Eager much? by Professor Bulla
Bare seconds before the class was due to begin a tall figure swept into the room and headed straight for the back. Reaching the back wall, Professor Bulla turned and took a look at the students, pausing a couple of times as his gaze took in everything. With a faint smile at the number of students directing quizzical looks at him, Manfred walked back to the front at a much slower pace then leaned on his desk as he addressed the class."My name is Professor Bulla. You will address me as Professor Bulla. Now," he gave his head a partial shake to knock his dark brown hair out of his eyes, "you may have all noticed that this school is situated in the middle of a desert."
A long moment passed as his gaze once again passed over the entire class and he frowned at a couple of students who seemed to be taking this news as some kind of revelation.
"A desert," he repeated to reinforce the idea, "which has been made into a liveable environment thanks to the wonders of magic - specifically Charms and Transfiguration. Now today, you are going to be learning one of the basic Charms that is very important to this school: Aquor. This spell conjures water in small quantities."
Manfred reached a tanned hand into his dark green robe - only a couple of shades darker than the school uniform - to retrieve his wand.
"This is actually a very easy spell to cast in that it requires very little in the way of specific wand movement. You will all notice that there is a jar in fro-" there wasn't a jar in front of every student. Giving a quiet tsk of annoyance Manfred straightened up and pointed his wand at the supplies cupboard beside the window. With a quick flick the doors sprung open. Another more complicated movement and a series of glass jars started jostling to get out. "In order, thank you!" Manfred told them, and the jars settled into a line, floating across the classroom until one was in front of every student. A downward movement and they all settled on the desks at once bar one, which hit the floor with a loud clatter. Glad of the impervious charm he had cast on all the jars for protection against student mishandling, Manfred summoned the last jar to himself.
"A jar in front of you all. All you do is point your wand into the jar and say the incantation: Aquor," a stream of water spurted forth from his wand and filled the jar near to the brim. "Remember to pronounce it just as I did - emphasising the 'A'," Manfred instructed the class as he moved around to take his seat.
"You may begin."
OOC: Ok kiddies, here's your class. Usual rules apply: try to keep your posts realistic to your characters abilities. I'll award points when the class ends. And for future reference, this is not a real time RPG. The Headmistress has mentioned this on the OOC board, but after reading the lower thread, I'm not entirely sure that everyone understands what this means. I understand because I was a little confused when I first started RPGing too, so I'll try and explain for those who are still having trouble.
A class starts when it is posted by the Professor. It usually runs (and this is the one class in game time - roughly an hour) for about three weeks Real time. Similarly, several threads can be running simultaniously while dealing with events that are chronologically far apart. I'm not sure how good an explanation this is, so if anyone is still confused about anything I'm on AIM under the s/n ManfredBulla.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consider who my author is....... by Kaylie Brockert
Kaylie fiddled with a strand of hair. She wasn't much for listening in class. Never had been when she'd been back at her school in California. Kaylie and her siblings attended a public Muggle school even though they were purebloods.But maybe now was the time to start. Kaylie had missed nearly everything Professor Bulla had said. She looked around the room and then down at the glass jar. What was it they were saying?
"Ak- core!" Kaylie exclaimed. A deep red liquid dripped out of her wand. It wasn't thick enough to be blood or tomato juice. It was more like....wine??\n\n

really, have you considered the benefits of AA? by Manfred Bulla
Excitement seemed to be everywhere Professor Bulla looked. If it wasn't spillages, it was rude and disrespectful students and now... his nose picked up a scent that shouldn't have been in his classroom. Alcohol. Specifically wine; red wine. And the bouquet... but no, this really wasn't the time.It wasn't difficult to see where the problem lay. Even if he hadn't had the scent to follow, there was only one student who's jar was filled with a red liquid. He was disppointed to find that he recognised her as being a member of his own house.
"Miss Brockert," he said sternly, picking up the jar and vanishing its contents. "I expected better from a Teppenpaw - paying attention in my class is not an option, and that is quite obviously what you havbe not been doing. Now," he replaced the jar on the table, "perhaps you would like to try that again. The incantation is 'Aquor'. Do try and get that right this time."\n\n

Embarrassed... by Kaylie
Kaylie's face flushed. Whenever she was embarassed, her skin got all red and blotchy like when she had sunburn. And having wine shoot out of her wand and being yelled at by her own Head of House, definitely fell into the category of embarassing.Kaylie really hadn't meant to make wine. She meant to do it correctly. It's just that she didn't always have the longest attention span. She'd rather be outside, not doing schoolwork. "Aquor!" Kaylie whispered, pointing her wand at the jar. Nothing happened and she muttered the spell again. This time water streamed out of the wand, though it was a little off color. It now had a blue tint and smelled kind of funny but at least it wasn't wine. Kaylie took the jar up and placed it on the professor's desk. She wondered if she should apologize for her mishap.\n\n
