Default Charms Lesson 1: Now We're Cooking!

It's a cool morning in late October, just a few days before Halloween, when today's charms class begins. In honor of the upcoming holiday, the room is decorated with paper bats and jack-o-lanterns, and just for today students are allowed to wear costumes. Even the professor is getting in on the action with a costume of his own. As you walk into the room, you'll find Professor Marchand standing at the front of the room, leaning against the balckboard with one hand tucked behind his back. If you look closely, you'll notice he looks a little thinner and paler than usual. And are those dark circles under his eyes? Or is that just part of his costume?

And the professor's appearance isn't the only unusual thing. On the refreshment table at the back of the room is a container of hot apple cider for the students to enjoy, but today there are no snacks laid out! Why are there no snacks? Is this part of the lesson? Only time will tell.

OOC: Welcome to the first OOC charms lesson of the term! Class will start in ABOUT 24 HOURS (2:30 AM EDT May 20) HAS STARTED! And don't forget to post a pic of your charrie's Halloween costume!


Lesson Progression

Mini Activity
Question 1
Question 2
Calefacio, Frigidus & main activity

Text Cut: ”Popcorn Ball Recipe”
Ingredients
2 cups unpopped popcorn
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).

In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes.

Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired.

Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!

While burglar Ava was busy with heating up the kernels, Noelle looked to see what she needed to do.

She grabbed a bowl and put some butter in it. Taking her wand out, she pointed it at the bowl with the butter and said, "Calefacio!" Only a tiny flame sprung to life. Knowing she could do better than that, Noelle tried again. "Calefacio!" The same flame poofed out of her wand. Nope, she could do better. Squaring her shoulders, Noelle said "Calefacio!!!" and a large flame shot out of her wand. See? She could do it better. While the butter melted, she added the sugar, molasses, and salt. She continued to heat the mixture while looking over at Burglar Ava to see how she was doing.

Anyway. Smile still in place, Felicity tipped the popcorn into a bowl and pulled out her wand. "Are you any good at this?" she said, before her own attempt. "Calefacio." Rotating her wand in a fire shape over the 'corn, she figured she should be better at this considering how many times she'd watched her dad do it. Her stream of hot air, however, came out lukewarm, only a handful of kernels proceeding to pop.
Lucy quickly made room on her desk.

Was she any good at this? "No," she shook her head, "I'm pretty bad at spells....and I never get that close on the first try," she finished, as Felicity's corn actually popped some.

Meanwhile, she dropped the butter in the other bowl and sat it on her desk. "Calefacio," she tried moving her wand over it in a flame shape. "Calefacio....Calefacio..." she tried and tried, cheeks growing pink from embarrassment as she struggled to get it to work.

Eventually, the butter did start melting.

Popcorn balls. However delicious they sounded Kennedy was very worried they would be ridiculously messy. Not a big fan.

But it was Charms class so she didn't really have a choice, plus she liked to learn new charms and they would probably end up delicious. So Kennedy grabbed a bowl and poured a bunch of the unpopped popcorn into it. Fun! Now it just needed to be popped.

Concentrating hard she began to say the incantation, "calefacio" and then it was the difficult part. Drawing a flame. How was she supposed to do that? Kennedy Stark was not an artist. She liked things that were more practical like charms that had swishes and flicks or drew circles, etc. Not flames. Flames were artsy. Kennedy Stark was not.

Unless you were casting dangerous, wicked magic....to hurt other. It was safe to assume that was not something to be happy about.

Apologies, Roopunzel.

Hm, now for melting the butter... Okay, this bit was sorta confusing. One person melts it, while the other pours the remaining ingredients in one by one? Or would they mix them together beforehand and then combined the butter with that? Oh, buddy. Okay, this was not a Greek tragedy.

AHEM..."Yes, perfect." However, it was NOT perfect. Nothing was perfect. LIFE WAS IMPERFECT. To disguise her passing amusement, Olphaba grinned oddly in her purple counterpart's direction. "I shall melt the butter and then YOU, Glin-....Roopunzel, shall add the others."

Was that okay? It only just occurred to her that saying as much in character might've come off a little rude. But again, she didn't wait for his confirmation, as she moved the bowl with the butter slice to the center of the desk. That way, it would be easy for them both to work around it if need be. They'd be... sharing the responsibility of keeping it heated for the full five minutes, right? Or was she misunderstanding? "Thank you for working with me." It was said randomly. "I really adore you." That was random, too.
Oooh! There wasn't a green Olivia clung to him one second, but there was in the next. "Good wandwork, love. Incredible, even." He gave the top of her head a kiss, glad that something put a smile on her face in a class. And he knew how great it felt to nail a spell quickly, something which wasn't always easy to achieve. (No matter how some people made it seem with their stupid perfection and being perfect at everything they perfectly did perfect)

Rooney flicked some of his hair in her direction at the almost-name-slip, sticking his tongue out in protest. "If you say so, Madam Green. Maybe I can cover you in a bucket of water to initialise your escape plan afterwards!" But he was already ready to get started on his job. Roo made sure with the recipe that he had to hand everything that he needed to add in: the sugar, the molasses and the salt.

