Post #1 Time to get started? Good idea. Practice came first, though, so Grayson placed his jar onto his desk before taking a couple of steps backwards and away from it. "Diminuendo......" Practice and all. "Diminuendo....... diminuendo......... diminuendo.... di-min-u-endo......... diiiii-miiiiiiinnnnnn-uuuuuu-eeeeeeendooooooooo!" Lulz. His brain was NOT in the right place right now. This was gonna be an interesting spell to try and cast in a completely serious manner. Lulz again. Yeah........... he needed to be serious about this. Clearing his throat, the boy continued chanting the spell without pointing his wand at the jar. Only a practice, after all. He cast his blue eyes around the classroom to see how some of the other people were doing AND to see if the spell was actually working for them or not. Which, generally, it seemed to be. Man, if he didn't get this, he was screwed. |
Post 1 Geez, Professor Q really had it out for Dima and Kyroh. It was not even funny. Well Dante was going to stay quiet and if he messes up. It will be up to Q to notice. Nor not. Dante did not know what will happen in the future. So to the jar shrinking. Dante looked at his jar. It was nothing special. Holding his jar in one hand and wand in the other. He was ready. "Diminuedo" Whoa, Dante did not expect it to work and suddenly dropped it onto the floor. Oops, his jar broke. Yeah that is not good. Dante raised his hand. "Professor Quigley. I need another jar" It was true. At least the spell worked. |
SPOILER!!: Dante! . . Okay...because the professor looked ready to hex someone...or like he'd just smelled something foul...Either or. He was saving this Slytherin's life, essentially. "Just repair it..." |
Quote:
Domino looked over to Dante...least that's what she thought his name was. "Couldn't you use reparo?" If you find all the pieces?" She asked him. She then concentrated to her jar and took a wack at it as she waited for him to reply. "Diminuedo," she said again with out her wand. She kept repeating it with out a wand until she was confident it would work. She took her wand and pointed it at the jar. "Diminuedo!" She shouted. The jar just sat there stubbornly not changed...maybe it shrunk a centameter? No, Domino didn't think so. She sighed and tried again. "Diminuedo!" She shouted again her wand pointed at the jar. Still nothing! She sighed and looked to the jar. Come on... |
mention of Gabe Quote:
...... T__________________________T "Get out." Out. OUT. OUT. When it wasn't one thing it was another with them. Oh I can't cast spells right. Let me make all the loud noises ever. Oh I'm a bloody know-it-all. Professor I lost my jar. Why can't we eat too? LOOK I'VE BLOODY WELL BROKEN MY JAR AFTER YOU SAID NOT TO PROFESSOR. "Out, Mister Formy." His eyes darted in the direction of the Ravenclaw Prefect, having caught the muttered expression through his sensitive hearing. It wasn't to say it CALMED HIM DOWN, no, no it didn't but it was another alternative and he supposed this one would be more ideal for the boy's education. Maddox took a REALLY deep breath then nodded toward Mister Banner. "Stay; do as he says." Before he changed his mind. "And that will be 5 points from Slytherin." Don't break the jar. DON'T BREAK THE JAR. He said it right before they began and the boy just carelessly dropped it then oh so casually stated his need for another. Ugh. Didn't even have the decency to repair it or utter an apology as that Hufflepuff had. |
Post 1 Now it was time for the activity. He had his jar all cleaned and he copied down his notes and now it was time to practice the spell. He looked up at the board and started chanting the spell. He cleared his throat and began pronounce the spell. "Diminuendo... Diminuendo...Diminuendo.......Diminuendo... Diminuendo...Diminuendo......Diminuendo... Diminuendo...Diminuendo.." Alright now the pronunciation was down now what about the wand movement? He saw Margo giving her wand a jab forward and noted he had to do that. He jab his wand forward a couple of times looking like a fool. Now it was time to put his spell and jar to the test |
Post 2 Gabe, Domino & Quigley OHHHHH. He forgot about that. A summer of not using magic, you tend to forget things. Simple things like Reparo. Well.... Awesome Prefect this guy was. Same with the slytherin girl. Simply forgot. "Thanks" . He said to both. Before he could even repair it. Professor Quigley came storming over. Telling him to leave and then stay. Then taking points of. Meh, it was only five. So Dante guessed he could stay now. Wonder if he actually loses points since his name is not Mister Formy. "Reparo" There. His jar was back to to what it was. |
im so sorry T_T Quote:
Earlier when he had lost those points he had felt proud , because he had wanted to deliberately lose them since his skill had been lacking. But this time he lost even more points for something that was unfair! "So you take points away when i didn't even do anything on purpose?!" he asked and no, the shouting of the incantation hadn't been on purpose, he just got carried away with failing each time that he lost his temper. Perfectly normal for a fourteen year old....right? And what was that stuff about classroom rules? Kevin frowned. "Cat Dude or whatever your name is, i KNOW that that so called rule is the first rule on that dumb list of yours" HA! didn't see that one coming did ya? "And another thi--" He was distracted by the Professor suddenly telling a kid (Dante) to get out for dropping a jar. Well, that Prefect saved him but that wasn't his problem. His problem was that HE had been talking and he had been ignored. "OI! i was talking!" he snapped his fingers to make a point. Did he have attention? yes? good. "I want my points back" now. |
