This lesson certainly was turning out to be something Nicola didn't regret coming to at all. Not only was the seventh year lucky enough to be within mere inches of a beautiful creature of a man, but now she was fortunate enough to show how well she'd been paying attention to this chiseled wise Professor.

Puberty-infested noses.

That statement alone, made the seventh year burst out laughing. She wasn't sure if it really was that funny, or if she was laughing at how corny that statement was. And if it was corny, she of course was more than willing to look past that moment. For someone as attractive as him, she'd forgive just about anything he did or said. Although, she did feel that some of those students probably did have puberty-infested noses, unlike herself, who thankfully never had a problem dealing with disgusting skin problems like acne or blemishes of that kind.

....

Nicola played with her braid with one hand as she stood in line for her chance to have a go at stopping the hurtling water balloon from hitting her, much like everyone else in the room. She wasn't really worried about getting hit by one, because she felt rather confident she had the incantation practiced pretty well. Although if she did happen to get hit by the water balloon too she guessed it wouldn't have been that terrible, of course for reasons she'd never say aloud.

It was soon her turn, stepping up, of course not before she took a moment to eye the Professor with a dreamy glint in her eyes briefly, then began she raising her wand. Nicola gave him a little nod, which also included a raise of her eyebrow to signal she was ready. Then there it was, the water balloon hurtling towards the redhead & without any moment of hesitation she spoke clearly, "Arresto Momentum!", soon waving her wand in the proper wrist wand movement. And of course, it stopped, no surprise to her.

She giggled very satisfied with herself as she got out of the line. Collecting her belongings off of her desk, she turned in the direction of the Dreamboat as she lifted her hand to wiggle her fingers in a cute manner towards him. "Thanks ever so much for that amazing lesson Professor..I do hope you enjoy the rest of your day.." She smiled as she played with her braid for a little bit, before turning on her heels making her way out of the classroom..

Charms...Was definitely something worth going to...now..

Soon it was Adi's turn once again to have a shot. His hair and robe around his chest area were still soaked but that didn't bother him right now. They would be dried off later. What bothered him was not getting the spell right. But he would! He was determined!

Professor Fuller aimed a water balloon in his direction and fired. Never taking his eyes off of the balloon, Adi raised his wand. "Arresto momentum!" Waaave the wand! Come on! Work!

Oh looooook! It had stopped! Right in mid air, three quarters the distance away from him. Yaaaaay!

Water balloons? This would be fun! Memories of summer evenings and water balloon fights filled Blair's head as she waited in line. This charm would have been helpful to know then.

Finally it was Blair's turn. She had her wand at the ready as Professor Fuller launched the water balloon. Her eye's fixed on the balloon that was coming towards her at some speed, she waved her wand, "Arresto Momentum!" The balloon slowed, but not much.

SMACK!

Right in the face, Blair let out a little squeal and joined the back of the queue to try again. At least it slowed down she thought, halfway there. Next time just try not get hit!

Minerva was just in aw.. Aw of this class.. Aw of this professor. FINALLY a class that made sense and went through the entire lesson with learning something and no beards!!! well except the one on the professors face She sat quietly as he said what his next lesson was. Puberty infested faces? She chuckled at his way of teaching. It was unique, but still respectable.

As she watched the students line up, Minerva stayed back just watching. This was entertaining as well as fun. Laughing as some got wet and others did perfect their first try. No this was class! Moving towards the line she saw Mikey get a water balloon in the face. "It's alright you'll get it next time." She smile as he came to the back of the line standing next to him. "Here I always think a little treat helps me focus more." She handed him the Reese Cups she had in her hand. "It's muggle candy if you didn't know." She was use to people not knowing that and needing to explain.

So it was her turn to be up alright. Minerva took a deep breath and watched as Professor Fun threw the water balloon. "Arresto Momentum" She watched as the balloon slowed and then stopped. Putting her hand under it she "Finite" She watched as the balloon fell to her hand. Hmm could she maybe accidentally through this at someone possibly Sky or Zahra just for fun of course. Thinking probably not she decided to just toss it back in with the rest of them and go over to her seat to gather her things.