He had been just about to say that she could begin with her portion, when she stepped up to move her bowl into the centre. Roo assumed that was for teamwork ease, so he wasn't leaning across with his gangly princess arms and getting in her way whilst he put stuff into the bowl. Hearing her speak, he looked towards her face and smiled wide. "I'm incredibly obsessed with you too, my love. You never need to thank me for working with you. You inspire my educational flare." Livvy was his Flynn Rider for right now, despite her green skin and the different costume.

"Right, let's go. You heat and I'll add in the stuff and stir. Plus we need to keep track of time." But luckily, as always, this princess had an hourglass in his satchel and dove to get the Disney themed one that he had with him today. Minnie on one end and Mickey on the other. Honestly, it was just magnificent. "Five minutes begin when you start." He could flip it.

Olivia slung her bag over her shoulder and moved her belongings over to where Skylar was. Placing her notebook and pen on the table so she could easily follow the instructions, she glanced at Skylar and nodded at the suggestion. Skylar would pop the popcorn and Olivia would melt the butter? That sounded like a good plan to her. "Sounds good to me!" she said.

Then she grabbed the butter and headed to work. Alright. They needed a tablespoon of butter, right? She measured out the butter, making sure it matched he amount, and then cut it with a knife to the right size. Placing the butter in the bowl, she took her wand and focused for a moment, trying to remember the incantation that they had learned. Calefacio. She had to trace her wand in an M-shape. She practiced making a flame shape with her wand three times. Once she felt confident with that, she moved onto the pronunciation. Calefacio. Calefacio. Calefacio. That sounded like how Professor Marchand had said it.

Steadying her hand and wand above the butter in the bowl, she drew a flame shape and said the incantation, "Calefacio." She moved her wand slowly over the butter and watched it begin to melt.
Ah good, so Olivia was in agreement with each of them doing the heating charm on something different. While the Lioness practiced and melted the butter, Skylar figured she may as well get to practicing herself, because the butter mixture would be useless without popped popcorn. Pouring the desired amount of kernels into one bowl, the fourth year first figured she should practice as well. Calefacio. Calefacio. Practicing moving her wand in the flame shape, she then said 'Calefacio' a few more times, out loud, so she could feel the way it rolled off her tongue.

"Calefacio," she said, as she practiced, moving her wand in the flame shape. Waiting a moment, it seemed to take awhile, but she heard sizzling. At first, she wasn't sure it was going to work. Heating dry kernels? But then, just as she was about to give up, the kernels started popping into their popped form. "It's working," she said, grinning, as she slowly kept her wand motion to keep the heat on it.

People grabbed partners so fast, and Katy wasn't inclined to scramble. What was it that old Muggle actress said? She didn't want anyone who didn't want her. So she was available if someone needed her, but in the meantime, she was going to make herself a popcorn ball. Learning new spells, especially kitchen ones, was dead useful.

Katy gathered the bowl of unpopped popcorn kernals and returned to her seat. The hard little kernals rattled against each other in the bowl, but it wasn't hard to imagine what they would look like once popped and fluffy white. That was the important part, actually, being able to imagine what the outcome of the spell would be. Fluffy, warm, delicious popcorn.

"[i]Calefacio[i]," she murmured the spell without the wand motion, getting the feel for the incantation in her mouth. No weird vowels or slippery consonants in there. She unholstered her wand and pointed it at the bowl. "Calefacio." For real this time. She waved the wand over top of the bowl, gently heating the kernels until they popped.

She suppressed a smile as she watched them for a second; did Derf have a crush on his housemate? She felt like Derf had a thing for older girls. She didn't really understand it, but she supposed no one could help who they like liked.

What were they doing again? Right, Charms. Emmeline was glad that Stasya didn't think it was unfair that she had to cast the healing spell for five whole minutes, and she grinned at Stasya when the other girl got the heating spell perfectly right on her second try.

Now, how was she going to stir this stuff in when they hadn't learned a stirring spell? Emmeline took out the other ingredients one by one from the box and opened their packaging enough that they would be easily poured/stirred in. To her relief, there was a small wooden spoon in their box.

The first year carefully measured out 1 cup of white sugar, and poured it into the butter bowl. She stirred it up a bit with one hand while pouring the cup of molasses with her wand/right hand. Some of the molasses spilled on the desk as a result, but they still had a cup's worth that Emmeline stirred into the mixture. Lastly, she measured out 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and dumped that into the bowl too, keeping the stirring up as much as possible the whole time. She'd seen Slinky, their house-elf, bake stuff in the kitchen when she was little, so she was pretty sure that that was how to stir stuff in.

Now to keep stirring until their 5 minutes was up. "Doing alright there?", she asked Stasya; her friend had the harder job after all, and Emmeline had been so focussed on the other ingredients that she hadn't paid attention to how Stasya's casting was going. Her friend seemed really good at Charms, though, so she wasn't really worried.

Emmeline glanced down at her watch as she continued to stir: "Five minutes are almost up, right?" She thought so, but she'd check with Stasya to make sure they agreed before they moved on.

