Dan was slightly bemused as he watched the image of a coffee mug appear. He did not expect that to happen. He had cast that spell before the lesson started, but the last spell he had cast was the bang to get everyone’s attention. Looking up at Bella he gave her a small smile.
“Well done Miss Black, 5 points to Slytherin.” Dan then turned his attention to the class “That sometimes does happen. Prior Incantato is a very complex spell and to achieve the perfect image is very difficult and if the wands have the same core element it can confuse things. Can anyone tell me….”
Dan turned around at the sound of lumps of sugar going into the image of his drink. He had lost his complete train of thought as his mouth hung open. Looking around all of the students he saw Shabnam with her wand in hand and he could not help but laugh. Running his hand through his hair Dan was stunned.
“You did that? That was…well it was fantastic. 10 points to Hufflepuff! Right erm…where was I…..oh yes. Can anyone tell me the famous situation when the same core elements met and caused the Prior Incantato spell to happen?”
Dan beamed at Shabnam he truly was impressed with what she had done, and extra proud that she was a Hufflepuff. He remembered that in past years he had taught her and she always had a talent for strange magic.

Diana watched as the sugars spilled over the coffee. It was an interesting spell, but her mother used it all the time, she thought to herself. Then as Professor Hubbles asked a question Diana rose her hand. "Professor are you referring to the time that Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort were in duel and it caused for all the past ghosts of people that he killed to be released from his wand..." she answered in an asking way. She had heard about this and found it rather curious how something could happen like that. "Was is because both of their wand cores came from the same pheonix.. and so it gave them equal strength?" she asked him curiously.

Dan looked around the room wide eyed and smiling happily to himself. When eh heard the Slytherin come forward he went bounding over to stand opposite her and listened carefully nodding his head as she said everything right.
“Prefect. Give that Slytherin 5 points.”
The points changed on the board with a puff of chalk smoke and Dan walked over to the desk where his wand sat. As he picked it up the image of the mug disappeared with a small fizzle. Dan held his wand in his figures so that the whole class could see it clearly.
“As Miss Fortuna mentioned the wands had the same core, a feather picked from the same phoenix. This made the spell strangely effective with the images being able to talk and almost take full form. It was strong magic that night from two very powerful wizards, I doubt it will ever happen because wands are very funny things. Everyone’s wand is effective at doing different things, not that I need to tell you that, but it suits the qualities of the witch or wizard.”
Dan looked at his own wand before carefully putting in his inside robe pocket. Then with a deep breath he looked around the class once more. He counted the all to make sure that there would be enough partners but gave up once he got to 6, they could just fight.
“Ok first of all I want you all to cast a spell on anything…well apart form a fellow student or me….and then get into pairs and try out the Prior Incantato spell. Do not worry if you image is not whole, or flickers it is why we are in this school. To learn.”

Bella and Cissy immediately looked at each other. Being partners was a given. Why else would they take all the same classes?

A bright grin etched across Shabnam's face as Professor Hubbles beamed proudly at her - she would have to send him more sugar, obviously - and humming a small laugh she stood up and turned to Girty, drawing her wand.
'I'll be your partner, okay?' She offered in usual ethereal voice. 'I could make your fingernails turn into porcelain if you like - or make your eyes invisible. Isn't that ace?' She looked around the room carefully now, looking for something to cast a spell upon that wasn't too big or already too pretty. There were nothing but tables and chairs and students, and she frowned, biting the inside of her cheek.
It then occurred to her. Clearing her thought dramatically she moved to stand in a clear space. Closing her eyes firmly in concentration and licking her lips, Shabnam paused for a moment with her wand pointing firmly at the floor, before simply declaring 'Ether Fugmenta!'
For a moment nothing particularly interesting happened, but within seconds the cracks between the flagstones on the floor had unearthed themselves slightly, thick coils of long grass and exotic looking wild flowers sprouting tall, right up to everyone's knees. 'It's brill, isn't it?' She sighed, her eyes shining.

Narcissa looked over at the girl she didn't know. She turned to her sister and whispered something to her. "Is it just me or do her and Professer Hubbles have... a thing?" She laughed jokingly, ready to get the assignment over with.