Post #2 Diminuendo. Shrink it down to size. Diminuendo. Make it less significant. The wand motion, less a jab and more a point got executed with a sort thumping motion, although Cutty knew better. He'd done a million wand motions a million times by now. Not actually a million, but at least around five years worth. Not counting all the practices his baby!psycho self had done with any instrument that strongly enough resembled a wand. "Diminuendo!" He took proper aim at the sparkling clean jar before him and watched it wobble down a size or two. The Professor had been able to get his down to the size of a symbol and Cutty figured it was a matter of will and practice. In the surrounding chaos, Cutty began to feel better. It was as if it fed his soul. It probably did. He readied the jar to attempt the spell once more. |
Post 2 Time to put this spell into full effect. He saw the commotion between the younger slytherin breaking his jar. Jeez Professor don't get so mad about a broken jar. The little kid fixed it plus a prefect helped him out. Take a chill pill. Now onto seeng if he could shrink his jar. He had his wand at the ready and said, "Diminuendo!" with a jab of his wand forward and nothing happened. It just sat there not changing. It was taunting him wasn't it? He shrugged and went back to his notes and thought he said it wrong. Once he check and realized he said it right, he could see no problem. Ah well time to try again. He wondered if everyone was having success. He looked around the classroom curiously. |
(Post 5 if I still need to keep count?) *eyes kevin* Quote:

The Gryffindor let his eyes flicker for just a few seconds, over to whatever yelling was going on over at the other side of the-- KEVIN?! Oh Merlin. Zander gave him a look before turning back to the little Slytherin girl with the jar hand because really he could only do one thing at a time and he wasn't going to be the one to punish his best mate so uh, yeah. Hopefully the younger lion wouldn't land himself a detention because Zander had enough to worry about at the moment. Especially the Bart kind of things. Hearing the "Alright, just tell me if it starts hurting, okay? Because we don't want that," he gave her a sympathetic smile before taking her jar!hand in with both of his own. Trying to be as gentle as he could, the Prefect pulled a little bit, before looking up at the small girl again. "This alright?" he was of course referring to the tugging. He was going to be super, super careful. Didn't need to break anymore jars and lose Gryffindor anymore points. They had a reputation to uphold! "Yeah, I did.. It's on my desk, right over there," he glanced over to check and make sure his jar was still intact, which thankfully it was. Merlin, took him long enough to shrink it. Didn't need to start all over again, thank you very much. And then with one last!tug the jar finally came off! Holding it out to her, he managed a grin. "It's not as good as yours though." Though, really, they were all the same. But he was being nice. And he got the jar off!! YAY. |
Quote:
Kevin! Puck glanced at him as he was snapping at the Professor her eyes wide in shock and disbelief. “Kevin,” Puck hissed at her classmate and housemate…he was being irresponsible and he was going to lose points again! They were only even in the running because of Zeke. ”stop while you are ahead, please” she practically hissed. He didn’t need to be loud or get aggressively defensive about his use of loudness. ”please wait until after class to antagonize people”…heck, she’d help with the antagonization after class maybe? |
Post 3 Time to start practicing the spell one last time. He needed to prove to the Professor that he could shrink the jar. He got his wand out his robes and concentrated on the spell. "Diminuendo!" and did the forward wand jab and then the jar shrank! Woaaahh he did it! It was cool! Now onto the next activity. Hopefully he won't be breaking any jars. |
*is sorry too*?? Quote:
.................. ..................................... The Professor was seeing red. He'd only just taken care of the problem with the young Slytherin when Mister Hirase...got even louder. Maddox took a long pause of silence, one that you could possibly feel if you walked between the two. His thoughts were racing at a mile a minute, the anger rising higher than it should have been. The man had had it. Officially he was THROUGH with being spoken to with the lack of respect some of these students displayed and he was most certainly through with this Gryffindor. Maddox placed his wand calmly atop his desk, eliminating any chance that he'd 'accidentally' rearrange the boy's internal organs with the faintest swish or jab. There. His expression told of his rising annoyance but the man himself said nothing until very levelly he found his voice. "15 points. Detention. Another word and I'll have you thrown out. Locked in the closet adjacent the Charms Annexe, bound, silenced, unconscious and most joyously out of my hair." He raised his hand, in case the boy was about to interrupt. "Let me make you understand Mister Hirase. I am DARING you to utter another word that is not 'Diminuendo'. I am daring you to disrupt my class once more. PLEASE give you me a reason. I DARE you." Something burned in his eyes, despite the calm that accompanied his voice as he spoke. |