Miss Summers and Miss Burton were off to a great start. It had taken Miss Burton a couple of tries to get the heating charm, but the important thing was that she didn't give up. "Excellent, Miss Burton!" the professor said with an approving smile. "Practice makes perfect!"

Miss Dalgaard-Volkova also seemed to be having a bit of trouble with the spell. Gaston was at her side in moments, but she got it right before he could offer any pointers. "Nicely done!" he said, giving her and Miss Sparkes a smile.
"I knew you could do it!"

Miss Morrison and Miss Cambridge seemed to be the farthest along, having already made several popcorn balls. "Great job, ladies!" he praised them. His eyes darted to Miss Cambridge just as she tasted one of the popcorn balls. "So how do they taste?"

The teams of Miss Phillips/Mr. Bronwyn, Miss Potts/Miss Harington, Miss Holden/Miss Diggory, Miss Kramer/Mr. Ashbury-Hawthorne, and Mr. Salander/Mr.Westwood were also making excellent progress. Each team got an encouraging smile from the professor before glanced at his watch and turned to address the class as a whole. "Excellent work, all of you! You have about ten minutes left to finish making your popcorn balls. Once you're done, you may eat them or take them with you to save or later or give to-"

A voice cut him off mid-sentence, and he wheeled around, his long black coat billowing behind him, just as Mr. Moore walked in. Where had he been? "Mr. Moore, you're late," he said. "I'm afraid that's five points from Gryffindor." He hated to do it, but rules were rules. "Now go join one of your classmates' groups and try to catch up..." He brandished his hook playfully at the boy. "... or ye'll walk the plank!"

Gaston looked around and saw that Miss Sorin-Ward also hadn't found a partner yet. Had he forgotten there was an odd number of students in the class? "You may join another group as well, Miss Sorin-Ward," he said, "or try to work by yourself if you prefer."

And speaking of working by oneself... the professor turned and saw Mr. Botros all alone and struggling to cast a heating charm. He heard the boy ask about the wand movement and sidled over to him. "The wand movement for the heating charm is a flame shape, Mr. Botros," he said. "Like this..." He drew the shape of a flame with his wand but didn't say the incantation; the boy needed to learn to do the spell himself. "You've got the incantation down, now let's try putting it with the wand movement. I know you can do it; just keep trying." and he gave the boy an encouraging smile.

OOC: You still have ABOUT 8 HOURS left to finish the activity!


Any distractions she had earlier had to be forgotten, or at least ignored. Stasya had to focus, and besides, the main distraction had gotten figured out anyway as she sort of had listened to the conversation going on between Derf and Etta near where she was working with Emmeline. She wanted to make sure everything was going okay, anyway, while she was trying to melt all the butter. She’d already begun moving her wand around over the bowl to try and keep things even when Professor Marchand had suddenly stopped by their table. She’d looked up with a grin when he’d complimented her, taking one second of distraction. Maybe it’d give Emmeline enough time to get everything else ready. “Thank you Professor,” she said sweetly, before she turned her attention back to the butter and moving her wand at nearly the same time as Emmeline had started pouring the sugar in.

Okay, back to focusing on keeping things melted, and she softly repeated the incantation just to make sure her wand hadn’t forgotten what it was supposed to be doing as Emmeline had continued adding the rest of the stuff that was supposed to be in the butter mixture. It kind of reminded herself of when she’d helped her mama make cookies, except there wasn’t all the flour and other stuff that needed to be added. Plus, she hadn’t been able to use magic before.

Looking up at the clock, she counted down the seconds until five minutes were up. “Mhm ,” she said, in response to one or the other of the questions she’d been asked. Maybe both. Five minutes was almost…now it was up. “Okay, so now we need to pour this on top of our popcorn so we can start making it into balls!,” she said, making sure she didn’t accidentally set her wand in the spilled molasses as she got ready to help with the pouring or whatever else Emmeline wanted her to do.

SPOILER!!: popcorn ball recipe

Who he just KNEW was going to help him make sure that he didn't blow something up or melt something that he really ought not to. Like he had done in Herbology last term. The bucket....that Professor Myers apparently had on display somewhere.

Her cheeks were red. More and more girls were DOING that around him and he really wasn't sure what to make of it. He would ask Jessa...but conversations on that tended to turn too detailed and scientific for his innocent ears to follow. Abey...he would maybe talk to his Gryffindor about it.

"GREAT!" he squeaked as he grabbed the bowl and fumbled with the popcorn for a moment before getting it into the bowl. "Uuuuh....you probably ought to do the heating charm on the popcorn," he said a bit sheepishly. "I'm likely to burn it all. I can do the butter!" Which he grabbed next and carefully, sort of, measured out the one tablespoon worth and plopped that into the other bowl. "Calefacio?" he repeated, glancing up at Etta curiously. Had he said that right? At least there were no 's' sounds in this incantation. There WAS hope.

SPOILER!!: recipe just as a check list

Ingredients
2 cups unpopped popcorn
1 tablespoon butter

1 cup white sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt


Directions

Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).

In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes.

Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired.

Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!