Dan was quite happy staring at the ceiling of the room letting the class get on with it but he heard something that forced him to lower his gaze. As he scanned the class room he saw Shabnam causing plants to grow through his class room floor. The flowers were interesting, they reminded him of a variety he saw in the Brazilian rainforest. Walking slowly over Dan studied the leaf and flower very carefully, he let the sweet pollen fill his nose forcing a smile to form on his face.
“Very nice Shabnam, do you mind if I take a cutting? It will fit lovely in with the other plants I am growing.”
His eyes glinted as he looked from the plant to the Hufflepuff. He was truly amazed that out of all the flowers that could have grown had to be this one. It was always Dan’s belief that with this charm it was truly the power of the persons imagination that made the flowers more beautiful. He had once seen a Slytherin try it and all they managed to create was a selection of nettles. However his ponderings were ruined by the mumblings of one of the Black sisters behind him.
“Clearly then Miss Black you do not have a strong relationship with your head of house. I adore each and everyone of my Hufflepuff’s and I am willing to show it. However if you have any more questions maybe we could confront them in detention tonight, otherwise I advice you to get on with the task I have set for you.”
Turing back to the plant, Dan carefully cut the stroke with his wand and wondered into his office where he prepared the cutting. He knew the class would either get on with the work or destroy each other. Which ever they decided he truly did not mind.

"No, we dont have a strong relationship with our head. Hes a drunk. Why, just last night he was terribly impared in the common room, and still drinking!" Bella answered. Clearly he did NOT know Professor Fagin.
Bella pulled her gorgeous brunette hair into a loose ponytail, and got her wand ready, placed at the tip of her sister's. "Priori Incantato!" she hissed. Out of her sister's wand came a shadowy figure, which formed itself into a first year being blasted backward off of their feet. Bella smirked, "I remember that, that was fun."

Narcissa laughed. "Yeah, I remember that!" She smiled and did the same to her sister's wand. Immediatly, a small second year girl became as stiff as a board, and fell to the ground, leaving the path to the kitchens clear. Cissy looked to her sister, noticing others around them were also watching.

Bella looked to the many eyes staring back at her, and quickly vanished the second year. "Narcissa, people might start to think we are unkind!" Bella joked.

Narcissa laughed, noticing that their wands produced more serious spells then everyone else's did. "Which we are not," She replied, still smiling.

"A lot?" said Bella, laughing at their inside joke. Since they had finished with their task, Bella perched herself on the edge of her desk, and examined her nails. She frowned. "Cissy we are getting our nails done this weekend. I have terrible grow outs."

Narcissa laughed. It was something only they would understand. "Thats what she said," she muttered, still laughing. "Yeah I need to get mine done too, and then we can talk about the dance, and guys..." She smiled. There was a subject they could talk about for hours. "I want a couple new outfits too..." She added.

(( Don't post mindlessly, especially not in lesson threads - if you two were just doing a casual thing on your own then whatever, but there are other people in this one and unlike most of what you two say, this is actually going somewhere. Stop spamming on threads that aren't your own, and keep these relentless inside jokes out. ))
Shabnam only half-noticed the ghostly, preternatural image of a small child flying past her, disappearing in a silent puff of mist as the apparition hit the wall. She was too busy combing through the freshly sprung undergrowth, plucking up orchids and lilies. The floor was already crumbling with the amount of plant life, and she realise it would probably be folly to try and resurrect the charm with the Priori Incantato spell...
Eying Diana with interest, as the girl was very quiet looking and contemplative. Her wand say neatly on her desk in front of her, and Shabnam picked up her own, chanting 'Priori Incantato!' At it. A moment later the silverly reminder of the Slytherin's last act of magic emerged...

Narcissa watched the rest of the class perform the spell. White misty forms of people and objects were appearing around the room. Bored, she turned to her sister, looking for something to do. Turning to Diana, she lazily performed the spell on her wand.
"Prior Incantato." She muttered. Her and her sister laughed when they saw what came out of Diana's wand.
