Morning sunlight shined through the open arena windows onto the shiny stone floors and walls, but despite the chilly winter air having full access into the large room, it was relatively warm inside. In fact, the whole atmosphere felt...warm. Flickers of dust and particles could be seen floating through the shafts of light, almost with a glow. Almost enchanting. The ground seemed particularly shiny even, and may have been a tad slippery. Watch your footing! Even the bleak color of the arena had a certain lively factor to it. Or it could have just looked like the same boring arena, depending on one's opinion. The mats and desks were not present this time around, giving the room a more open feeling, though the Professor was still at the front of what would have been the class set up, a merry smile upon her face and waiting for the students arrive.
OOC: Class has begun! If you're just joining us, please don't post arriving late. Pretend as if your student has been in the lesson the entire.

"Even though it's instinct to do so, you haff a little too much emphases on the 'a' sound. Try and lessen it."
Sophie had just raised her wand to try the spell again, when she heard her name--coming from the professor, no less. Uh oh. What had she done? ... She turned to face Romanos with an expectant look on her face.
Oh. She'd just used the incantation the wrong way. Or, mispronounced it. No wonder. "Oh," she said, "thanks, Professor." She said the incantation aloud a few more times, being sure to lesson that a sound. She raised her wand to try again, when...

"Alright! Everyone! Stop vot you're doing!" Slowly moving back to the front of the class for a final time, she waited until they settled down before speaking. "Ve're at that time for our little house competition. Ve'll take a ten minute break beforehand so I can set up. Feel free to sit and chat. Relax. Those of you who von't be participating, you may sit upon the stands."
Just about to head out to grab a few things for the activity, the professor clicked her tongue and turned back to the class. "You may continue practicing the spells if you so vish, as vell."
Now...onward to get all the things!
Oh, the house competition! WOOT!
Sophie could use this time to practice the spell a few more times while she waited. Hopefully by then, she'd have it mastered.

"If you feel comfortable vith your performance vith this spell, and are not sliding any longer, you may continue on vith our next practice. Ligatenous. This spell is similar to that of Incarcerous, however, instead of conjuring ropes to bind your target, you'll be conjuring chains. It's a simple point of your vand to your intended target. Vot I vont you to do...is to aim for either one of the target dummies to the back of the arena, or at the vall. Not at one another, alright?"
GOOD? She would be watching!
"Unless there are no questions, go on ahead and practice."

OOC: Hello everyoooone! Still here? Goodness to Merlin, you guys are amazing! Got a little long, didn't it? Don't worry, class will be over shortly after our lovely competition type activity thing. Head on over HERE where we'll be starting sooooon.
Tessa heard the change in spell and began to practice her pronunciation first. "Ligatenous," she repeated until she was sure she had it. ONce she was sure that she had the pronunciation correct, she walked over to a dummy. Taking a breath and clearing her mind, she repeated the spell a few more times so that it was easy and fluid. Focusing on the target, she cast "Ligatenous!" The chain shot out and wrapped itself around the dummy. Tessa pumped her fist into the air in celebration, before ending the spell.
"Practice makes perfect," she murmured to herself and cast one more. This one did not happen so quickly, and Tessa ended it immediately. She had let herself get distracted. ONce she had refocused on the spell, she cast once more. It wrapped around the dummy once more. Just in time for the Professor's next announcement.
Competition? She was in.
She grinned at her friends and quickly stretched during the break. She was looking forward to whatever this competition was!