Etta still couldn't believe he'd made a shirt with her face plastered on the top.. A shirt. Her FACE. She honestly didn't know what to feel about it. Mostly flattered but maybe a little awkward too. Was it even worth having HER face on a shirt after all? But she loved that Derf thought it was. He really was one of her favourite people.

She nodded when he mentioned taking care of the butter but said, "You should have more confidence, Derf. I'm sure you can do it better than me.".. which was true. She wasn't saying it just to be kind. Etta watched him carefully add the butter before he looked at her for clarification. "Yes, you're saying it right. Go on."

Etta smiled at him once more before proceeding to pour the necessary amount of corn into a bowl and pulling out her wand. She drew a flame-like shape with her wand over the bowl of kernel. "Calefacio." Soon enough, the kernels started to pop. She turned towards her partner once again, wondering if he'd managed to heat-up the butter.

FOOLISH ROOPUNZEL. Don't reveal her aquatic weakness!!

It was probably super inappropriate for this Charms lesson, but Olivia just appreciated Rooney so much, okay? Where others often made her feel inadequate and unimportant to their day to day lives, Roo reminded her that she mattered. That she was worth it. And to a teenage girl who was already suffering massive self-esteem problems and battling depression on a daily basis, it really meant a lot. While it may have seemed over the top and wholly extra to so many others, it was exactly what Olivia needed. And she didn't need to tell Rooney that. He already knew.

....also, she'd NEVER seen that Disney time-turner before. It was actually precious. Rooney!love. Stifling a laugh with one of her green hands, Olphie nodded her agreement to his words. Such a smart, understanding princess she was working with today. Seemed to her like someone deserved to be rewarded later. Wink, wink. "Ready yourself, Roopunzel!" Allowing her counterpart to prepare, Olphaba poised her wand just above the bowl....only to carefully trace out the top of a flame a few moments later. Five minutes. They could do this. Actually, they could accomplish anything when they worked together. "Calefacio!" Her hand remained steady as the spell began to take hold. On the opposite side of the desk, Roopunzel was carefully adding the remaining ingredients. One by one, so that everything could be more thoroughly mixed through before the next was introduced to the bowl. Granulated white sugar first. Not paying much attention to it, as she needed to keep up with her own spell (which was still new, mind), Liv shifted from one foot to the next. Maybe she should've taken a seat for this bit....

Two minutes in...

Needless to say, staying stationary was STILL very much a chore for her. And on legs that constantly ached, to boot... Anyway, molasses, next... Were they making something like nutella? Her experience with the tar like substance was newb-level, at best. So, she had little clue as to what the finished product might actually resemble. See, her mother didn't approve of things like molasses. Had stated over and over again that it was terrible for one's teeth. So, naturally, that had meant it was off-limits to her.... It was starting to smell really nice, though. Super, SUPER sweet...but fragrant, at least.

Four minutes in...

With the salt being the last of the ingredients to find its way into their bowl, Olivia continuously peeked at Rooney's Disney time-turner. It was almost time. ALMOST...and then they'd ball up the popcorn, dunk 'em in whatever this stuff was going to be, and do cute designs. Wait, was the designing BEFORE or AFTER Frigidus??? Gosh, remind her to revisit that recipe card. Her memory was T E R R I B L E. Magic, magic... WARMING MAGIC... To pass the time, Olphie had began humming As Long As You're Mine, shifting her gaze between the hourglass and bowl, respectively. Just thirty more seconds, it looked like.. There was only small amount of sand left... So...any moment...now...

...AND FIVE MINUTES. MISSION COMPLETED!

"Finite."...because that was the spell one used when they needed to kill a charm. Welp, she'd remembered that much, at least. Leaving their cooked popcorn in two separate bowls (because she had an idea), Olphaba poured the gooey contents into both. Evenly, which was a visual measurement...and may not have been that even at all. She'd done her best, in any event. "Roopunzel, I'm counting on you to butter your fingers, m'dear." See, her hands weren't green due to magic or gloves...but MAKEUP. So, if she greased up her fingers to mold these popcorn balls...Well, they would be green in the end. WICKEDLY GREEN. Olphaba thought this would be amusing, but...Olivia, on the other hand, knew they wouldn't be edible. Makeup was NOT for consumption! Actually, maybe they could add a touch of food coloring? Was any of that around? Then she could make hers look like.... Well, HER! Aww, perhaps they could make some that looked like the both of them! That was a cute idea, actually. Then they could preserve them (and not eat them) as souvenirs for her Rooney!box. Ahem, every respectable girl had a box dedicated to their person...didn't they? Well, if not, shame on them....... Dishonor on their cows.

Liv planned to paint one of them GREEN, anyway. Since it wouldn't be for eating purposes. ... The sauce was kind of a brown color, so what she could do was make it black (to match her fabulous wig), and simply do a candy!red smirk on the underside. So that it looked like her hair and mouth. FROM THE PLAYBILL. Yes, yes... Olivia knew what she would be doing. Carry on, carry on.

Oh, Roopunzel had finished in mashing them into balls.

Snagging one right off the top, so her fingers didn't compromise the rest of them, she set her plan into motion. First...to make it green. She was positive there was a charm for this, in the spirit of them being in ACTUAL Charms class. One that was safe for eating, as well... What was it again? OH. COLOVARIA! Yes, yes, very good. Colovaria.

