There is a sign hanging outside the DADA classroom, under the rules and near the homework board.

"Attention Students! If you are interested in joining a Defense organization established by Professor Rae, please read the following:

Professor Rae will be meeting during the course of the term with students who would like to begin their Defense training. Subject matter will include a variety of spells and skill sets that are included in actual Auror training.

If you are interested, please PM the professor and she will add your name to the member list. Points will be given to those members who manage to practice and master these spells and skills, and at the end of the term, those who earn enough points will be rewarded with a medal and the title of Auror-in-Training."

The "class" list is as complete as it will be for now. You may not join as there is no chance for you to earn your five points. In addition, if your name used to be up here but is now gone, it means that you have missed the four first lessons and you've been cut. There is no way for those people to get their points. The number tells you how many lessons you've been to; the color is just for my referencing... don't worry about it.
</span>

Cassirin 06-28-2004 05:39 AM

Professor Rae opened the door to the classroom and let a few students in who had been waiting outside. "Attention students! This is the first meeting of the Young Aurors' Club, and I would like to take this chance to explain to you how it will run. First, the lessons will be taught by myself and Professor Adrie, along with other professors who have offered your help. At no time will I be putting a student in charge, although I encourage you to assist each other when the need arrives."

"In order to receive the medal at the end of the term, you must earn a total of five points. You earn the point by attending a lesson and mastering the skill or spell. Some lessons will simply have the professor presenting the lesson and then allowing you time to practice, others might be a bit more interactive. There will PROBABLY be a total of seven or eight YAC lessons, although that is subject to change depending on our schedules. That means you can only miss two before you have no chance of receiving your medal. Once you've missed three, I will remove your name from the list of members. You may still learn the lessons - in fact anyone may participate in the lessons, but you will not be considered an Auror In Training."

"If your name is not on the list, it might just mean I haven't transcibed your name from the owl you sent. Please me patient with me. I won't forget you. I will be leaving the classroom open for about two days or until participation has dropped off. You must make it YOUR responsibility to check on the YAC lessons; I will not PM you a notice or baby you by posting it in your common room. Aurors need to be smart, capable, and organized, so I will treat you in such a way."

Cassirin 06-28-2004 05:51 AM

"Our first lesson, Furture Aurors, will be on readiness. Specifically WAND readiness. All too often I see wands tucked into hair styles, book bags, pockets, and other places where they are hard to reach and impossible to find in an emergency. In fact, I had an encounter with a student who had to pat down his robes then search through his bag to finally conclude that he had left his wand on his bedside table. No Death Eater is going to wait for you to find your wand, and Voldemortist isn't going to send you back to your dorms with a hall pass. You must be vigilant, and you must be prepared."

"You may have noticed that I myself carry my wand in my braid. To be honest, I spent almost a year perfecting my technique to pull my wand instantly." She shifted her hand only slightly and it looked as if the wand appeared there by magic. "I don't recommend carrying it there, although that is a fair enough spot to put it during class or while studying. I wouldn't even do it then if you have a habit of shooting sparks from your wand accidently... hair is actually more flammable than you think," she grinned.

"Take this time to find a place you can carry your wand and a way you can pull your wand to make the best use of your time and resources. Consider all your options, and don't be afraid of trial and error. I'll be moving among you to help if needed. Think of it as the Muggle cowboys used to call it... 'the quickdraw.'"

spacepirate4 06-28-2004 06:24 AM

"Is it possible to store my wand inside a loose inside jacket-like pocket, and just wear the jacket all the time?" Jill asked. "Sticking it half inside my pants like a pistol in a holster sounds.. appropriate too," Jill smiled. "The wand would be loose enough to grab, and comfortably placed so sitting feels normal. Of course, I'd have to practice placement."

swedishharrypotterfan 06-28-2004 07:18 AM

*Lina starts looking down, examinging her clothes. She tries putting the wand in her robe pocket where she ususally keeps it, but now it somehow feels more unsafe, not to mention the risk of breaking it. Instead, she tries to put it up her sleeve, but it won't stay in there. She raises her hand*

Professor, would it be a good idea to make some sort of holder inside my sleeve and keep the wand there?

potter girl 06-28-2004 07:25 AM

Jenna nodded in agreement with lina As she pulled her wand from behind her ear where she usually kept it. It some how didn't feel quickly accessible anymore.