"Just concentrate and say the words clearly Mikey.. You got this.." She gave him another smile before pulling her bag over her shoulder. "Professor, thank you so much for such an interesting lesson." It was nice to know they still had normal professors at the school.

"Stuff a sock in it Cuthbert," Benzi shot back, grinning toothily as his hair dripped onto his already wet shoulders. The eleven year old looked over at all the other kids who were having a go, and felt his chest swell with pride as he saw that not all of them had succeeded during their first go.

SMART PEOPLE HOUSE.

Turning to Cutty in order to boast of their collective achievements, Benzi stared at the empty space where his friend had stood. Where did he g- O___O HE WAS TALKING TO BLUE EYES. DID HE KNEW BLUE EYES!??!? Benzi's eyes buldged and his jaw dropped to the floor as Cutty POPPED THE BALLOON ON BLUE EYES.

In a SECOND, Benzi was right by the Slytherin duo. "I-" he began, but quickly realised he couldn't really help this embarrassing situation, so he grabbed a hold of Cutty's arm and PULLED him towards the door.

Ahhhh, lovely dark skin to hide the deep deep blush.

Soon enough, it was Ryan's turn. Again. Taking a deep breath, he clutched his wand and took aim. Any second now, the water balloon would be hurtled his way and since he didn't want to be humiliated again, he was determined to get the spell right.

Suddenly, the balloon was lobbed at him. Ryan grasped his wand tightly in his right hand and sort of yelled the incantation.

"ARRESTO MOMENTUM!" He waved his wand and concentrated on slowing down the balloon, but mostly he just didn't want to get wet again. And before his very eyes, the balloon slowed down and then came to a complete halt. Cracking a huge smile, Ryan grabbed it and then threw it back at the professor, hoping he would catch it rather than allow it to pop. Delighted with his achievement, he gathered up his things and left the classroom, waving Professor Fuller goodbye.

Adelaide continued practicing with the mouse until the dreamy professor called the class back to order. She stopped immediately, setting the mouse on the desk. She didn't want to upset this professor. He was nice looking.

Adelaide quirked an eyebrow at the puberty infested comment. He was definitely a different kind of professor. She waited for him to finish talking before she followed his instructions. She put the rest of the things in her bag, not to worried about being the first in line. The longer she had to wait in line, the longer she could stare at the professor.

She waited patiently in line and then it was her term. Adelaide had her wand tight in her hand, ready for whenever the balloon was shot in her face. Then it came. "Arresto momentum!" She said and the balloon stopped right in front of her nose.

She smiled before grabbing the balloon out of the air. "Here you go professor." She handed it to him and headed back out of the classroom. So far so good on the lessons.

Marigold arrived at the front of the line and flinched as the water balloon was sent at her head. She only shrieked minorly before casting the charm.

"Arresto Momentum!" she said, waving her wand and looking pleased as the balloon paused midair. "Thank you Professor. THAT WAS A GREAT CLASS," Marigold said, grinning. She walked to the door, and with one last wave, she left the classroom very happy.

Kace was going to try one more last time, to make sure he could master it. He went to the front of the line after Marigold. He braced himself for a third time. The balloon was coming after him and he could feel he could do this again. He waved his wand and said, "Arresto Momentum!" and then the balloon stopped in midair again. SWEET!

He was beaming and then went to his desk to get his belongings. He nodded towards the Professor, "Cool lesson Professor." he told him honestly. He waved him goodbye, got his backpack and left the classroom hopefully catching up to Marigold on the way out.

Caleb had gotten the nod to go ahead and try again, so he eagerly hopped back in line and waited his turn once more. He was more confident now that he knew he could at least slow it down...and now that he'd done it once, he realized it wasn't THAT scary to do it in front of the professor and was sure he could do it successfully this time.

He finally made his way up to the front, and once again was faced with an incoming water balloon. He braced himself, waved his wand and yelled "Arresto Momentum!" focusing long and hard on the water balloon as it approached.