Don't mind her over here. There was a full-scale art project in progress. Over the course of several minutes, the color-changing spell was uttered a half dozen times, each focused on a new aspect of this one popcorn ball. Oh, rest assured, she'd repeat the process for a few of them (maybe she'd gift them to her favorite professors)...but a prototype was needed, right? An example for the others to come...if Olphie had enough time....Too bad she didn't have a stick to peg into this thing. So it could be placed into a holder or something. To keep it perfect forever...

After finishing up, Madam Green refocused her energies, knowing there was only one thing left to do.... Drawling out the 'M'-shape, she exclaimed, "Frigidus!"

Emmeline was glad that Professor Marchand had come over just to compliment Stasya. That was soo nice of him! She grinned at the professor briefly before returning to their mixture.

Once Stasya said the time was up, Emmeline went ahead and poured the mixture over the popcorn, making sure to stir the popcorn a lot at the same time. She figured it was just easier to do that at this point, since she'd already been stirring and stuff.

"Okay, want to make 7 balls each? Cause we both have to do the other spell, I think," plus they were running out of time fast. She carefully spread some butter on her hands, which made them kinda slimy, and pulled out enough popcorn to make a small ball. She set it down and continued this process until she had 7 little balls. Then she grabbed some candy and tried to turn them into cat and crup faces. They didn't really look like that, but at least they'd be tasty. It was okay to eat these, right? Since they'd seen the ingredients themselves?

Okay, time for the cooling charm. Emmeline got up and washed her hands because a slimy wand would be gross. Once she had done that, she practiced the M wand movement a few times without the words.

Only 10 minutes left! Panicking slightly, Emmeline drew the M shape over her popcorn balls and said: "Frigidus!" A puff of cool air shot out of her wand but not nearly enough. She took a deep breath and tried the spell again: "Frigidus!" Annnd it worked! At least she thought the popcorn balls were cooling. She poked one to double check and yup, they were cool enough to eat. Turning to Stasya, she said kind of shyly: "Thanks for working with me!" Stasya was doing well with her popcorn balls too, yes?

Now that her popcorn was super nice and popped Kennedy looked at the next step. Interestingly enough it required a partner and Kennedy didn't really have one. So that meant that she needed to improvise! Yay improvisation. She could do that. If only she truly believed in herself. It would work fine. She was sure of it.

It was about to get a little complicated. But she put the butter into the other bowl. To the side she measured out the sugar, molasses, and salt. Kennedy might have stolen another bowl for it. But it would make it a lot easier.

"Calefacio," Kennedy said as she attempted to draw the horrendous flame again this time over her butter bowl. With her other hand she shakily poured the sugar, molasses, and salt into the butter bowl. "Calefacio" she said again trying to make sure the butter continued to melt.

With her undominant hand she shakily began to stir while still drawing the flame with her dominant hand. "Calefacio". It was sort of working.

"Calefacio!" Ava continued casting the heating charm over the corn bowl. Now the corn had been popped by her while Noelle was handling the sugar mixture. Good, it seemed like her partner did it well. Now the Gryffindor looked at the next step.

Quote:
Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired.
"Whenever you're ready." She said to Noelle.

She nodded when he mentioned taking care of the butter but said, "You should have more confidence, Derf. I'm sure you can do it better than me.".. which was true. She wasn't saying it just to be kind. Etta watched him carefully add the butter before he looked at her for clarification. "Yes, you're saying it right. Go on."

Etta smiled at him once more before proceeding to pour the necessary amount of corn into a bowl and pulling out her wand. She drew a flame-like shape with her wand over the bowl of kernel. "Calefacio." Soon enough, the kernels started to pop. She turned towards her partner once again, wondering if he'd managed to heat-up the butter.
Well she better believe it because he DID and it was a really pretty picture too!

"You're a champion not me," he reminded her with a boyish grin. A little bit of a sad one to be honest because it still STUNG a little, you know? Being told you were too. But he was TRYING not to think about it because it wasn't her fault he wasn't chosen. Nor was it Carl's. Who...he still didn't actually know but wanted his signature too. Legends in the making, you know.

Nodding as Etta confirmed he had the incantation right - YAY! - so at least he had a tiny bit of a confidence boost to work with. Clearing his throat, he pointed his want at the bowl with the butter and...er...HOW big was the flame tracing supposed to be? Bigger the trace the more powerful the spell could be...right? And since he WANTED to impress Etta...well...that meant BIG flame. And so it was with a VERY exaggerated and honestly quite flamboyant swish of the arm, the second year traced a three quaffle sized flame shape in the air. "Calefacio!"

At first the butter seemed to be melting at a pleasant pace. The perfect sort where it would not froth and make a mess...but it was fleeting. The charm's heat only seemed to intensify with each passing second until it was a bubbling boiling mess in the bowl and --

*SPLAT*


YOU GET SOME SCALDING BUTTER! AND YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU! BUTTER EVERYWHERE!

SPOILER!!: recipe just as a check list

Ingredients
2 cups unpopped popcorn
1 tablespoon butter

1 cup white sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt


Directions

Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).

