before she even realised the lesson had started. Listening in to some of the younger students' answers, Iris figured out that they were telling Descoteaux what a Charm was. Raising her hand, the Head Girl decided to add her answer. "A charm is a spell that, generally has a positive use. They're used to make someone or something act in a way that they don't usually behave. However, they only affect the appearance and not the inherent nature of something... as that is what Transfiguration does. Some charms are really simple, and only affect a small area. An example of that are the tickling charm and the colour-change charm. But some charms are much more complex, such as the Muggle-repelling charm and the Fidelius Charm." Yeah... Iris liked to waffle. Lowering her hand, she went back to admiring all of the charm-work that went into making the classroom look like this.

William waits for the professor's next question.

Daichi listened to the question from at the front of the class. He raised his hand in the air "A charm can't hurt anyone , Right professor?" he wasn't sure about this but he thought it was right. "A charm is a incantation that makes objects or such move...or something like that" The first year bit his lip as he lowered his hand again.

Charlie liked the answers that people around her were giving and decided to go along with them. She raised her hand.
"Professor, is a charm making an object do something that's not in its nature?" She asked, rather pleased with her answer. She was sitting by herself and looked about for someone to sit next to.

Macy bit her lip and raised her hand, tentatively. "Charms are like spells, except that they are used to change something or to alter it in a better way. I think," she guessed. Mmm. She wasn't sure. Actually, she would much rather gaze up at the pretty snowflakes swirling around her head. Hehe. Preeeetty. It was a good thing she'd worn a coat.

Anasta understand that happy star was standing very far from her place of review. But she was interested in it very much. So she looked on her adoring professor with bright look and probably a mass of magic mystical words that helps her in usual life to be perfect. So...
There are spells that have as object the behaviors of Being to change themselves.
Girl was in very slow contact that difficult to change, but possible.
She hopes an enchantment without teething and opens to her with wide understanding of own opinion about all.

Beth raised her hand gingerly. "Er, a charm is class develops incantations for the uses of bewitchment. They give an object new and unexpected properties." She winced, hoping her definition matched the one she had found in the book in the library a few weeks ago.

"I kind of like it," Presley replied. "No, your answer was probably more correct. I just made something up because everyone was saying similar things. Yours was better. Hey, Charlie is sitting alone, do you mind if she sits with us?"

Charlie was alone. Presley didn't know the girl super-well, but they did share a dorm, and she was alone. She waved the tiniest bit. "Hey, Charlie! Come sit over here," she whispered to the girl.

Savannah still thinks that this winter wonderland charms classroom is AMAZING! But the professor totally ruined the coldness.

"Charms is...are...is..." Who cares about grammer now? "is a type of magic that gives an object new or unexpected property or properties." Savannah replied, hoping that the professor wouldn't realize that she repeated it off a book. It's not against the rules or anything, but it wouldn't seem...smart?

Melina let her raised hand fall slightly- she'd known the answer, but several students had already given their responses and now she didn't want to sound like she was just copying them.

But this wasCHARMS class, the class she'd been waiting for since she got that wand in her hand. She was determined to participate.

Raising her hand higher again, she replied "Yes, Professor. A charm, also known as a spell, bewitches an object or person and changes the way they'd normally behave, or gives them abilities that are not inherently theirs."

Oooh. Now she felt better. Now she felt like a Ravenclaw!!

What other Charm will we be talking about today?" Willaim asked the Professor.

Luna thought this question was going right down to basics which was okay but didn't really give her challenge anyway she didn't think it mattered since they had the whole year to learn then she stoped thinking about that and started focus on the question she put her hand up and replied ''A charm is a type of enchantment that causes an object to behave in a way that is not otherwise normel for that object'' said Luna brightly

Sitting up straighter, Thea raied her hand slightly. 'A charm can also just be called a spell..' She paused, biting her lip. 'When using a charm, it bewitches the object or thing and changes their normal behaviour.' Thea grinned. Woot! 'Oh, and it may also give them abilities that aren't actually theirs!'

"'Corse not, and yours was better!" she said, to her friend and waved to Charlie.

"What are you doing for the holidays?" Presley asked Rachel. The holidays were so close and Pres could feel freedom just waiting for them. It was practically all she could think about lately.

"I still dont know! Something good though, I hope!" She told Presley, "What about you?" she asked, Rachel loved the holidays, but missed her friends.

"My dad and brother and I are spending them in the Bahamas. They told me I could invite a friend," Presley smiled. "I was wondering if you'd like to come along?" She hoped so. Presley really liked Rachel, and holidays with her would be so much fun.

Charlie looked around as she heard her name being whispered behing her. It was Presley.
"Thanks," Charlie whispered back, smiling as she scooted over to sit next to her. "Charms sounds good doesn't it?"

As Iris listened to other students answer the Professor's question, she doodled on a piece of parchment. Sure, it was boring listening to lots of people answer the same thing, but the Head Girl didn't mind much. What she DID mind, however, was the two students who were sat behind her, TALKING to each other with a complete disregard for the rest of the class. Yes, the classroom was decorated all wintery. That did NOT give them the permission to talk about what they were doing over the Christmas Holidays, though.

After a minute or two of listening to them, Iris turned around in her seat. "Oi, you two." She whispered, eyeing their Ravenclaw uniforms, "Do you want to be quiet? This is a classroom, not your common room. People are answering Professor Descoteaux's question. You two chattering to yourselves instead of paying attention is rude." GLARE. "So I suggest you both pack it in before Descoteaux notices you two." Not that Iris cared if they lost points for talking... they weren't from her House. They were just extremely irritating.

ooc: Yes, Maxie hasn't replied in a good few days. That doesn't change the fact that this isn't a thread for general RP. If you'd like to RP your characters talking about the Holidays, do so in one of the very many general RP threads that the school RPG offers you, instead of clogging up classroom threads.

Melina heard a familiar voice behind her and saw her friend Luna. She'd been so busy that she'd hardly seen Luna, let alone talked to her. She felt bad about that. Catching her friend's eye, she whispered,

"Hey! Sorry I've been so busy! Wanna catch up after class?"

"Well professor, A charm is a spell that changes to behavior of who it was cast on, not what they look like. They can give them abilities that the person can't really do." Chris said. He read his charms book thinking he was right.
