| | Apparition Practice Area The Great Hall has been divided up into three main sections. When you first enter what was formerly your dining area, you'll see to your left an A-sign which says "Practice area".
Before you sit for your written test and then go for your practical before one of the testers from the Department of Magical Transportation, you're more than encouraged to spend a few moments practicing or studying in this room. Don't congregate too long as one of the testers may come along and accuse you of cheating ..... |

Entering the great hall, Evelyn stopped, taking it all in. She was more nervous for this then when she was for the OWLs...or even the NEWTs. Wiping her hands on her sides, she took a deep breath and turned towards the area labeled the "Practice Area". Right. It was better to practice and whatnot before she went to go sit the written and finally...the practical. She was more worried about the fact of being splinched than not passing. Eh...

Destiny didn't think this day was ever going to come, the day she went for her apparition license.
It happened just in time, too. Being her last year of school and all, and going where she was going right afterwards, apparating was something she was going to need to do. And really, how awesome would it be to just whip out your license and BAM, showing people you were allowed to do it?
With a grin on her face, Destiny skipped her way into the great hall, only stopping to get a look around. Pfft, they could have left one table. It was the great hall and the only thing great about it was the food. Now, without that food, it was just a hall. Scoffing to herself, she reached into her pockets, and pulling out a chocolate frog, she made her way over to the practice area. She had just shoved the frog into her mouth when she spotted Evelyn, and swallowing quickly, she moved to stand next to her friend. "You know, Grandmum Tole splinched herself once. Took the hair right off her head."

She knew what she should be doing right now, studying more than likely, but the Slytherin just stood there. Her bundle of nerves was getting worse by the second...and she was highly suspicious that it had to do with the images that were flying across her mind. No arms. No legs. No...
Hair.
Eyebrows raising in surprise/worry/disbelief, Evelyn looked towards Destiny before that familiar scowl reached her face. "She also appears in a cloud of black smoke." she mumbled, shaking off the nerves, and feeling a bit more like herself now. For the love of Merlin, she NEEDED this apparition license. If only so she didn't have to side-along apparate with Destiny's crazy grandmother anymore. Shudder. |

Oh..
Destiny didn't think that telling Evelyn about her grandmother getting splinched would be a bad idea. Surely her friend already knew that there was a possibility of that happening, right? And it wasn't like she mentioned what happened to her grandfather. That story was probably best if she waited until after they already had their licenses. Or maybe it was just a story that she should never tell.
Eyebrows raising in response, she shrugged her shoulders when her friend mentioned the black smoke. "She sure does like to make an entrance, doesn't she?" Sometimes, not often though, Destiny idolized that woman. Except when she went into her wig waving moods, then she wanted to be as far away from her as possible.
But anyway.. "Are you going to practice? I want to watch."

Make an entrance?
Was it possible for Destiny's grandmother to make a quieter entrance? Or one that didn't smell? Brushing away the question, she took a deep breath and sighed, going over everything that was in her notes in her mind. The written portion she wasn't all that worried about, obviously. Anything could go wrong during a practical though. For ANYTHING. "Yes. Of course." she nodded, playing with the cuff of her sleeves. That was why she was over here, was it not? Taking another breath, she readied herself, going over the three D's. Destination. Determination... Glancing at Destiny a few times, it was taking longer than necessary to 'practice'. "Don't look." Making her nervous.

If it were possible, Destiny's eyebrows raised even higher.
Right, it really looked like Evelyn was going to practice. With the way she was just standing there and glancing back at her the way she was. Wasn't she supposed to be concentrating? Destiny opened her mouth to ask just that, but the comment telling her not to look had her forgetting what she was going to say.
What did she mean 'Don't look?'
If she was going to apparate in a HUGE crowd, was she going to tell everyone in it not to look? Destiny didn't think so, but still, she covered her eyes with her hand. "Fine. I'm not looking." she said, and spreading her fingers apart just a little, she made sure she could see everything her friend was doing. "Well, go on. Apparate! Not that I'm looking.."

She better not be looking.
Frowning even more, she scrunched up her nose and turned back to looking forward. Of course, she couldn't HELP the fact that she had to look back to her friend every now and then, just to make sure she really wasn't looking. "DON'T LOOK." Really. Don't.
Composing herself, she huffed quietly as she glanced over her shoulder to the area where they took the written test. Looking back over to Destiny, seeing the girl's hands covering her eyes, Evelyn had all intentions of apparating but a split second later, she turned and started over to where they took the theoretical. She'd just...apparate later. When she really had to.

Eeesh!
Destiny let out an exasperated sigh as Evelyn, once again, told her not to look. Did her friend NOT see her hand covering her eyes? How was she supposed to even see when her eyes were covered!? Sure, her fingers were spread apart just the tiniest, but she didn't think it was that noticeable. Just in case, though, she closed her fingers a little more.
And it was a good thing she was still looking.
Dropping her hand away from her face as Evelyn just walked off, Destiny scoffed as she watched her friend's retreating back for a moment. "Thanks. Thanks alot." she mumbled, and after stuffing another chocolate frog into her mouth, she made her way over to take the theoretical part of the test.
She wasn't about to practice apparating on her own! What if she lost her hair, too!?

Walking into the practice area, Ellie saw the Head Girl and another Slytherin girl standing there. It looked like they were debating on who should practice first. And then they both walked off. Well fine. Now that Ellie had all the space to herself....
She took a deep breath and looked at the space of floor a few feet in front of her. She'd done this before, she could do it again. Determination, Destination, Deliberation... Destination, Deliberation, Determination..."
And with a split-second whirling feeling, she was there. Ellie turned around to see the space where she stood a moment ago and grinned. Now she just had to do it one more time for real...