In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes.

Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired.

Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!

Gaston looked at his students. Most of the groups still ahdn't finished the activity, and his heart sank, Ha he given them too much work? Or not enough time? He wanted to give them more time, but... He glanced at his watch. Class was over, there was no way around it. "And time is up!" he said for all the class to hear. "If you haven't finished yet, you may take your materials with you to finish on your own time -"

SPLAT!

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Ashbury-Hawthorne's heating charm went awry, and hot butter was everywhere! The professor-turned-pirate's bright blue eyes widened in panic as he drew his wand and made the butter covering him vanish before any harm could be done. Oh, no! No one had gotten burned by that, had they? He'd never forgive himself! "Is anyone injured?" he cried, his frightened eyes darting around the room.

OOC: I'm so sorry, but I have to end the lesson now. If you didn't complete the activity, you can take your materials with you to finish if you wish. I'll leave the thread open for 24 MORE HOURS for those who want to post their charries leaving/reacting to the butter incident.

One moment...she'd been putting the finishing touches on yet ANOTHER Olphaba popcorn ball, fully decked out with green skin, red pout, and ebony hair....She'd quickly made her entire batch into Wicked themed treats before this final one...and had thought to do a special one for Roopunzel, as well...but then....

ACK! SOMETHING BLISTERING HAD JUST HIT HER RIGHT IN HER GREEN CHEEK.

Olph-- scratch that. OLIVIA WAS SCREECHING!

HER FACE! HER FAAAAAAACE!

Oh, gosh. Was her character coming to life? Had she, perhaps, been too convincing as Elphaba?! WAS SHE MELTING?!?!?!?!

Melbourne heard the SPLAT and looked up in time to feel the sizzling liquid burn into her skin. MERLIN’S BURNING….what was this? She whimpered as she looked around her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at her hand – her wand hand. This was going to be hard but then she heard it.

She didn’t even CARE that the tears were starting to spill down her cheek. Her fingers were burning as she still held her wand tightly, her skin she could swear she heard it sizzling. She wasn’t screeching not anymore, her lips were tightly closed as she whimpered slightly.

She hissed out slightly as she poked at the buttered flesh…this was not fun at all…wait, was that crying? Liv. Liv was in pain. ”Liv – do you want to go to the healer with me?” Mel asked as she was planning on heading to see Healer McSizzle — oh wait…maybe that nickname was a bad idea after all considering that was what her hand was sort of doing.

Before Gaston had time to assess whether or not he'd been injured by the butter explosion, he heard SCREAMING! His heart dropped, and he had to push the rising feelings of guilt and panic aside. The screaming was coming from Miss Phillips. He was at the girl's side instantly, wand drawn. "Hold still!" he said gently and with a wave of his wand, made the butter that had splashed her vanish.

"Anyone else splashed, come here and I'll vanish the butter off of you!" he shouted, hoping he'd be heard over the screaming.

SUMMER FOREVER

A champion. Etta blushed even more, pushing a few stray strands of hair behind her ears. That was a bit too much because she really didn't think of herself as a champion but.. oh, well. At least, she was glad that people were supporting her. Made her feel a lot better even if she'd never admit it.

But then, when she watched the younger boy cast the heating charm.. she could tell there was going to be trouble. The wand movement was over-the-top and the flame would definitely end up being way bigger than necessary.. NO. What was he even DOING? "Derf.." She started to speak but within the next second or two, the flame started to get more intense...... she grabbed Derf's hand to pull him back but unfortunately, it was too late. There was butter everywhere. SCALDING butter.

Some of it had hit her on the right arm and it burned like CRAZY but before she could attend to it, someone seemed to be in more pain that she was. She turned to find Liv screaming and there was Mel who seemed to be crying as well.. She frowned, eyeing Derf out of the corner of her eyes. WHAT HAD HE BEEN THINKING? Her eyes drifted down to her arm, to the spot where the butter hit her.. and it was turning bright red with every second. Okay, the pain was getting intense. She really wanted to scold him for being so careless but she knew he'd feel bad about it anyway so let it go. "It's alright, Derf. Be careful next time, okay?" She whispered softly.

She gritted her teeth, trying to ignore the pain momentarily. Liv and Mel needed attention first. She waited for them to get the butter vanished off them first before she raised a hand. "Professor, I need help." Who knew scalding butter could hurt so bad?

Melbourne was pleased when she saw Professor Marchand ridding Olivia of the hot butter. This was good, really, she didn’t want to see her classmate end up looking like a sizzling brisket no sireeee. Nope.

Still her feet moved slowly as she walked over to the Professor and gave him a small wary expression. ”I’m sorry about this Professor Marchand – its not your fault,” she spoke before adding, ”could you help with this?...its a bit…sizzly?” she explained as she could still smell the hairs on the back of her hand burning away as the hot butter touched them.

Next time she did this spell she was going to try reaaaaaaaally hard not to do something wrong and to make sure that no one got covered in sizzling butter. Still, this was definitely something she was going to use when she working at Alicia’s again in the summer before seventh year…hello who wouldn’t want treats that tasted ten bazillion times better because of magic?

