Éloïse turned around and looked at the girl sitting by the window in the back row. She thought that's a good answer, and started copying it down in her notebook. |
Thanks for giving the PST's time to answer more Alysssa thought for a little while longer and raised her again to add,"Professor, I just wanted to add to what I said earlier. I believe that new students should know the difference between what a charm spell, which is one of the seven spell types, and the others, so that they know what type of spell they are casting. For example charm spells are different from transfigurations spells, which is the second type of spell, in that a charm adds or changes the properties of an object like it focuses on altering what the object does, unlike a transfiguration spell which alters what the object is. In addition, a charm spell is an enchantment that causes an object to behave in a way that is not otherwise normal for that object. Then of course there are the other 5 types of spells. The jinx, the hex, the curses, the counter-spell and the healing spell. New students should know which of the spells should be used with great care and not simply for their amusement." Alyssa hoped that she hadn't said too much because this was of course the Charms class and not the Defence Against the Dart Arts class. But she still believe that the new students needed to know that charms weren't something to be used for their amusement. |

OOC: Yesh I read those rules first.. Though I used Laci as not exactly knowing her way around a school or rules before. |
Crossing her legs, Thea continued to inspect her nails as the students around her answered. Eurgh. Glancing up to see where the professor was, the Gryffindor racked her brains for a decent answer. All the useful stuff had basically been said! Personally, Thea thought they should know useful spells such as healing charms and household charms were also good. Thea knew them, of course as her Mother looked after/ cleaned the house by herself as well as being a Healer. |

As Nessie sat in the class, she sort of wondered how the time flew by so fast. It felt like only yesterday, she was an innocent little firstie going to Hogwarts for the first time, but here she was almost fourteen and she was in her third year already. It was crazy how time went by so quick. Either way now was not the time to think about growing up, it was time to focus. When it came to classes, Nessie was never too noisy. She didn't talk much unless she felt it was important to the class, which was how most teachers liked it. So she had remained quiet the whole time until the Professor asked the first question. She hesitated not sure what to say, she didn't really remember what she knew when she was a firstie. Either way she still decided to answer and so she raised her hand and waited her turn. "Professor I think first years should know what a Charm is, they should know how to cast a few basic charms and I think they should know how important wand movements are." She thought she sounded weird, but she didn't care it was worth a try. |
Jen wasn't that into talking but she raised her hhand anyways "Wingardian Levepsa is a charm. So charms are meant to move stuff" she said as she sat back down. Listening to the other answers, Jen thought hers was pretty simple. Maybe she should study more. |
Sophie was just looking around while the other students answered, one right after the other. "That's A LOT of information!" she thought. Her mum and dad used spells all the time, but Sophie never knew stuff like there were seven types of spells or anything. She then started writing down what she heard from older students and thought that made sense. "Seven types... charms, transfiguration, jinx, hex, curses... wait, what were the other ones??" |
Gg She had been writing down all the info she was hearing about the charms. She kept double checking herself so that she wouldn't miss anything that was being told. |

- but he did know it! In the middle of his panic, he suddenly remembered what he'd learnt about Charms from reading his books over the summer, and his own had joined the many that were swinging in the air. "Miss, uh, I mean, Professor, aren't Charms the... don't they alter an objects qualities?" he said, lowering his hand as he spoke. "Like, they change it's behaviour or capabilities?" That sounded right. Right? |

Autumn thought about it for a while "hmm well I know that charms normally last longer than normal spells professor" Autumn thought this was correct from her reading. |
Eliza raised her hand. "A charm is a spell that changes what a objects does, Professor Schirmer, it is one of the seven known spell types." Eliza said, exactly as her mother had told her. |

after listening to everyone's answers, Mike writes down the answers he feels are good. He is really excited about charms class. Every great wizard needs a strong foundation, and lest's face it, charms is the base of most, if not all spells. "I believe charms are simple spells. I don't know too much about them, thus the reason why I in this class. I am an empty cauldron, fill me up professor. Mike flashes a large smile, hope he doesn't sound too much like a teachers pet, but the excitement of being in charms class is just a bit over whelming. |
Ariana Didn't feel like answering, everyone else had it covered, instead she intensively listed & made note of all the reasonable answers, Ariana Might have been a mean girl but she was smart too |

'The first years need to know,' she said thoughtfully, 'that charms are very useful, and there are relevant charms in most situations, but they must be learnt, memorised and performed well, otherwise the magic performed may be another charm, which will not have the intended effect,' she said, smiling at the thought of what her brother had once done in a charms class |
As Em was sitting there, she pulled out her ink, parchment and quill so she could take notes when the time came. As the professor introduced the first topic, the Puff wrote it down. What was something new students needed to know about charms? Well that was easy, and something she wished had been explained to her when she started. Raising her hand the girl answered. "One should know the difference between Charms and Transfiguration. Charms alter an object on a superficial level, where as transfiguration changes its inherent nature, produces something from nothing. That means anything labeled a 'conjuration charm' is actually transfiguration." Ok, so maybe it wasn't a crucial piece of information, but she knew that she felt like a fool when Professor D had to explain it to her in her second year. |
Silently sitting there, Eva thought to herself wow so many things to know, I'm a third year and hardly figured out half the things the others were saying. She felt intimidated by them and hoped she wouldn't be forced to say something. Sliding down in her seat, Eva tried as best as she could to stay out of the way and not be noticed. Wonder how long that'll last. |

"Well, I think it's important that people know and understand exactly what a certain charm does," she said, raising her hand. "Charms change what an object does, so I think it's important that you really understand what you're changing and why before you just start swishing and flicking." Glancing over at a select Hufflepuff student, she added, "Gilderoy Lockhart is a good example of this. You know, with his Memory Charm and all." |
After thinking about the question a little while longer, Em raised her hand again to add to her answer. "I also think its important for new students, and even those returning to know that its okay not to be able to preform the spell on the first try. It takes lots of practice and sometimes, a lot of failed attempts, to be able to work a spell properly." She thought that was all until she remembered the events of her second year and then she added. "Its also not a good idea to try spells you haven't been taught. Well, not by yourself at least. If something goes wrong, its a good idea to have someone else with you, preferably someone that knows what they are doing. That way they can help if anything goes wrong." |
SPOILER!!: professor Taylor shyly raised her hand, "Well first years should know that Charms is helpful and useful in everyday chores and tasks. Also that it can be helpful to your dueling and is kinda of importance to master because it can help you perform better in a lot of other parts of magic. They should also know that you need perfect pronunciation and wand movements so that the charm would work better...." Taylor trailed off. |

She was just as clever as Kurumi was, wasn't she? And Treyen had no idea why what she had said deserved to eye him...until she added the last part. Another smirk. Hand raised, "Clearly, Charms don't affect only objects, since they can affect people as well." Thank you, Sierra. He straightened himself on his seat, she'd just made this sliiightly interesting. |
Sammy listened to the question and completely blanked. Everyone was shooting out answers left and right...and he just sat there. The sugar wasn't helping much either. He listened as other students were shooting out answers. After they said them, Sam wished he would have said something. Oh well. There was always more questions, right? |