Mrs. Weasley 06-28-2004 07:26 AM

I don't know if putting your wand in a pocket is such a good idea- particularly not your back pocket. Professor Moody warns against doing that. What if you wand suddenly ignites, you could lose part of your rear end. Of course, I haven't heard of many cases of that happening.

I generally keep my wand in the right hand pocket of my robe. The pockets are deep, so the wand is easily hidden. Plus the large opening makes it easy to remove it when necessary. Professor, is it a good idea to get into the habit of exposing one's wand in public like you do. What if you run into a muggle, won't you have a hard time explaining why you are wearing a wand in your hair? Also, do you really think we need to carry our wands at all times when we are in Hogwarts? After all, students aren't allowed to use their wands in the hallways between classes, and I hardly thing Voldemortist is going to be attacking us at school. Do you?

Aschere_Tonks 06-28-2004 07:59 AM

Aschere raised her hand. "Professor, ever since I saw that duel between the Headmaster and Mr. Jerome in last year's Yule Ball, I've practiced storing my wand up my sleeve and retrieving it quickly, " she stopped for a second as if thinking very hard, then picked up her bag and rummaged through it for her wand. Taking it out, she mumbled, "Although I don't keep it in a very convenient place right now..."

Didymus 06-28-2004 08:19 AM

Didymus picked up her wand and placed it up her sleeve.
She let go of the sleeve rim quickly then caught her wand as it slid out.
She practised this,speeding it up every so often.

geraldinechang 06-28-2004 09:38 AM

Geraldine stands next to Aschere and tries to put her wand in a more easy access place.

*she tried sticking it in her hair but she poked her head loads of time*

*she tried sticking it in her sleeve but it slipped out of the other end and made Aschere and her searching the whole room for it*

*she gave up and tuck it in her left side pocket on the inside of her robe*

*she tried pulling it out and keeping it and out of 10 tries,she managed to pull it out 10 times without dropping it and keeping it 8 times without dropping it(the other two, she couldn't find the pocket quick enough and accidentally poked herself and she let go of her wand*

*raises hand*

Professor, I think I've found mine!

LiTaHaNNiBaL04 06-28-2004 10:29 AM

:Pulls wand out from cloak pocket in one swift motion: "I've also noticed Professor that wearing a wand holster under ones muggle clothing can prove handy when undercover or on assignment. What do you think?"

secret_garden32000 06-28-2004 03:33 PM

I think I would like my wand up my sleeve...

*Chris starts to practice retrieving the wandby sliding it down the sleeve, and catching it....*

Professor, I have a question. Couldn't a wizard or witch put a Disillusion Charm onto the wand, but make it so that he/she would be able to see it?

ashpg_hermione 06-28-2004 03:49 PM

*thinks for a moment*

"I think I'll have my wand inside my robe wand placement pocket which is the place where you can pull out your wand easily. Then all I need to do is pull it out."

*places wand inside the wand placement pocket and in second takes it out*

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 06-28-2004 03:50 PM

Nadia takes her wand in her hands and ponders the matter. True, she never caerd where she kept her wand, maybe on a robe pocket or something of the likes. Then her memory shows her a good ideas as to where to put such instrument. She searches in her bag and finally takes a magazine.

"Professor," Nadia says, raising her hand, "I've a good idea as to where to put our wands, though it's not a cheap way. I've heard of this special belts for wizards; they can carry a wizard's potions, magic scrolls and even a magic wand! They are especially prepared and the wand cannot backfire because it's folded. The potions are securely tied to the belt and so are the scrolls: nothing can fall because there's sticking spells and such all over it.