Post 3 + Question So no casting around birds. Got it. Well, cast if necessary but be wary of things that could fly in your face. That meant to watch out for other things that could fly as well. Flies, for example. That made Hayden wonder what would happen to a fly if it was hit with a shrinking charm. It was already really small so it would just get reeeaallly small. Hayden raised her hand because she had another question. "If you cast the spell on things that are already really small, will they just get smaller? Exactly how small does the spell make something? Can you cast the spell multiple times on the same thing to make it really small?" Wow she was annoying. Hayden hoped her questions wouldn't be a problem. And she still had to actually practice the spell, but she wanted an answer first. |
Post 1 Well, she didn't have any questions, and she didn't really care about the professor eating the apples in front of her. Now if he was eating a chocolate frog and wasn't sharing then that would be a problem. It went without saying that AJ would need to practice the spell a few times before actually trying it out for real. No breaking of the jars, eh? That was a lot to ask of them. In fact she pretty much guaranteed that somebody would be breaking a jar before this lesson was over. It might even be her. Anywho, AJ put her wand aside for the time being. "Diminuendo." It really was a mouth full, but thankfully it wasn't a tongue twister. Those were the worst! Diminuendo...Diminuendo...Diminuendo." Easy enough. No need to practice the wand pointing. |
Post 3 Merlin's underpants.....This class was chaos and Dante loved it. 'Diminuendo' Practice make perfect and Dante needed some more practice with this spell. Though this class right now was perfect for practicing chaos and not caring about points. Because what value did they really have. Expect he did get points for the whole putting Airey in a bag. Uh, points were weird. |
Post 4 + Another question, sorry Okay, okay. She had to actually attempt the spell now. Hayden sat up straight and stared at the jar. She was very determined to make it shrink. Slowly, she raised her wand so it was pointed directly at the jar. She tried to have them at opposite ends of her desk but there wasn't a lot of space to work with. At least they weren't touching. "Diminuendo." Shrink? Maybe. Please? Or not that was cool too. Hayden didn't know what she did wrong. She'd even pronounced the word right and everything. Oh well, she almost never got a spell right on the first try. She didn't know why that was, but it was definitely a thing that happened. She just had to try again. "Diminuendo." Another flawless pronunciation. Another moment of silence, staring at the jar as it did nothing. Come on, not even a little bit? She raised her hand again. Hayden hoped professor cat wouldn't hate her for asking too many questions. "Can you shrink something just a little bit? Or is it an all or nothing kind of thing?" |
Post 2 What the what? You see AJ was being a sweet little lion and practicing a spell like a good girl, and all of a sudden she looked over to see that Kevin had just lost them 15 points. AJ didn't really care about who was bad or good, but she did care about points simply because they were what made you win. AJ was a winner. She was a little bummed that she missed what Kevin said. It was sure to be amusing. Her eyes cut over to him a few times making sure that she didn't miss a good show. A big sigh later, she turned her attention back to her jar. She needed to make it shrink and quick because... well, Kevin and Quigley were getting entertaining and quick. How did he expect her to pay attention when THAT was going on, huh? No more wasting time. "Diminuendo!" Her wand was pointed at the jar, and nothing happened. That didn't surprise her at all though. "Diminuendo." More nothing. Hmph. AJ eyed Kevin again. It was his move after all. |
Post #2 "Diminuendo....... diminduendo........ dimin--" *SMASH!* ................. SNORT. Oh MAN. This was turning out to be an interesting lesson, wasn't it? Lulz. He was distracted. And kinda amused at the same time. Only kinda because Quigley had to go and be weird about the whole thing. Grayson couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked between the two parties. Jeez, man, take a chill pill. It was only a jar, wasn't it? Shaking his head, the Slytherin turned his attention back towards his own jar and drew out his wand. The wand movement was more of a point, wasn't it? Brilliant. That was dead easy to do so he wasn't gonna bother practising in the first place. He'd probably end up regretting it later but eh. EH. Clearing his throat, Grayson pointed his wand over towards the jar and braced himself. "Diminuendo!" he called, trying to let the courage and the spell flow inside of him or whatever it was he was meant to be doing to get the spell to work. And the result? ............................. LOL. Nothing. |
