Professor O'Connor paced up and down in front of a blackboard looking at her students, Fiona wasn't sure which age group she liked best, the younger students were a bit silly and the older students didn't care about anything except sex. Go figure. When everyone had taken their seats Prof. O'Connor stopped pacing and stood dead center in the front of the room, hands one her hips, tapping her wand against her hip. For a few moments she surveyed her students, much as a general surveys the opposing army before going into combat. Then she smiled and her blue eyes glimmered as she said, "Welcome to Charms." the witch started every class in this way.
Fiona momentarily turned her back on the class, giving them time to whisper a bit before she rapped on the blackboard with her wand. Pivoting on the spot she immediately silenced all talking, gigling, and note passing. On the board were now detailed illustrations of hand positions, wand movements and an incantation. Wingardium Leviosa. the woman stated tossing her long hair, The levitation spell. Today you will all be learning how to make objects fly. Fiona gave them a grin as some of the students exchanged glances, Come on now, you won't be making whole suits of armour float out the window! I have placed a small object, an eraser, a pencil, a quill, or something else in front of each of you. Watch me, then try for yourself. With that she looked at her wooden desk in the corner of the room (she never used it, prefering to deliver standing lectures) and said loudly and clearly so everyone could hear her: Wingardium Leviosa! The desk immediately jumped into the air, did a few figure eights, guided by her wand, and then gently floated back to the floor with a dull thunk. Hands back on her hips in the general pose, she waited for the students to dazzle her....or make something explode.