"Again, the only problem is that the wizard's belt is kinda expensive and not everybody has that much money, and if you are not planning on becoming an Auror or something alike the belt can be pretty useless. Here, take a look -" Nadia reaches down and gives the magazine with the advertisment to the professor, "here's everything you might wanna need to know about the belt... I'm thinking on buying one myself, if I get to be good enough in this maybe."

cooly_s 06-28-2004 04:07 PM

*thinks...thinks....thinks...*
"Proffessor", Katie said, "isn't it the easiest to keep it in the opposite wand-hand inside pocket of the robe? I mean, if I'm right-handed, wouldn't it be the easiest for me to keep it there? But I don't think there is a specific place for a wand... each posessor should find their own place... where they feel it's safe. I think that an Auror must action not on rules, but on instinct, am I right?

lightstar1154 06-28-2004 05:06 PM

Actually, my wand hand being my right hand, I find it easier to put it into my left hand robes pocket. Plus I have been doing so long that changing it now would be sort of confusing...

*Sarah stands away from the crowd and practices walking along at odd moment and pulling out her wand*

Singularity 06-28-2004 05:09 PM

Sarah grins and takes out her wand
I always keep my wand in my left robe pocket, as I am right handed and it makes for easier acess. I'm always using my wand, and this saves a lot of time.

Mrs. Weasley tries lightstars1154's suggestion and puts her wand in her robe's left hand pocket. She then tries pulling out. "You know your right!" she say, " I do find it easier with my wand in the left pocket. I never thought of that."

spacepirate4 06-28-2004 06:34 PM

Jill stood regularly, wand half tucked inside her pants along her right hip. She sat down, casually using her tricep to angle the wand forward so sitting would still feel normal as if she was wandless. After a moment, she stood back up, hand flying up her hip and grabbing her wand...
But the force of her grab wasn't strong enough, and the wand loosened down her pants. Jill shook out her pant leg, and took a deep sigh to try again.
"Grab with your palm, keep your fingers loose," Jill instructed herself in her thoughts as she fit her wand in its place. Her hand flew again to her side, palm moving up against her wand and sliding it out of her pants...
But her fingers slipped on the finishing grab as the over amount of force she used sent the wand flying a couple of feet. Jill grumbled, and retrieved it. She found her wand place, but mastering quickdraw was harder than it looked. Jill got into position again. She walked around the room casually, and upon turning, her hand swiped up her side. The wand flew out and Jill's fingers quickly tightened around the wand. It almost dropped; almost - Jill held her wand up front at the ready. She smiled in satisfaction.
"Professor, there are these special Muggle guards called cops, or agents. They conceal their weapons in their jackets, or use the element of a jacket to hide their weapon. Can the same work with Aurors?" Jill asked, hoping her question sounded clear.

memommy27 06-28-2004 07:29 PM

Jerri seemed very excited as she rummaged through her bag. "Now I know why dad gave me this." Jerri pulled out a very strange leather bracelet like object and started attaching it to her right arm. When she was done she placed her wand into two tight loops of leather that were attached to the wrist guard. The wand when placed stayed in place along the inside of her forearm and with a quick flex of her wrist her wand was at the ready in her hand. "This is so cool. My dad gave it to me this past summer. He said it might come in handy what with all the problems at Hogwarts last term. I had no idea what he was talking about then but I do now." Jerri thought to herself 'must remember to write to dad and thank him'. As she walked about the room Jerri would every so often give a flick of her wrist (like the muggle superhero Spiderman) and her wand was instanty in her hand. The first couple of times it flew right out and onto the floor. Then Jerri realised that she needed to curl her last three fingers just so, about an inch from the palm of her hand. This allowed her to catch the wand as it came out of the holder rather than just let it fly out and hit the ground. When she look more closely at the wrist guard, that was covered nicely by the sleeve of her robe, when she flexed her wrist the two loops holding the wand got slightly bigger. Also the end of the guard pushed against the wand creating the force that caused the wand to fling out. "So cool. I should go show Jill." SHe walked over to Jill to show her the cool gift from her dad.

