Class 4 « Thread Started on Jan 1, 2006, 8:19am »
The stage was set, how much had her students changed over the holidays? Ivy had a method to find out. A fresh set of cages was out, waiting to be filled, this time, two per desk. She smiled to herself and looked at the covered cage behind her desk. It contained a bird from each student, one of the ones they had created the previous term. She pulled out the piece of parchment and reminded herself of the colours. All she needed now, were her students.
Talia walked into the classroom feeling tired after the holidays. She had stayed at the Leaky Cauldron over the holidays, so she could keep in touch with the wizarding world. Now she was back at school, back to normality though? The school was hardly the place where normality existed. "Morning Professor." she said as she sat down. She took out her wand and sighed, her old one had snapped over the holiday so she had a new one. It had a patttern carved on it again, and it was exactly the same wood, core and length, but the pattern was different. Two silver snakes coiled round the wand in a double helix. It was beautiful, but it was not the same as her old one, it just was not the same. She still had the pieces of her old wand in a small box under her pillow, she could fit them together to read the pictograms, but it would no longer work. She suddenly noticed the cages, were they conjuring birds again?
Luna walked into the room. There was only one other student there. She had had a very boring holiday, with not much to do. All she had done was go home and revise some of the stuff they had learnt at school, not very interesting really. She looked at the cages with interest. They must contain birds, she thought. Maybe they would revise conjuring birds.
The only true love I ever knew was behind those downcast eyes. The only comfort I ever felt was during those long hours of loneliness when i felt for you, I do believe, only innocence can save the world.

Cara was a little confused. They couldn't be conjuring birds because they did it last term...And also, she could hear the chirping in the cage on the professors desk so the birds already existed. She shrugged and sat down at a desk humming to herself. This term hadn't started too badly and she was actually looking forwards to what the professor wanted them to do.

Orion had been so bored over the holidays, the differences between him and his parents were becomeing more apparant. He sat down next to Cara, almost absentmindedly. He ignored the cages, still troubled about what his parents had said to him over the holidays. He took out his things and for some odd reason began to doodle on a piece of parchement. Soon a picture of one of the birds was taking shape.

Seeing most of the class had already arrived, she smiled. "I'm sure you have noticed the cages on your desks, I have two tasks for you this lesson, the first is a new topic, the second, is a bit of revision." she paused, lifting the cage onto her desk, "In this cage are some of the birds you conjured last lesson, One for each of you, for those who were not there, I will conjure some for you. We will be covering summoning charms for the first part of the lesson, I know some of you are already quite capable with inanimate objects, but this is also a test of your accuacy. Firstly I want you to practice on inanimate objects, so those who have not used the spell before can get up to speed." She conjured a set of different coloured cusions, a different member for each class member. They were scattered all over the room, "I want you to put all your things, apart from your wands, in your bags, and do your bags up, pencil cases can be quite dangerous when flying around the room." she conjured several small pieces of parchment, again one for each student, they were rolled up so no one could see what was written on them. "The incantation for the spell is: Accio" she said, demonstrating, bringing a white cusion to her. She then placed it on her desk to make the spread more even. Once your things are away, take one of these parchment pieces, and see which colour you have, you will be practicing with that colour cusion, trying to summon it." she watched the class getting ready, then quickly enchanted her desk, so nothing but the cusion could come off it. "Once you are all ready, check there are no cusions behind you, when you have your cusion, wait for all the cusions to be collected, then we will continue with the next part of the lesson. Off you go" She sat in her chair and watched as pandemonium ensued, "Of course, all those cussions in the air at once, they were bound to knock each other off course."

Orion quickly put his things in his bag, he was still in a bit of a daze, but had to concentrate, He grabbed a piece of parchment and opened it, 'not pink, not pink.' was all he could think, he looked at the writing and saw he had green. 'Phew, not an embarrasing colour," he looked around and saw the cusion was behind Talia's head, He saw the rest of the class was ready and raised his wand, hoping he could avoid hitting Talia, "Accio." the cusion missed Talia, but was hit by another and fell to the floor, 'Oh no, this could take a while.' he thought, "Accio . . . Accio" it took another four attempts to get the cusion, it kept on being knocked to the floor, and the rest of the class were in similar situations as far as he could tell.
Once her things were in her bag, and the rest of the lcass was ready, Talia opened her piece of parchment, "Red huh, ok" she muttered before looking round the room. She saw the cusion on top of the door. "Accio!" she shifted slightly as she performed the spell, and saw a green cusion fly past her head, it was hit by another cusion, just like her own was. She pointed her wand to the cusion on the floor, "Accio!" this time it was not hit, and it went straight to her.

Irena looked around her, still a little amazed by her classmates' eagerness. She was still a new student after all, and she wants to be careful with everything that she does. Opening her piece of parchment she smiled to herself. It said purple, definitely her favourite colour.
Raising her wand and concentrating hard on her purple pillow while blocking everything around her out, she said out slowly and softly, 'Accio'. Nothing happened. Clearing her throat, she tried again. This time the purple pillow hovered in the air a little and dropped down again.
Squinting her eyes a little to focus, she said it again, this time louder and clearer. 'Accio', and this time, surely, it flew up and went to her. Reaching out her left hand, she grabbed it and smiled to herself, looking satisfied. This has been a good lesson.

Once all the class had their cusions, Ivy noticed Mahamari and Hai were missing. She'd heard about Hai earlier and wondered how Talia was coping, but she was the kind of person who thought that letting things run thier own course was best. "Right, now you've all practiced on still targets, time to move to to moving targets. You should remember what colour bird you conjured last lesson. I have some of those birds, one from each person, I want you to summon the one you conjured last lesson. And Irena I want to speak with you about waht you missed while the rest of the class practice with the birds." she took the cage out from under her desk, "Once you have summoned your bird, put it in one of the cages you had at eh start of the lesson." Once Irena was by her desk, she opened the cage and let the birds out, "Don't worry, they've been charmed so you can't hurt them."
"Right Irena, you've missed three lessons, the first we covered levitation, the second patronuses, but I believe you are covering them in Defence against the Dark Arts, so you won't need to catch up there. Last lesson we were conjuring birds. We will revise that again today, so you need not worry. You can find the information you need on the levitation charm in your textbook, page 5, I have a spare copy if you need it. Can you just read up on it while the class collect their birds."
(OOC: for those who can't remember your bird colours are: Talia - light blue Luna - Black Ariana - Royal Blue Orion - Fuscia Pink Cara: Scarlet)

"Right, I will do that. Thank you professor," Irena said, eager to start doing something soon. She looked at the pages as she turned, until she found it. She did not really know what to expect, or what the professor would help her make up for lost time, but she hoped that she would learn something soon.

Orion re,membered his birds all too well. He saw the birds flitting about and realised they were a lot quicker and more agile than before. Were they agitated. He used his wand to follow the path of his bird, he hoped he would get it first time, or who know what would happen. "Accio." all he got was a tail feather and a faster bird. "Accio!" he felt the feathery body in his hands a few moments later and put the bird in a cage. "Phew, need to practice a bit more." he muttered under his breath.
Luna saw her bird fluttering around, she had used the accio spell before to catch them, though she hadn't used them on targets that were moving as fast as the birds were. "Accio!" she said pointing at her the black bird trying to follow it as it moved. And sure enough it came to her hand. She put it in its cage, pleased with herself.
