Okay now things were looking a lot better, people were actually thinking now. It put her in a much better mood. Though this was quite easy so, yeah.

"You're all quite right. Today we'll be looking at spells to aid us with cleaning. As I'm sure a lot of you have bedrooms that look like this." Which was quite a shame really.

"We'll be looking at two spells, they are Plic Vestimenta, which is the spell to fold and Liberum Arbitrium which is a motor spell. Third years will be working with the folding spells and the older students will be working with the motor spells."

She moved to the basket and pulled out a shirt. "Pay attention." She gave the shirt a gentle tap on the shirt and said Plic Vestimenta" The shirt quickly folded itself. She smiled at the neatly folded shirt. "See? Very simple." She moved across the room to the brooms. "Now this spell, you need to say the name of the object you are charming. Like this:Liberum Arbitrium Broom. Swish and clockwise twirl of the wand." She proceeded to do as she instructed and the broom sprung into action, sweeping on it's on free will."You can use this on any cleaning instrument."

She stepped aside. "Now everyone take turns practicing. Older students there are enough brooms for everyone to practice on and enough clothing pieces for the younger ones."

To be honest Sophia was quite surprised at how well the students were doing, pleasantly surprised. In fact she was so impressed with them that she would allow them to have a bit of fun. Besides good behaviour was always rewarded, that was how she raised her children. Bad behaviour of course warranted punishment.

She walked among the students smiling at those who deserved it and fixing wrists here and there.

"Remember to pronounce the incantations clearly and use the proper wand movements..steady wrists."

She watched them a bit longer before holding up her hand to stop them.

"Okay you're all doing very well,so we'll have a bit of fun. I'd like you all to split into house groups. Stars and house points will be the reward for the house who can clean this room the fastest." She smiled at them. "The rules are as follows. You'll need to select two persons from each house, one from the first to third year group and one from the older group." She waved her wand again and unfolded all the clothes that had been folded by the students. The dust was once again all over the floor area. "Younger student should focus on folding four pieces of clothing from the basket and the older student needs to enchant two broom to sweep the dust to the corner of the room then use the evanesco spell to vanish the dirt. You will be timed. I'll leave you to get your teams together."

OOC: So I think I may need to clarify a little bit

The winner will depend on how realistic the posts are, no more than six posts per team.

This was going to be a tough one to attempt to do. Two brooms at the same time and then using the Evanesco spell to vanish the dust. Yeah easy as peach....for an older student. But Alyssa was determined that she would not let her House down. So she concentrated on the sweeping spell first. "Liberum Arbitrium Broom"she said to herself. Wand movement, swish and a clockwise twirl.

Alyssa picked up two brooms and placed them side by side in front of her. She closed her eyes, cleared her mind and concentrated on the spell and what she wanted it to do. She visualized the brooms performing the spell and sweeping the room. Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes and looked at the brooms in front of her. Unholstering her wand, with a swish and clockwise motion of her wand, Alyssa said the word of the spell clearly and concisely, "Liberum Arbitrium Broom" she pointed her wand at one broom and then at the other repeated the wand movements again and said the words one more time. "Liberum Arbitrium Broom".

Both brooms immediately sprang up and started to sweep. Alyssa almost wanted to pump the air in triump, but remembered that she still had to concentrate on spell and not lose concentration. She walked alongside the brooms as they both swept alongside each other. So far so good. She did a quick glance to see how Minnie was doing.

Merlin's Beard! She had most certainly lost track of the time. Time to take over her class again

"Alright alright." She looked at the Gryffindor students who were not quite finished just yet. She did say she would be timing them didn't she? "Finite" She looked around at all the excited faces and smiled.

"Well down teams well done. Unfortunately we have run out of time but I think you have all done really well in grasping the basics of these fundamental charms." She cleared her throat. "Slytherin team is the winner today, they were exemplary in working together getting a team ready and executing as instructed...Yes well done Slytherin. In second place is the RavenClaw team, HufflePuff in third and last...Gryffindor. You all tried your best and so points will be awarded to all house. The winner gets forty points, second place thirty, twenty for third and ten for the house that finished forth. Because we're out of time, I'd like you all to back up and file out in a line. I'll see you all next class where we'll recap today's lesson." She looked at all the faces. " I expect you all to practice..oh and do check the notice board for the names of those who managed to get stars today. They'll be a special prize for the student who has the most stars at the end of the term. You're dismissed."

He shuffled over and put his hand up straaaaaight in the air, waving it hopefully.

"Professor? Ummm... errr...." West peeked left and right and then whispered, "I couldn't do it, and I only got to try it once, and I don't know what I did wrong, because awesome stuff happened when I got my wand. Do you think it broke between now and the wand shop?"