Siriusly_in_Love 06-28-2004 07:39 PM

I made a long pocket on the side of every pair of pants I own and I store my wand in it at all times. I made my pocket on the left side, as I happen to be left handed, and I find it easier to just reach down and grab it. I've been doing it for about a year now and I'm pretty quick with it. I also have a pocket sewn into each right sleeve of my robes to store my wand... in that case it's easier to reach across.

potter girl 06-28-2004 08:21 PM

Jenna placed her wand in the right inside pocket of her robe and tried to quickly draw her wand with her left hand. Her first attempt she couldn't quite find the pocket. then after several attempts that sent her wand sailing halfway across the room. She finally got the hang of it and was able to pull her wand in one motion rather quickly.

*Sarah smiles at Mrs. Weasley*

You know, it probably is just because it is easier to swing your arm across and be ready than it is to pull up and out and be ready. I think I have the hang of this...

*Sarah finds a desk and sits down waiting for more instruction*

spacepirate4 06-29-2004 01:16 AM

Jill found if she pushed her wand out with the bottom of her wrist, grabbing it tightly with the tips of her fingers, her quickdraw worked really well - if done correctly, of course, but she seemed to be getting better. Jill would quickdraw, then twirl her wand inbetween her fingers playfully in satisfaction.
"I'm getting better," she smiled at the thought, placing her wand away only to draw it again. The illusion looked like semi-realistic magic. "I'm not as fast as Professor Rae, but I'm getting there - I learn really quickly."

witchesrulle1254 06-29-2004 02:47 AM

*Fiona grabs her wand from a bracelet she has on her arm. She also has a bracelet type thingy around her leg so she can put her wand there if needed*

dobby1989 06-29-2004 03:05 AM

"Well I always have my wand in my right pocket, since im left handed," Claire says.
"I can't think of any other place that would make drawing out my wand faster..."

ronslilpyro 06-29-2004 03:50 AM

Feesha tried pulling her wand out of her pocket on the left (since she was right handed) and she was able to do it pretty quick, although a little too quick that her wand went flying a few times at first, "Sorry!" But the more she practiced the better she got, "Hey I think I'm getting this!" Eventually she was getting really good! Feesha smiled at her progress!

hpgirl476 06-29-2004 03:58 AM

Becca took her wand out of her neat bun and stuck it in her left pocket. She knew that she could be able to pull it out fast. She did it on the train going home last term. She was about to curse a girl but she left. She had done this also several times on her sisters. She giggled a little bit and grabbed her chest. She was hoping no one saw that she grabbed her chest. She pulled her wand out of her left pocket quickly and smiled. She wanted to be able to pull it out of her hair, but she just stayed with her left pocket for now.

ronslilpyro 06-29-2004 04:16 AM

Feesha turned and noticed Becca, )Feesha hadn't been paying attention and her wand went flying as she tried to pull it out,) Feesah noticed Becca grab her chest, "Are you ok, your still hurt form the whomping willow arn't you?" she whispered to Becca

hpgirl476 06-29-2004 05:41 AM

"Yeah. I can live through it. I have been. It has been getting a little better. It is no big deal," Becca whispered back. Becca smiled at Feesha.

ronslilpyro 06-29-2004 05:48 AM

Feesha smiled back at Becca "ok then, I hope that you recover fully soon though" Then she continued with prcticing her quick removing wand task.

She was getting really good, her wand no longer went flying and she continued to get quicker with each try

swedishharrypotterfan 06-29-2004 06:33 AM

*Lina found a spell that created a small loop inside the right sleeve of her robe. When she puts her wand in there it stays put, but with the flick of her hand, it comes out immediately. She practices the flick a couple of times, and misses catching the wand the first times. But after some tries, she manages to catch the wand and it appears as though the wand came out of nowhere. She smiles brightly* I think this is gonna work!

spacepirate4 06-29-2004 06:46 AM

Jill looked up, and smiled at Jerri. She noticed Becca clutch her chest.
"Hey Becca, you ok?" Jill walked over, wondering if the Gryffindor remembered her. "Wanna have a quickdraw contest? To see how our quickdraws are coming out," she smiled playfully. "Would you like to referee?" Jill turned to the other Gryffindor standing next to Becca. "Hi, I'm Jill," she waved in introduction.

