louise wrote down what the teacher had said she went over to the left side of the room,

Jezzabelle had managed to survive this class so far and as far as she could tell this was a really strict Professor and she was terrified. She didn't answer the question in fear of giving a stupid answer and managed to miss out on proving she wasn't completely dumb.

Before she knew it they were standing and moving. First to third on the right. Well she was a second year so she went to stand with the people on the right side of the room in the back. What were they doing exactly?

What 'Charms' was was one of the most rudimentary questions. One Ellie's heard the answer of again and again. And again and agian. And again and again. Six times, basically. Since she was an ickle firstie herself. Which was why she let the ickle firsties struggle through the answer. Or hit it right on the head as that Slytherin boy seemed to.

She was impressed.

And....were they going to see what was behind the curtain now? Quietly, Ellie followed the Professor to the back, standing on the left. Mhm.

"No Mr.McIntyre. I'm afraid you're wrong." Her frown intensified ten folds.
"The discipline of Charms students focuses on incantations or enchantments that adds or changes the properties of an object.. to put it simply." They needed simple, she NEEDED everyone on the same page, right now, they were not.

"Now I need everyone to follow me to the back of the classroom." She led the way down the corridor to the back and stood infront of the classroom to wait on everyone to gather. "First to third years on the right, fourth to seventh years on the left."

Taylor 's displeasure showed on her face on her face for being called a mister. She got up and followed the teacher. Tay moved to the right though since the professor instructed third years to the right.

Brooke got out her fingers, trying to work out which side was her left and which was her right. She didnt knowww. Instead she walked to the right side of the room, well she hoped it was the right side. It was were the younger looking people stood so she presumed it was the side she was supposed to be on, being only a second year and all. She stood as still as possibly looking at all the people around her. Not wanting to stick out from the crowd or be called weird or anything. She just wanted to be normal.

Lets hope she was stood on the right side of the classroom.

She left a sign on the notice board, did they not see it.

"Good day everyone, as you may or may not know I am Professor Bellaire." She moved to the board and neatly wrote it on. "For those of you who sat, please exit my classrooom and come in and again then stand behind your desk. I believe my instruction was simple enough." She combed through the rows of students with bright brown eyes. "Please ensure your uniforms are neat, I'll be moving along the rows to check personally; shirts must be tucked in, ties straight, hair neat and shoes cleaned. If by the time I get to you're not properly attired, you will exit and not be allowed to entire until you are neat. Also please make yourselves name tags, you now know my name I'll like to know yours."


Was she leaving out anything? No she didn't suppose she was. Right, she offered them a smile.

Belle did what she was told and made a nametag.

"Now who can tell me what the Charms discipline is?"

Belle heard the question and wrote it down in her notebook to keep it for a rainy day.

Belle wrote down the answer in her notebook when the teacher was saying the answer to the question. As she was finishing Belle followed the proffesor and went to the left side of the room.

Right right, they were all gathering nicely. She gave them a little time to all file from their desk and gather where she had asked them to. Of course she was keeping a keen eye out for those who might find it 'cool' to shove or anything like that. She was glad no one did as yet.

"Okay so I know some of you may be curious about what is behind this curtain. I can assure you it's not what either of you think."

She flicked her wand and the curtain parted. The area behind the curtain looked like a very untidy bedroom. The bed was not made, there were clothes strewn all over the ground and the chest of drawers drawers were all open with clothes hanging out. Yep it was a real mess. Their was also a clothes basket in the corner that had numerous shirts, blouses, shorts and skirts that were not folded.

She turned to the students after throwing a reproachful look at the make shift room.

"Can anyone guess what we'll be doing today?"

Annabelle looked at the surroundings and thought to give her guess a shot. "Profesor won't we be using the levitating charm to lift the clothes, use the Scourgify charm to help clean this place up?"

Taylor raised her hand after wrinkling her nose a the mess, "Professor, are we going to learn a spell that is going to help us clean up that.... mess?"

ChloeeCloverr 05-06-2012 11:06 PM

...This was a spell Brooke had always dreamed of. Well, okay she hoped it was. The blonde jumped up, waving her hand a little too enthusiastically. "Professor, Professor, are we gonna learn a spell to tidy our rooms ?" ...once she was of age, she'd never have to tidy her room again. OMG. This was gonna be so much fun. She couldnt wait, she'd never been so excited about school ever.