It slowed, slowed, and slowed...and then finally, about three inches from his face, it stopped. Right there in midair! He was still focusing on the balloon to make sure it didn't drop and get his shoes wet, and he carefully reached out and picked it out of the air like an apple.

"I did it! Thanks Professor," he said with a grin as he returned the water balloon to the man.

Okay, Blue worked best under pressure anyway.

She was not in the mood to all wet and gross and no. She was not about to make a total idiot out of her self either.

Even if it meant she could spend less one-on-one time with the rather nice looking professor. He needed a nickname, for sure. If only his name was like, Micheal Hanson. Now that would be just perfect.

Ah yes, this was what she thought about during line-waiting.

Blue raised her wand when she was first in line and gave a nod and what she hoped was a pretty smile though it was probably more of a grimace than anything. LKFJBGLKJGBFFOCUSINCOMINGWATERBALLOONYOU'REGONNALO OKSTUUUUUU - "Arresto Momentum." STOP NNNNNNNNNNOW. And it did. Awww yeah. The fifth year beamed and saluted the professor, before moving to examine the floating balloon. "Not bad, not bad. Thanks Professor!" And then she moved out of the way for the next person, going to chill in the sidelines.

Cutty was smiling satisfactorily at his efforts, whether they were successful in soaking Sophie Newell or not, he had done it. The next thing he knew he was being PULLED by Rider out of the Charms class. Being the smaller of the two boys, he decided not to resist and still wearing his foul little smile left the charms class waving. Jerk.

Wooh. Thank Merlin. Professor Gorgeous was speaking up now....and finally, they were MOVING ON with the class. She really needed a reason to break apart from her thoughts. Sigh sigh. Anyhow, turning now ALL attention to the man talking because he deserved ALL OF IT...

Single line. Stop water balloon.

Yessum. Copy that.

When it was her turn, the Prefect took a single step forward and tucked hair behind her air. Heehee. "I'm ready, Professor." Ready as can be. Control freakishness taking over? Kinda. For when ever-so-gorgeous Professor Fuller sent a water balloon hurtling toward her, her Quidditch!senses took over. Former Chaser knew her way around bludgers, you know. She wouldn't have lasted playing for almost five years if she didn't. And this was no different, not really. Except on the pitch, all she could was dodge, this time she had a wand and that wand was waved with good deportment as Beezus muttered, "Arresto Momentum!"

......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand STOP!

Grin.

She walked up, Finite'd the stationary water balloon and grabbed it from mid-air. "Thank you for the wonderful lesson, Professor." Beezus said, beaming particularly at the man before she carefully settled the water balloon inside the box along with the others.

Throwing their new Professor another look of admiration, she adjusted the hairclip clasped on her hair near her ear and gathered up her things. She still had time before her next subject sooooooooo off to the Library she'd go to research about Professor Fuller things.

To say Kaiden was upset was probably an understatement. He was a fifth year, and should have been able to do the spell, but no, he was covered in water, and his face hurt. And sure he hadn't been paying too much attention, but his reaction time should have been quicker. What would Keeper Lady say? He couldn't be on the team if he was slow. And he was slow. Frowning, he tried to pay a little more attention to what was going on in front of him.

This time, when he reached the front of the line, he was ready. Mostly because he knew he was at the front, but still, that was ready. Suddenly the thing was flying at his face once more. Waving his wand, he said "Arresto Momentum!" and closed his eyes waiting for it to hit his face again.

.......

.....

"It worked!" he said opening his eyes to see it floating there in front of him. That was great, and it meant he could go right? like free to leave and get dry? Because he was doing that now. Bye Professor Sir, we are out of here.

Sophie wasn't really sure what would happen to the balloon suspended in front of her. Meh. Not her problem. She was just about to dismiss herself from class, when in the blink of an eye, Cutty Mordaunt, the most annoying kid in first year, stepped forward and popped her balloon. She just ignored the 'Nice work, Newell' comment that came with it. He didn't mean it anyway.