Siriusly_in_Love 06-30-2004 12:44 AM

That is a good idea - to carry two wands. Better to be prepared.

Um... professor, how many points do we need to have to become an auror?

MadEye2004 06-30-2004 12:47 AM

I have a specially designed robe that allows me to pick up my wand and use it in a time of one second. I just pull it out of of my left sleeve's specially designed wand case which is very quick to pull out and is very safe to use as well. (They can be found somewhere in Diagon Alley).

" :lol: See, we aren't becoming aurors, just winning an aurors-in-training tittle and medal for our effort - medals we will win if we get sufficient points. Go to the rules board to read more carefully if you have any doubts. But, again, the professors cannot make us Aurors, only make us be preppared to be one. The ministry is the one who has to give you the job... once you are grown up and have all your OLWs and NEWTs and every thing asked to be one :huh: " Nadia said quite humored.

"So, while waiting to have one of those belts I mentioned... I think I could use with robes-pockets... the only thing about it is that it would be kinda uncomformable, and not quite as fast... maybe we should create our own wand-carrying belts, with transfiguration, immitating one of those belts muggle police use - you know; the one which goes wrapped on the torso... somewhat they made it so that the muggle gun wouldn't fire up and hurt them, so we should use that same mechanism. Does some body know how they do it? I know there's like this gun-cover... maybe a magical wand-cover that stops spells for firing up, but that's too complicate a spll for is to know, so... " *melodramatically* "Have no choice: have to go back to the buying of this belt in Diagon Alley!!"

=P *overhears MadEye2004* "Did you really? Care to ease me the information? I might buy it as well. By the sound of it it's quite similar to the belt I was talking about just earlier so maybe they are bought in the same place (ooc: actually the magical scroll/wand/potion-carring belt is an invention from D&D, not mine :lol: )

Cakecookie 06-30-2004 07:47 AM

Looks at her wand confidently and ponders on where to place it. Previously she kept it in her pocket but she decides to try something different this time. Dahlia holds her wand up high and pushes it through her hair..."perhaps with some practice..." she thinks and begins drawing her wand out and placing it back in several times. After a few more times, Dahlia ends up leaving it tightly wraped in a bun.

angelwings 06-30-2004 09:12 AM

"My sister, she graduated years ago, taught me something over the summer and it's kinda cool." Eric plucked a piece of hair, concentrated and snapped his fingers. The piece of hair soon turned into his wand.

anirihp4ever 06-30-2004 09:25 AM

Well, my mother thought I might have this issue to deal with so she performed this little spell to my wand. When I say the word "bend" my wand becomes as flexible as rubber. Then I can put it anywhere rather easily. Sometimes I put it in the belt loops of my jeans. When I snap it, it returns to normal. It's quite handy, but I forgot what spell it was that she used, so I hope it doesn't wear off. :whisle:

spacepirate4 06-30-2004 08:01 PM

Jill sat down.
"An Auror must be ready for anything," she thought. "I should get to quickdrawing in any situation, including sitting," Jill concluded. It was pretty difficult to quickdraw, not to mention uncomfortable, while sitting. Jill sat down, pushing her tricep to angle her wand so sitting would be comfortable. "Now how to quickdraw like this...?" Jill wondered. She smiled. She grabbed the bottom of her wand with the tips of her finger, and curved-shot it out into the open, closing her fingers and palm at the end to hold her wand firmly in place.
"Yay! I did it!" Jill brightened. "What if I'm lying down?" Jill immediately lay down. "Hmmm.." Jill pondered, then lit up. She whacked the bottom of her palm against the bottom of her wand, swinging her legs underneath her with enough momentum to bring her body to its feet. A few things happened: Jill tripped over her feet and landed back on the floor - hard - and her wand clattered uselessly a few feet beside her.
"Well, that didn't work," Jill reached over and grabbed her wand. "Ow, my bum..." she thought. "Let's do that again," Jill concentrated. Her wrist whacked against the butt of her wand as she shifted her weight forward, her feet jumping to the ground as her hand firmly gripped against her right side. Not sooner did Jill stand did her wand hand shoot straight, wand at the ready. Jill smiled.