The curtain reveal! How exciting!

Oooh, what was it......? Oh... a messy bedroom? Hold the front page of the Daily Prophet. -_-

Theodore stared, unexcited, and mumbled, "Tidying?" Oh but wait, this was a CHARMS class. Tapping his wand lightly on his leg in excitement, he added, "CLEANING CHARMS?" They did exist, right?

YES.

Theodore puffed out his chest, getting ready for his gold star.

Smug, smug, SMUG.

RandomRaven 05-06-2012 11:08 PM

*Yawn*

This class was quiet boring for the blonde guy. He just listened to the people's answer until the lady gave the right explanation. Should he write down it to his notebook? He didn't think so.

Then he followed the Professor and stood up on the left. What will they do next?

Gary was amazed to see what things behind the curtain. A messy bedroom? So, today the would..

"Professor." the blonde guy raised his hand, tried to guess what would they do today. "So, today we will learn how to cast the spell to tidy up the bedroom?" he asked.

HaRoHeGiNeLu 05-06-2012 11:08 PM

It wasn't what they thought?

Honestly, Ellie didn't have any expectations. She's seen things behind the curtain that ranged from lake/pool things to tanks of water to....were the ovens her first term behind a curtain, too?

Yeah, the seventh year was WAY too experienced to even THINK about thinking about what might be behind the curtain.

......Though, the Professors never ceased to surprise her. A bedroom? And a dirty one at that.... She raised an eyebrow, "Cleaining?"

She ain't cleaning. She didn't do that. That was what house elves were for.

Where was Kurumi?

DuckyLinJi 05-06-2012 11:08 PM

Daichi had been wondering what was behind the curtain , probably like anyone else was. He expected something cool to lay behind there but when the Professor flicked her wand and the curtain parted he stared.

A bedroom. A very untidy bedroom... "This looks like my room" he giggled as he looked at the messed up bed , clothes on the floor. Moving his eyes away from the bedroom to the woman he thought for a few seconds before holding his hand in the air. "Are we going to learn how to fold with the use of magic?" he asked and pouted his lips a little. If he was right then he wasn't sure if he would like it. The Slytherin prefered a messy room cause he could find everything better than a tidy room. Atleast that was the case with his own bedroom.

Not that his father agreed to that.

PatInTheHat 05-06-2012 11:10 PM

"....Cleaning?" Isidora responded rather unenthusiastically, hand going up slowly as she surveyed the room. It was such a mess, she hated cleaning messes, mostly the ones that weren't hers since she didn't get THIS messy. Suddenly she brightened at an afterthought and add, "With CHARMS!"

oh its Erik ok 05-06-2012 11:12 PM

Nigel thought about what she said earlier and raised his hand and said "Um will we being using incantations and spells to clean this room?"

Holmesian Feline 05-06-2012 11:19 PM

Gideon watched with the rest of the class as the curtain was moved aside, thankful that it was something mundane and not a repeat of one of Professor Carlton's classes. He thought for a moment on the response to Professor Bellaire's questions, others supplying cleaning for the most part. "Will we be working on any of a number of charms that can be used to do household chores?" he questioned wording it differently then his classmates that had already spoken.

Maybe not necessarly cleaning charms but he could be wrong. And while his parents tended to show them not to rely on magic to do everything, Gideon was aware that there were plenty of charms to do a plethera of things.

JeshieRAWR 05-06-2012 11:19 PM

Jade watched as the Professor opened up the curtain and her eyes widened at the view in front of her. An untidy bedroom unfolded upon her eyes and her face turned into disgust. Did the Professor really believe she was going to clean this? No way. Jade wanted to run out of the classroom right about now.

"We're going to clean with charms, right?" She asked, looking from the bedroom back to the Professor. Please say no, please say no, please say no.

Team ronmione 05-06-2012 11:24 PM

Tag followed many of the younger students to his own right,as the instructor had told them to. And then she flicked her wand and appeared a very messy room with clothes all over the floor, a unmade bed and unfolded clothes. That reminded him of what his room back home looked like at the moment-the mess he had left his mother. "Someone has made a mess upon this room. I'm assuming we'll be learning a sort of charm that can either help in cleaning up the room all together or certain sections. House tidying."

itsjustjesse 05-06-2012 11:26 PM

Mika stood there with the rest of the First through third years and felt she was at a loss of words. For some reason the charms teacher scared her off from speaking in general. The woman looked - well, tough?

