[DADA] T1: Lesson 5 - Incarcerous and Impedimenta

[Helia Ollivander]

"Sounds good. I'll use impedimenta then you can tie him up?" she said as she pulled out her wand, ready to try it out.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron nodded, quickly standing up and collecting his own wand. "I can do that." He said confidently, looking at Halo with a smile.

[Helia Ollivander]

"Awesome." she watched as the mosue began to hurry off the desk pointed her wand at it and said, "Impedimenta!" it missed. She follwed the mosue with her wand again and said, "Impedimenta!" the spell hit and the mouse began slowing down.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron pointed his mouse at the mouse, which was moving considerably slower, and took a deep breath.

"Incarcerous!"

The ropes flew out of his wand and missed the mouse by a couple of feet, tying around a nearby student's desk. Sending Helia an embarrassed look, he pulled the rope back, forgetting it was still tied to the neighbouring table, and jumped slightly when he heard the crash of the desk toppling over.

Turning red, he muttered a quick 'Finite Incantatum', the ropes disappearing, and watched as the mouse regained its normal speed with a sigh.

[Helia Ollivander]

She tried to hide a fit of laughter by biting her lip, "Um, let's try that again." she said trying to find where the field mouse had run off to. She saw it hiding underneath the professors desk. "Impedimenta." she said, aiming a little ways in front of the mouse. Just as she had hoped, the rodent ran straight into the spell and began slowing down as it tried to run for the door.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco watched his bird for a moment as it flapped it's wings furiously, nearly flying into a student's hair. No wonder, he thought, with a grin to himself, That hair style does look like an enormous nest.

Then, when the bird finally flew back in his direction, he raised his wand.

"Incarcerous!"

Ropes immediately sprang from his wand, catching the vicious bird which tried to escape, and almost did. Draco used the few seconds he had while the bird was trapped to try the next spell.

"Impedimenta!"

Having the bird held down by the ropes made it easy to aim the spell, and the bird's flapping instantly slowed down as it hung in midair. Then, when the flapping could no longer hold it up, the bird fell from the slight height and into the student's hair. Draco couldn't help but howl with laughter as he watched the girl look around confused for a moment before letting out a loud yelp.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron, still quite flushed, steadied his wand once more and aimed it at the bewildered mouse. "Incarcerous!" His eyes widened when the ropes left his wand and tied themselves to the mouse which immediately began to let out high pitched squeaks.

Then, looking toward Helia brightly, he felt his former embarrassment fade. Noticing others had finished the spell, like Malfoy for instance, who was busy laughing at another students expense (Like always!), Ron turned back to the mouse.

"Hah! Take that!" He exclaimed triumphantly.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Excellent work everyone." Leigh said, not looking up from his work. He knew from the triumphant laughter and boasting students that they had succeeded. He noticed only half the class was gone through with its time and he sighed. He massaged his temples before standing and looking upon the class. "We'll now move up a level in the creatures we use." With a flick of his wand the creatures all disappeared. Then with another flick, more creatures appeared, but not in the room, but outside.

Leigh flicked his wand a third time and the window shutters opened insanely where five dragons stood, calmly awaiting orders. "Now, lets see you use these spells on creatures of unimaginable magical power." Leigh continued, a slightly evil grin spreading across his lips. "Don't worry, they're not real dragons, but they have orders from to me make it hard for each of you to capture them, by any means necessary. None of you are at risk."

[Helia Ollivander]

"Professor?" Helia asked raising her hand, "Are we only allowed to use Incarcerous and Impedimenta to capture the dragons, or can we use outside resources as well?"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred had taken a Hippogriff and done all the courtly manners. He then trapped the creature in the Incarcerous spell, then slowed it down with the Impedimentia spell.

"Dragons?" Jerred asked, wondering why they would be dueling with dragons.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Leigh smiled at Helia's inquisitiveness. "Only Incarcerous and Impedimenta." Leigh replied with. "Now, each dragon is ready. You may need to team up with extra people to bring one down. Learn how to combine your spells for extra strength."

[James McFinnigan]

"Hey, you think we should team up with Helia and that Gryffindore kid?" Fin asked Lisa. "You know, after we finish with the thing we're doing now?"

[Lisa Turpin]

Lisa looked at the dragons with awe, turning back to Fin with excitement, "That sounds good," she said with a smile, pointing at one of the dragons. "Look how big they are!"

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"There's a catch, as you can all see, the dragons are outside... they're going to run... NOW!" Leigh yelled at the top of his voice. The dragons suddenly dispersed into the air, hovering no more than a few hundred feet in the air. "Now, for each successful capture, 50 house points will be awarded to each person, no joke. Now... get to it."

[Helia Ollivander]

"Ooh," she smiled up at the dragons. She looked over at a welsh green, then looked at Ron, "What say you, we try and tackle that one?" she pointed at the slender green dragon that was now flying above the tree tops.