Aschere_Tonks 06-30-2004 08:25 PM

"Woah, Jill that's cool! - you're getting there," Aschere grinned. Jill was right - it was impossible to get a wand out of your sleeve if you're sitting down.

ooc: believe me - I've ACTUALLY tried!

In every other way, up the sleeve seemed perfect. It was an absolutely inconspicious action - all you had to do was straighten the bend in your arm and let the wand slide out into your fingers behind your back if you wanted to take it out quietly. It could also shoot out in less than a second if you jerked your arm straight... if you practiced, which Aschere did a couple of times. After quite a few slips, she found that it was easier to let the wand shoot through your fingers, but to keep contact with it and tighten the grip at just the right moment.
Really having fun with her wand now, Aschere tried to think of a situation in which she'd need to access her wand quickly. Striding towards an imaginary mountain troll, she swung her arm down in an arc, and in a smooth movement brought it to point the wand between the troll's eyes. Minor problem being that the wand itself had shot across the classroom. Practice, practice...!

potter girl 06-30-2004 08:49 PM

Jenna walked a few feet across the room apologizing to several people who had ducked out of the way as her wand sailed across the room.

" Sorry."Jenna said as she picked up her wand then continued to practice after a few more attempts she had managed to hold on to her wand and and was improving with her speed.

Professor Rae finished making her rounds, and claps her hands. "Alright students, that's enough for today. Thank you for your hard work, and I hope you got some good ideas. If you have any questions, you can owl me or come by my office."



ooc: After I lock this door... you can't post again on the ended lessons, which means if you did NOT do this lesson, then you just didn't. Don't worry. There will be another up soon... but I'm not saying when.

Cassirin 07-05-2004 07:06 PM

Professor Rae opened the door to the classroom, letting a few students inside with her. "I'm glad to see some of you returned!" she said warmly, as she pushed the desks against the far wall with a wave of her wand.

"Now, one of the first keys to being an Auror is that you must always be on the defensive. One of my favorite spells to use is Protego, the shield spell. Last term, my students did learn this spell, but I think we could all benefit from the practice. The incantation is PROTEGO, and it causes a temporary shield to block incoming objects and spells. A stronger spell, such as the Killing Curse, would still pass through it. There are also varying degrees of strength to the shield. A beginner like you all are will probably cause a shield that blocks only, although a more advanced wizard's shield would completely deflect the spell. Sometimes it shoots back at the caster."

"Find someone to work with and cast small, easy spells at to practice your Protego, but do NOT use any dangerous spells. I will be coming around and shooting Expelliarmus at those of you who don't have a partner." She moved off to begin working with students.

Riiya looks around for someone to be her partner...she then sees Didymus.

she walks over to her and asks, "hi. can we be partners?who knows, we can be a good team..."

"I'll be your partner Didymus" Andrew says as he puts down his broom. "I've just come from Quidditch tryouts"

"You want to block first? I'll try to disarm you" Andrew stands in front of his partner and readys himself. "Just tell me when your set"

Siriusly_in_Love 07-05-2004 08:47 PM

Whoa... that was neat.

Riiya turns to Andrew and smiled and replied, "sure...this is my first Auror class, so go easy on me please :lol: i just got back from the hospital wing.."

She then walks over to him and says, "my names Riiya. whats yours?" as she exdends her hand.

Wayfarer 07-05-2004 09:28 PM

"i am Andrew and I am a Gryffindor" he says as they shake hands.

They move apart and bow. When both are ready they begin.

Andrew turns and faces Riiya, "Expelliarmus" he shouts. Care to follow the correct want arc and speed.