And she had high expectations about cleanliness. Mika couldn't promise she wouldn't have a spot of dirt in her hair when she showed up - luckily for her she could make it look clean and wash it out later.

No she didn't plan on cheating her way through life but keeping scary Professor from giving her detention because her tie was off kilter felt like a good idea. It did. A brilliant idea.

"Are w-we doing cl-cleansing ch-charms?" She stammered out quietly her words barely a whisper.

When she saw the reveal of the room she almost snorted. Almost. It looked like hers at home the week before she left for school. Everything in piles - everything haphazard.

Kennedy's eyebrows shot up into his forehead. Boy, was THAT a mess. He couldn't ever imagine having his room that untidy because his mom would be after him nagging until he got it cleaned.

He wrinkled his nose and then raised his hand. "We are going to learn charms that will assist us in cleaning," he said. He didn't feel like it though.

Kimalia 05-06-2012 11:33 PM

Kimalia's first thoughts, Laundry? She found it cruel how she had to do it the muggle way back home. She rose her hand, "Will we be performing some cleaning charms on the.. mess?"

Lady of Light 05-06-2012 11:34 PM

It wasn't what they thought? Evelyn didn't really give that much thought..but she'd hoped it would be something exciting?

The professor opened the curtain and....WAIT. It was a really untidy bedroom. Are you serious!? NO WAY. She wasn't going to do any cleaning. NO WAY. Even if it was with charms. C'mon, that was just way too silly. With a rather bored expression on her face, she waited for the Professor to tell him what they'd be doing exactly.

Ringo 05-06-2012 11:37 PM

Ronnie watched as the professor showed them the messy room.
Now THAT room was MEEEEEESSY!
Ronnie listened as the professor asked what they thought they'd be learning about today. Ronnie thought....and thought.....aaand thought...

.....and then she had it!

Maybe they would learn a spell to...help clean everything up? That could be it. Yeah, that sounded like a very good answer! Ahh, Ronnie is so brilliant. Ronnie's hand shot up. "Will we be learning a spell to help us clean?" she asked.

She returned to the front of the class and beamed brightly. Everything and everyone was perfect.


"Everyone take your seat, after this point no talking unless you are answering a question. If you are answering a question be mindful to raise your hand. Do not speak out of turn I hate it." Slight frown.

"Now who can tell me what the Charms discipline is?"

Oh...so they could sit down now? Was this going to be a routine for her lessons? Standing up and having their uniforms inspected? Kurumi suddenly felt nostalgic all of a sudden for Japan. They did this before each lesson as well - stand up, bow, teacher inspected their uniforms to make sure skirts were at appropriate length and ties were done just so. So, since Kurumi had gone through all this before, it was not too unusual for her.

And then instructions. Right. Don't speak unless spoken to and if you are answering a question and always raise your hand. Wasn't that just proper protocol for every lesson? Kurumi was under the impression that it was, but did not comment and instead took her seat, making sure to sit up nice and tall with good posture while she waited for...whatever it was that was about to happen.

And then came the standard introduction question, well...sort of. She hadn't asked what a charm was, so that was refreshing at least. Kurumi's thoughts lingered on the word discipline and what exactly that all entailed. Kurumi wasn't sure, but it seemed like the standard charms are spells that focus on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is was what she was looking for.

Kurumi decided to remain silent through this portion, listening quietly and taking notes seeing as she always saw these sort of introduction questions are being aimed more for the younger students to wet their feet in the subject matter.

Aha, so Kurumi had been right that the standard answer had not been what she had been looking for. Taking note of the most basic definition - we liked basic things - Kurumi made sure her wand was in her pocket and then followed the professor, making sure to stand to her left.

And then Kurumi sort of just stared at what was behind the curtain. Sort of...ironic considering how obsessed the woman seemed to be with cleanliness. Actually...no, it made perfect sense that they would be reorganizing a messy room and putting everything in its proper place. However, when students were discussing Scourgify and other cleaning spells, Kurumi cocked her head to the side. The mess in front of them wasn't that sort of cleaning, was it? She thought Scourgify was more for spills and removing grime and what not.

Kurumi slowly raised her hand. "Professor, it is along the lines of cleaning...but more specifically are we going to learn spells that will assist us in folding clothing?" Since that was the bulk of the mess. Clothes. Everywhere.