Apparently she wasn’t needed to help with the pouring, since before Stasya could offer to help Emmeline had poured their mixture into the bowl of popcorn and already started stirring. All that was left was to make it all into balls, and she had nodded nearly at the same time she had heard Professor Marchand announce that the lesson was over. Well at least it looked like Emmeline had made her half of their popcorn mixture into balls. She let out a sigh, half tempted to ask if she could just finish up her balls right now. She was so close, after all, and she felt like she was one the professor’s good side sine he had just complimented her. That meant he shouldn’t have minded…

Except then Derf happened, and instead of raising her hand, Stasya had literally crawled underneath the table she and Emmeline had been working at to avoid getting hit by the splattering butter, and she stayed there, wide-eyed, as she heard Liv screaming and a couple other whimpers from others in the classroom. Maybe she didn’t need to make her popcorn balls right now. Except she did peek out from her shelter to make sure none of the butter had hit the bowl with her half of their popcorn mixture in it. And she then reached over and pulled the bowl down under the table with her, nibbling on little bits of semi-cooled candied popcorn. She’d heard the professor say they could bring their mix with them to finish, after all. She’d just heat it up again in a bit and then practice the cooling charm…or maybe now. Under the table. There was plenty of butter around, so she got some on her hands and made one tiny little ball out of a bit of the mix in her bowl, semi-cleaning her hands on the floor before taking her wand and making the little M shape. “Frigidus,” she whispered, breathing a little sigh of relief as she felt coolness coming from her wand and finishing the cooling process on her ball.

She’d just turn the rest into balls after class. But she wasn’t leaving until she knew the butter was gone.

Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

Gaston had just finished tending to Miss Phillips when Miss Sorin-Ward walked up to him. The sight of the burn on the back of her hand made his heart shatter, but he was quickly distracted from his rising guilt by her words. He couldn't believe it! He'd put her in danger and she was apologizing to him?! Not trusting his voice not to break if he spoke, he simply nodded and waved his wand over her injury. The butter vanished.

Another voice caught his attention, and his head whipped around in Miss Kramer's direction. She too had been burned, and this one looked particularly nasty! Gaston's hand trembled slightly as he gripped his wand tighter. He waved it over her right arm, and the scalding butter disappeared. He took a deep shuddery breath. "Miss Phillips, Miss Sorin-Ward, Miss Kramer, go to the hospital wing," he said, though he couldn't quite mask the catch in his voice. "I'll send word that you're coming."

But he'd forgotten until just now that he hadn't been able to produce a patronus since the fight with his father. Still he knew he had to try! He concentrated on his happy memory... the day he got his acceptance letter from Beaubatons, the day he learned that he was a wizard instead of the bad kid everybody thought he was. Expecto patronum! He waved his wand, and... nothing happened. Oh, but if you didn't get that letter, none of this would've happened, a nasty voice in the back of his mind taunted. You wouldn't have come here, you wouldn't have lost yout father, you wouldn't have put these innocent children in danger! It's no wonder they all despise you...

Gaston was becoming more panicked by the second. The memory he'd always used to cast a patronus hadn't worked! He couldn't do it... he'd failed his students when they needed him most! Self-loathing overwhelmed him. He just wanted to be alone, or better yet comforted by... the one person who didn't see him as a failure, the one person who was on his side no matter what. Feeling more empowered, he decided to try casting the patronus charm again, and this time a silver platupus materialized and glided off toward the hospital wing.

The professor turned his attention back to the class, his eyes scanning the room to assess the damage. He saw Miss Dalgaard-Volkova hiding under a table and gave her a small smile, relieved that she'd escaped injury. "Was anyone else burned?" he asked, drawing his wand to help at a moment's notice.

Who knew one tablespoon of butter could cause so much damage.

Certainly not this Hufflepuff, that was for sure.

He hardly felt Etta's hand on his arm when it had all happened. YELPING in agony and being the one closest to the bowl, the second year naturally received the bulk of the explosion. Thankfully most of it had hit his chest and therefore his robes, so that did not hurt all that much. But there still was a fair amount that had traveled further north to his face, burning his cheeks and forehead. Thankfully his first instinct had been to close his eyes so THOSE were safe. Although his eyelid did burn a little - growing more intense by the second. Actually, everywhere the butter had struck him was burning more and more by the second...but his pain was muted by the sound of someone screaming.

His eyes were already burning from reaction tears to the scalding butter on his skin...but now TEARS were escaping his eyes because of how heavy his little 12-year-old Hufflepuff heart felt from GUILT and basically numbed him of all other feeling.

And then whatever hadn't broken from seeing Abey like that in the healing seminar broke and THEN some. He didn't even hear Etta's words...but he would have told her that she was wrong. That it wasn't okay. Liv was screaming in pain because of him. The professor was shouting and running around like a crazy person because of him. That other older Gryffindor girl was hurt too, because of him. Etta was hurt because of him. Stasya was under the table hiding...because of him.

And there he was. Frozen on the spot.