*Lina looks around the room to find a partner, but everyone seemed to be busy. She turns to the professor and asks her to perform the spell instead. As the Professor casts "Expelliarmus" on her, Lina waves her wand and yells "Protego"! Her wand shivers slightly in her hand, but she had managed to deflect the spell. She smiles*

That was cool!

*looks around the room to see how everyone else is doing*

Andrew turns and faces Riiya, "Expelliarmus" he shouts. Care to follow the correct want arc and speed.

"aah!-wait-im-not-ready!" Riiya says, but Andrew had already cast the spell. as if it was natural, Riiya placed her right foot back and drew out her wand from her left side hip with her left at the same time.

in an instant, Riiya shouted, "Protego!" with an odd facial expression. as if she was calm...when Andrews spell touched her shield, Riiya instantly continued, "Expelliarmus!" and a shot of purple stream went zooming back at Andrew.

"aaah!watch out!" Riiya added as her spell was casted.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 07-05-2004 11:30 PM

*looks around* I'm free. I can be your partner, Lina - there's a trio going on but they seem to be doing well enough :ermsmile:

*confronts and gets ready* I'll do the offensive first, then you do the defensive. Ready?

PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!

*light shoots from Nadia's wand towards Lina...*

swedishharrypotterfan 07-05-2004 11:49 PM

*As Nadia casts the spell, Lina lifts up her wand and shouts "PROTEGO". A small glowing shield shoots out from the tip of her wand, and Nadia's spell bounces off*

I think I need to work on getting a larger shield, but at least it worked! *smiles* Ok, now your turn!

*Gets ready and points her wand at Nadia*

EXPELLIARMUS!

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 07-06-2004 12:25 AM

Nadia opposes her wand to Lina, vertically, and so that the spell is at 90 grades from the ground, and shouts, "Protego!"

The spell bounces and, as planned, is re-directed to Lina... It was as if they were playing pin-pon with the spells!

coolant661 07-06-2004 03:05 AM

Mike_The_Mighty 07-06-2004 03:12 AM

Wow, that was a powerful one. Nice job! See if you can handle this

EXPELLIARMUS

demented_death_eater 07-06-2004 03:44 AM

In a lightning quick motion, Kay's wand appears in her hand and she shouts, "PROTEGO!" She watches in amazement as a small glowing shield shoots out from the tip of her wand, blocking Dahlia's spell just before it hits her.

demented_death_eater 07-06-2004 03:49 AM

"Wow!" Kay exclaims. "Dahlia, are you ready?" Kay waits a moment and then points her wand at Dahlia. "EXPELLIARMUS!" she shouts in a firm voice and waits for Dahlia to block her spell....

dobby1989 07-06-2004 03:54 AM

Professor Rae stands a good distance away from me and shouts expelliarmus.
A second before it hits I say "PROTEGO," and it seems to work. I stubble back just a step but stay on my feet. Proffessor does it once more and this time I shout "PROTEGO" and then the spell bounces off completly.

Riiya 07-06-2004 07:22 AM

After Andrew casts his Progeto spell, smiled and casted another expelliarmus spell towards Riiya. She then waved her wand in a strict manor and shouted, "PROGETO!"

a light blue oval smoke was formed. when the expelliarmus hit the oval smoke, it seemed that it bounced off it as if it was rubber and shot up towards the ceiling. the impact of of the expelliarmus on the progeto had pushed Riiya off her feet. she landed hard on her bottom...

"auueeii..." she said as landed on the hard floor...

Aschere_Tonks 07-06-2004 08:22 AM

Aschere waits Professor Rae to come round to her. As she sees the Professor pointing her wand at her, Aschere whips out her wand, ready to defend herself.
"... :blink: ..." WHAT was the spell agai... "Oof!" Aschere ended up on the floor, winded, and her wand flew out of her hand as the spell hit her.
"Protego. Protego, Protego!" she muttered to herself grumpily as she bent double, searching the floor for her wand.