'Great job Alyssa, we made a good team I think." she then turned towards the professor. "Thank you for a wonderful lesson. I love seeing the brooms go alone, since I was raised in the muggle world. Do you need any help cleaning up? I would be happy to stay and help."

Alyssa was surprised, and yet not surprised that Slytherin had been awarded first place. 'Hmmm...Seems like this Professor favors the Snakes.'Alyssa thought to herself. But she knew that it was the Professor's right to assign who she saw fit to be the winner. At least, she was gracious enough to award points to all the houses.

So Alyssa sighed before grabbing her bag, and followed the other students out the door. "Thank you for the lesson, Professor." she said to the Professor as she passed her on the way out.

Aw, Hufflepuff got third...Oh well, they still had done an awesome job. Alyssa and Minnie had worked hard and that was enough in Ella's eyes. Each girl received a smile and nod from the second year before she grabbed her things and got into line. On the way out the door, Ella smiled at the professor. "Thanks for a fun class, Professor. See you next time!"

Adarian smiled. Fist pump time!!! Go team Slytherin!! He walked by the Professor on the way out, "Thanks for a fun lesson! Lookin' forward to the next one" he then left the classroom beaming.

The Slytherins won! Yaaay!

Ahem. "Good job, guys," she grinned at the two who won sooo many points for their House. She was proud of them all. Hehe.

Since they were all dismissed, Nora walked back to where she'd left her bag, hung it over her shoulder and smiled at the professor. "Goodbye," she said, making her way towards the door, where everyone was supposed to get out in a line. Because the professor said so.

Kennedy couldn't contain the smile/smirk that stretched his lips. He knew they were going to win. They began in an orderly fashion, assembled as a team, and most of all encouraged each other. Now that was a real team. "Great job, Slytherin," he said, sending a proud smile to all.

All. As in everyone in the room.

What?

He was allowed to show his pride for his housemates to everyone.



It felt really nice to win and he wanted to do it again and again and again.

He turned his attention to his co-prefect and nodded. "Thanks." He chuckled when she nudged him and rubbed the spot. It didn't hurt, it was just a reflex of sorts. Kennedy grinned and shook his head.

He slung his bag over is shoulder and turned back to the professor. "Have a nice day, Professor Bellaire," and with that he exited the classroom.

Staring. That was the only thing Daichi could do. Staring as the Professor announced them as the winners. But, they had finished second right? How come had they won?

As their victory finally sank in the fourth year started to grin. He had NEVER been able to get so many housepoints for his house before! Well, he had one time with DADA last year but those had not been that many points. There was a bubbly happy feeling inside of him that just wanted to scream out but he held himself. What if he did and the Professor would take points for being loud?

Giving the high-five to Theo who had his hand out, Daichi's eyes twinkled as he smiled at him. "Good job Theo~!"

Still with a big smile on his face, Daichi walked confidently to his bag after class was announced over. He hoisted it over his shoulder, Mr.Duckles his plushy sticking out of the opening but before he left he walked over to the Professor first.

"Professor Bellaire?" he asked and pushed his glasses up. "Thank you for an AWESOME lesson! i've never been able to get my house so many points!" oh yeah, he was basically beaming with excitment. The woman might be strict but maybe having a strict person wasn't so bad after all if Slytherin won hehe.

SLYTHERIN HAD WON.

Theodore did a little victory bounce and he beamed at his fellow Snakes. "YAAAAY. Thanks very much." He said to the prefects. Should he bow? Forty points, that was an achievement and a half. He turned to the other Snake who he had competed with, "Thanks, you were great, too!" Woop.

"Oh, Professor?" He said quickly before he was gonna leave. "Can I have that golden star?"

Yes. The boy was very serious.

GRIN.

This.Was. AWESOME.

Anything else that Professor Bellaire had said was just some sort of muted buzzing in her ear. All that she could process at the moment was that they had 40 points, and that this was totally awesome.

"Thanks for the awesome lesson Professor." Cass said with a grin and a polite nod as she fell in line to leave the room "I'm sure I'll be using it often." The Girls' Dorms always looked liked a pigstye anyway. Nice to know that they would have an easier way to clean it now.

What? Oh no! that wasn't good at all he thought as the professor gave out points for each house. They didn't win, what could be more bad than that. He didn't had anyone to blame though. Everyone did their best he thought and looked down to his feet he was really upset. He wanted to eat some chocolate frog now, after this lesson he would straight head for that. He smiled as he thought of that.

He looked at the professor to say his good bye and finally found her. "Hey, professor, this lesson was fun. Thank you. See you in the next lesson" he said smiling and headed for the door.

Considering this was her first mission as a Prefect and all. She gotta tell Treyen about this later, he'd like it. And he was RIGHT about her being up to the position.

Rolling down her sleeves, she started fixing her attire before heading back to where her bag was passing the professor on her way, "Have a nice day, professor." And off she went to tell everyone about this first success.