Squinting out of one eye, he saw his wand in his hand and quickly threw his wand down on the floor.. His FWOOPER feather core wand...the sort rumored to make their owners crazy. Secreting from the nose and the eyes, Derf tried to clear his face of everything...but really all he did was end up smearing tears, snot, and butter all around his face.


".....I-I'ms-s-s-sorry....I-I-Ididn'tmeanto...I-I-I...I'ms-s-sorry..."

Could he...just disappear now?

Oh. It was a tricky wand movement. Oh... okay.

Well, that explained why nothing had been happening. Sort of. Maybe. Didn't it?

"Okay. Flame. Right. Thank you, Professor!" Abey replied with a little smile, before raising his own wand and practicing the wand movement a few times. A FLAME SHAPE, apparently, even though there was really a million ways that flames could look. Honestly. Abey had drawn and painted a lot of fire in his time.

Abey continued trying with the spell, still using his own botched incantation, and still yielding no results. He was frowning and huffing and SHAKING HIS WAND as though maybe there was a blockage of magic inside it, when...

D I S A S T E R

It was difficult to really know what was going on, other than people were hissing in pain and the professor was all dskjhhdskjgsdkjs!!!! and patronuses were being sent off and apparently people were injured. Burnt? Ohhhh... that made sense.

Being well out of the splash zone, Abey was quite alright and so only watched, eyes wide, as the low level chaos sort of erupted. Chaos... was not good for Abey. It made his brain start doing the thing which made his eyes start doing the leaking thing and his lungs start doing the panicking thing, but...

... but then he noticed Derf in the midst of everything. Derf, looking upset, Derf... looking like he was crying.

At once, Abey ignored his own panic, ignored everything else really, and all but launched himself up and out of his chair, which toppled over behind him. He crossed the room, painfully colliding with chairs and desks in his clumsy haste, into he was in the middle everything with a butter covered, upset Derf. Without a second thought, he invited himself closer so that he could just about fit himself on the edge of Derf's chair, and threw his arms around him, not caring about getting butter on himself or glitter and paint (from his costume) on Derf.

He didn't even say anything. Just hugged him tight.

The thought that Stasya had maybe wanted to pour the mixture over the popcorn hadn't occurred to Emmeline, really. She was fairly single minded at the best of times, and even more so when time was almost up and they had to finish and--

And then there was butter flying everywhere from the next table, and the first year cried out in pain as the scalding butter came in contact with her cheek, and all down her right arm and hand (the side closest to Derf's table). This stuff really HURT! It was burning already, and Emmeline was disturbed to smell hair burning from her arm. Fortunately, the butter hadn't splashed high enough to hit her eye, though it had totally drenched their table.

Tears sprung to the first year's eyes, and she gritted her teeth as hard as she could to keep more screams from escaping. Speaking of escaping, she was relieved to see that Stasya had been able to duck under the table just in time; her friend wasn't hurt, right?

But Derf was. Without Stasya and Etta sitting between her at the tables, she had a clear view of her Hufflepuff friend. The desolate expression on his face made Emmeline's heart hurt, though there wasn't any butter splashed on that. She had been about to jump up and go over to him when Abey had come barreling through to do just that. Good.

Still, the room was in chaos and Professor Marchand hadn't seemed to notice her friend's injuries. Emmeline got up slowly, trying to hold her burnt arm/hand super still, and walked to the table next door so that she was standing next to the boys.

"P-Professor!", she called urgently. Her voice wasn't too steady, because it was hard to talk properly when she felt like she was on fire and tears were streaming down her face. "D-derf nee..needs h-help!" And she wasn't moving from this spot until he got it, nope. There was butter ALL over Derf's face, and judging from how much her face hurt just from the cheek down, he must be in a LOT of pain. And, she was sure all that butter on his robes might soak through to his skin and this whole thing was too much for the Gryffindor. She hated seeing her friends hurt when she couldn't DO anything about it more than anything in the whole world.

She hoped she wasn't making him feel worse by standing here, because of course he'd feel guilty; Derf was the most gentle person ever, how could he not? Even though he shouldn't. But she couldn't leave him and Abey until the professor had healed him, she just couldn't.

"I-it's not..." she paused and started again, trying to make her voice sound at least somewhat normal. "It's not..y-your fault. Every...everyone m-messes u-up sp-spells." It was just bad luck that it was a heating spell, and butter liked to splash places when it melted. And then it was back to gritting her teeth again to keep from making more stupid noises from the stupid pain, hoping the professor would come over soon.

Alright! The butter was melted. Yes. "I'll make the mixture now," said Olivia as she measured out the quantities of salt, molasses, and white sugar. Olivia then added them to the mixture and began mixing it al together. Then she made sure to use the heating charm, drawing the flame above the mixture as she repeated the incantation, and then applying the heat evenly to the mixture.

Perfect! It looked great. Then all of a sudden, a bubble burst in the mixture, sending hot butter onto Olivia's arm and over towards Skylar. Uh oh! Save yourself Skylar.

Olivia winced, retracing her arm away, and dropping her wand. Biting her lip, she grabbed her wand and then cast augmenti on the burn. Cold, cold water. Maybe that'd help?

"Professor! I think we'll need some assistance too!"