Post 3 Chaos was happening all around her, and she wasn't involved for once. It was actually kind of nice for a change and she intended to stay out of it for now. The only thing that would make this show a little better would be if she had some popcorn. Nothing like having something to much on while being entertained. She didn't have much focus when it came to making her jar shrink, but who could blame her? Not to mention that not everybody seemed to care about the lesson. As it turns out Kevin wasn't the only one who had already lost points. It sucked that he had to have a detention on top of it. AJ managed to take her eyes off of the guys and focus once more on the jar she had in front of her. "Diminuendo." More of the same. Nothing was happening and she was starting to lose interest in shrinking this jar. "Diminuendo." Nope, that didn't work either. This time she really tried to clear her mind and focus on nothing but making this jar shrink. Just think AJ, if you get the jar to shrink you can finish watching the show in peace, she thought to herself. "Diminuendo!" she cried as she pointed her wand directly at the jar. Her little pep talk to herself did the trick because she watched the jar shrink right before her very eyes. "Score!" Now, since there wasn't any popcorn around could she borrow an apple? He was surely not to notice with everything else going on around him. |
Post 4 - Quick Quotes Quill Zhenya was… um… listening to the kerfuffle in the charms class. For the first class of term this was certainly working up to be the BEST lesson ever. Well, actually worst. So much had happened it was just… crazy. She had been corrected in front of the whole class, but for her, that was the worst. She listened to a lot of other students losing points and getting detention… so much. She just kept her head down but still kind of listened to what was happening. She wanted to make her jar smaller, though. It wasn't small enough which meant she didn't do the spell properly. It was already slightly smaller, but it needed to be smaller. "Diminuendo," she said firmly, pointing her wand at the jar. It must have been her mind totally clear of all thoughts, because it went REALLY small. Whoa. She picked it up between her thumb and index finger and held it up in front of her face. It was quite small. And she was quite pleased. |
Post #3 Expecting a spell to work the first time round was stupid at this point. Really. How many of his spells worked the first time round? None, that's how many. Not that he was gonna stop trying anytime soon. "Diminuendo!" he cried again........ and again........... and AGAIN. And then once more after that. And each time, nothing seemed to happen, making the boy more and more frustrated at this point. Really, now. This was getting kinda ridiculous, wasn't it? Jeez! When was it gonna be HIS turn?! "Diminuendo!" SQUINT. No, he was in denial. Something HAD to have happened by now. Surely. Grayson headed towards his desk and picked up the jar to examine it. Did it LOOK smaller? He freaking well hoped so. And it was probably because of that that he was trying to make himself believe that it WAS smaller. Charms was HARD, mkay? Placing the jar down again, he headed over towards his spot again and turned around. "DIMINUENDO!" POINT! ............................. ABOUT TIME! The jar was now half of its original size but no matter. IT WAS SMALLER! |
Post 2 - and a little bit of mentions to Kevin Bianca was reaaaalllly trying to make this spell work. Except you know... she just so happened to be sitting next to the kid the professor was currently getting super upset at. She was trying uber hard not to smirk but at the same time she felt a bit bad for her fellow Gryffindor. "Oooooooh. You're in so much trouble." she muttered under her breath, amused. And then she shut up about it because she not getting into trouble. Nope. She was the image of innocence and hard work. Or she was trying to. All she really wanted to do was watch the gryffindor say something even though the professor told him not to. And she wanted to do that while eating a giant bowl of popcorn or bread people. Instead, she staaared at the jar to the best of her ability. "Diminuendo!" she said, trying to shrink the jar. "Diminuendo!!!!!" POINT. POOOOINTTTT. Was it smaller? It looked a little smaller. Maybe the Gryffindor should try to use the spell again on the professor and see if the professor could do anything then as a tiny little person... and then they could keep him in a jar and admire his pretty face. |
Oliver just kind of sat, waiting for another task to do since he had already shrunk his jar, when he heard a jar break. When he looked over to see what was going on, he could hear everything that was going on. Clearly, Quigley was really touchy when it came to his jars. Ollie picked up his quill and wrote down "Don't break jars" into his notes. Once the situation was fixed, kind of, and Slytherin lost even MORE points, he decided that asking a question might get the professor's mind off of broken jars and stuff and on to...not broken jars and stuff. He raised his hand, realized he didn't have a question yet, and then quickly dropped it down again. His eyes were on Professor Quigley the whole time, hoping he hadn't seen anything yet. Raising his hand once more, sure that his question was figured out now, he waited to be called and then realized he wasn't sure he wanted to ask a question anymore and so he dropped his hand. If the professor was mad, and Ollie's question was dumb Giving in, after a minute or two of trying to remember what his question was, he rose his hand once more, and asked, "Professor, are we going to learn how to undo the charm? Or is that not part of this class?" And if it was part of today's class, he hoped the professor didn't think he was rushing him because he totally wasn't. |