MadEye2004 07-06-2004 10:46 AM

*Adam yells "Protego!" as someone hits an Expelliarmus curse at him. This time the Shield Charm is effective and his wand stays in his hand.*
Wow! I think I'm getting better at this!

Mike_The_Mighty 07-06-2004 10:50 AM

* prof rae just out of nowhere shot a spell at me and i was a quick a lightning and completle defelected the spell right back at her and she just absorbs it. *

angelwings 07-06-2004 10:55 AM

Eric tried to stay calm as the Professor made her way towards him. Quickly, he took out his wand and yelled, "PROTEGO!". The shield shattered but the spell was absorbed, not injuring him. He breathed a sigh of relief.

After Riiya falls to the ground Andrew stops and walks foward offending his hand to help her up. "That was a good exchange. Rapid fire is like a real duel would be. Sorry, about the force behind my spell, I didn't mean to use that much."

Andrew picks up Riiya wand, that had dropped to floor, "Here's your wand."

They move back to their position and continue to practice. Riiya hits Andrew with a disarming that he is slow in blocking and his wand flys several feet from him across the room. Andrew without pause dives for the wand and shoots "Expelliarmus" back at her almost as soon as he has the wand back in his hand.


[ooc: Riiya I am in the UK that is way it took so long to response to your post. I was asleep.]

serenasnape 07-06-2004 01:25 PM

Serena practiced drawing her wand quickly as Professor Rae came closer... then it was her turn. "Expelliarmus" shouted Professor Rae pointing her wand at Serena as she shouted in return, "Protego!" "Wow, Professor, I've never used that one before and it really does work! I did it!" :whisle:
Serena continued to practice hoping to strenghthen her shield charm even more.

phoenixtears489 07-06-2004 01:56 PM

Prof. Rae comes close and yells Expelliarmus. Sonam stands
ready and shouts Protego concentrating and hoping her spell will work.

Sonam's wand shot out of her hand. She sighs frustrated but picks it up and rubs it with her robes. She holds it up at the ready again and stares determined at the Professor. She yells I]Expelliarmus[/I] as I yell Protego. This time my spell works. Satisfied I sit back down for a little rest.

Aschere_Tonks 07-06-2004 02:24 PM

"Thanks, GC," Aschere grins reluctantly. Shaking her head vigorously, as if to shake out any remaining cobwebs, she grins a little wider. "Sure - partners then. Why don't I cast the Disarming spell at you first - maybe I'll get the Shield spell a little better after a bit of a break!"
Aschere takes a few staps backwards and brings out her wand. "Ready...? EXPELLIARMUS!"

geraldinechang 07-06-2004 02:29 PM

Pro..*her wand flies out of her hand*
Hmmm...I wasn't ready...

Geraldine: Shall we try again?
Aschere: Okay...*take a few steps back and turn around violently as if she was going to fall*Jelly Legs!!!
Geraldine: PROTEGO!!!
Aschere: *moves away from her previous spot to avoid being hit by the spell*
Geraldine: Wow!!That was fun!Lets try again!Your turn now....*sees Aschere put her wand down and takes her by surprise*
Aschere: PROTEGO!!
Geraldine: Excellent!Some more!!Some more!!

Aschere_Tonks 07-06-2004 02:39 PM

"Could I have one more try, Geraldine?"
As Geraldine Chang nods, Aschere readies herself. She could do this...
"tarantagella!" Geraldine shouts.
"Protego!" Aschere had raised her wand and blocked the spell squarely. She didn't manage to deflect it totally, but it missed her all the same. "Oh, yay! I did it!" she laughs.

How did you do that? That was awsome!

Wayfarer 07-06-2004 05:06 PM

Andrew and Riiya continue to practice each time they take to move from one spell to another quicker. Readiness is a valid key and they want to be able to handle several shielding charms in a row.

Riiya moves quickly to her left and hit Andrew squarely her Disarming Charm and he trips as he attempts to block it and lands with a thud on the floor and his wand several feet away.

"That was a great spell, Riiya. Good Job!"