The balloon burst, and she blinked as most of the water inside landed on her. She immediately felt a fury build up inside of her. When she got her hands on Cutty Mordaunt, she was going to... to... Well, she didn't know what she was going to do, but it'd be something!

She opened her eyes to see the Ravenclaw boy who'd been smiling at her dragging Cutty to the door. Was he in on it the entire time?! UGH. First year boys were going to drive her insane! There were so many things she wanted to do right now, and none of them would be pleasant to Cutty. However, all of them would get her in a load of trouble. So instead, she turned her gaze toward the professor and gave him a look that said--'Well aren't you going to do something?!'

The professor had been keeping up with shooting balloons at his students and he was quite impressed with most of them. Even those that hadn't succeeded, he was pleased they were getting back in line to try again. He was just about to shoot another, when he noticed that Slytherin boy pop a balloon all over the Slytherin girl. Oooh... Considering her relatives...

"Newell," he called out to the Slytherin girl and held out a green water balloon. "You have my full permission to smash this on his head." Would that work for her?

Pierson returned his attention to the next person in line. "Come on, who's next? We've just got a few minutes left!" And with that, he shot the next balloon to the next student in line.

OOC: I'll give you about eight more hours to finish this task! You are dismissed once your character succeeds. I'll post the homework when I close the thread.

Just when the third year old was done with practicing her spell she heard the voice from the teacher, and… it was time for another part of the lesson! Wondering what they needed to do now she turned her attention toward the professor and hide her hairbrush inside her schoolbag. Hmm, she needed to do the spell again, but this time for the professor himself! OOOOH! Was she going to do it good? She didn’t wanted to fail in front of the whole class! That would be SOOO embarrassing! She REALLY, REALLY, REALLY didn’t wanted to get wet! She HATED it to get wet! So she NEEDED to do it good this time!

She did what the professor had told the whole class to do and walked toward the others who were already standing, ready for the practice. After a few minutes when it was her turn, she pointed her wand at the professor and took a deep breath, she narrowed her eyes and concentrated. ‘I can do this’ said Sonea in silence to herself, she had done it before so she could do it again! “Arrest-whoaa Momentum!” yelled Sonea while she made the correct wand movement and pointed her wand at the balloon, but…. She only slowed the balloon down, but it was still flying toward her! Quickly and with a ashamed look in her eyes she jumped away from the balloon and was just in time to NOT get splashed, but she failed this time! OOOH, she was so stupid! She had done it correctly a few minutes ago! Why had she failed this time? Was it because she was nervous to do it in front of everyone? …

Sigh. Now he had get up. He had just gotten comfortable. Nigel got up slowly and got into line. To bad Captains and Prefects could not get in line first. Membership should have its privileges. But alas no. Nigel waited til his turn and momentarily forget what he was suppose to do. So it came as a tiny bit of a surprised when Professor Facial Hair shot a water balloon at him. "Woah"

Cool. Now Nigel knew what he suppose to do. Nigel raised his wand, pointed it at the water balloon, and cast "Arresto Momentum" . He might have said it in a lackadaisical manner. But it worked.

So was he done now. He kind of missed that part. Nigel yawned, then turned to the Professor. "Thanks for the lesson Professor Fac........Fuller" Now onto what Nigel wanted to eat.

It was a serious question

Okay second attempt. Blair observed the boy before her, he made it look so easy! Come on you can do this Blair, she thought to herself.

As she approached the front of the line she stood up tall, wand held out in front of her. She was determined to get it right this time round. She watched carefully as the Professor fired the balloon at her, "Arresto Momentum!"

It had worked! This time the balloon had stopped, all be it a few inches from her face but it stopped all the same!

Glad that she had not been a soaked a second time, Blair headed back to her seat and collected her belongings. She headed towards the door, "thanks for a great lesson, Professor." She beamed as she left the classroom.

o_____________________O

that wasn't slightly terrifying at all, water balloons hurling straight for their faces, no pressure of anything, right? 'Arresto Momentum, Arresto Momentum, Arresto Momentum.' she kept on saying the spell to herself in her head enunciating it clearly and efficiently, cause the last thing she needed was to have a water balloon pop n her after she just did SO well on practicing. Putting the charms back on her bracelet she clasped it back on her wrist before standing and going to the line, somewhere near the end she was, since she had to put her bracelet back together, she took her time doing that.

Suddenly there were three people ahead of her.. only three 'Arresto Momentum' just for good measure, she gave her wand a wave of the motion she needed before taking a breath.. Two more people. You know this could be embarrassing for some, to not only not get the spell but to have water all over them after, heh.. One more person, and she could do this, she had done the spell perfectly before and charms was one of her strongest classes, she could do it

"Arresto Momentum!" ............. That came quicker then she thought it would and she stopped the balloon mere inches from her face as she let out a breath of relief "That was fun." really it was she thought stepping out of the way and going back to get her book and stuff..

good times people, and she was OUT

Of all of the things Ascanius hated working one on one with a Professor took one of the top spots. 'Sides heights. He hates that more then anything. So when he was told he had to come up and actually work with the ugly, cheap trick Professor be was not amused. The only thing that made it a hint better was their freedom to leave after completing the task.

The sooner, the better he figured.

Snagging his place on line, Ascanius waited until Professor Bueler or whatever his name was prepared the water balloon. It was a little delayed, but as soon as he did Ascanius waved his wand and focused on intent. Stop mid-air. Don't mess up the hair. Go to a complete stop.

With some proper motivation, he uttered, "Arresto Momentum." Then the water balloon stopped mid-air. Mhmm. Perfect.

He was leaving. And not saying goodbye.

Peace.

Okay, i NEED to do it again and i need to do it good this time! She narrowed her eyes while she walked back toward the line and waited until it was her time to try it again. And all the time, when she waited for her next turn, she thought about ways to do it good this time, she decided to NOT look behind her to see who were watching her and who not, because,,, well, she hated it to do something when a lot students were watching her! So, when it was her turn, she walked directly toward the professor and didn't looked behind her. She pointed her wand at the balloon and waited for the professor to trow the balloon toward her. She made a waving movement with her wand and yelled the spell, "Arresto Momentum!" ... ... ... And! It worked! The balloon stopped in the middle of the air and stayed there! Hahaha!!! This time she had done it!

Okay, Charms class was definitely shaping up to be one of the more interesting classes this term. And not because of the looks of the professor, but because of the activities he was having them do. Like this one. Sky joined the line and when it came her turn, held her wand ready. All right, Professor Fuller, do your worst.

Once the balloon was hurtling towards her, she remained calm and took aim. "Arresto Momentum!" The balloon stopped just inches from her face. Which meant that the spell worked. Great! The young woman snatched the object from the air and quickly threw it back towards the professor. She didn't think he'd mind much, seeing as he seemed really laid back. However, she did gather her stuff and leave rather quickly, just in case.

Newell? She was already known on a name basis (last name, but yeah) by her professors? Nevermind that. She was being handed a water balloon, which was awesome, but... "He left," Sophie said, making a face at the door. Hmm... "Can I take it outside of class then?" Because, she could always find him in the common room or...really anywhere. She'd go hunt him down for this. If she was allowed, that is.

Well, what a silly question. "Of course you can, off you go!" That little punk deserved a water balloon down the back of his head.

----------

Once everyone had a chance at the water balloons, Pierson took a look at the clock. "Alright, that's it! Time's up!" With a wave of his wand, the remaining water balloons (which were few) vanished. "You all did quite well today." The charms professor walked over to the chalkboard as the students gathered their things and prepared to leave.

"Your homework is to simply practice this spell until you have comfortably mastered it. You may work with a partner, or by yourself, using whatever object you wish. Within reason." So really, no throwing your classmates in the air. Even though, he had to admit, it would be quite amusing. Heh.

Piers turned to the board and wrote down the assignment. "Class dismissed!"
