Lesson Two

[~NeoLink~]

"Hello again class. I appreciate the popularity of the previous lesson and thank you all for participating," said the Headmaster.

"The first spell we will be learning today is the Reductor curse. This curse disintegrates or destroys objects in the caster's path. Remember, it only works on objects, not people." The headmaster said, smiling at the end.

"The incantation for this spell is

Reducto

For practicing this spell I have set up boxes and useless objects that I would not mind breaking or littering the classroom, so you may curse those objects. I have also cleared my classroom of valuables and glass objects that would injure you all if they were to explode." Headmaster Scarbourough then pointed his wand at a nearby box.

"Observe...

Reducto!" he said, and the box instantly disintegrated.


"The second spell we are learning today is the Tarantallegra curse. This spell causes the victims legs to dance and flail about uncontrollably. This is a great spell to use on attackers that will immobilize them and yet not cause them any real harm. The incantation is..

"Tarantallegra

"Now when practicing this spell you are to do it on each other. But I want no surprise hexing. You are to do it in a willing and ready partner. To lift this curse you can simply point your wand at them and say the incantation..

"Finite Incantatem

That charm negates the effects of most spells and will work for Tarantallegra. And do not leave them flailing their legs for more than thirty seconds. Once you have correctly done the curse on them you are to quickly end it.

Go ahead on practice Reducto and Trantallegra now. If you have any questions or want to report a student abusing these curses just get my attention, but I will be watching all the same."

[Allyria]

Allyria smirked. "Reducto!" she shouted, and reduced one of the boxes to dust. She looked at the Professor, as if to say, this is too easy. Got anything else for me?

[Dark]

"Sounds easy enough" Dark muttered.

He then pointed his wand at a box and said, "Reducto!" and the box split apart and vaporized into dust, like Allyria's.

To make things interesting for the class he made all of the boxes magically start flying and dancing around the classroom so the rest of the students could get target practice too. And so it wouldn't be so boring.

He then began to aim at flying boxes and destroying them.

"Ahh! Very nice! Both of you. And that is a very good idea, Dark. Ten points to Grimcole," The Headmaster said, smiling.

[Allyria]

Allyria sat in a chair and shoved her feet onto the desk, tipping her chair back onto two legs and lazily using the Reductor Curse on boxes as they went whizzing around.

"God, this is boring." She muttered. "This class needs a little excitement." Deciding to show off, she cried, "Expecto Patronum!" and everyone in the class halted as a silver falcon erupted from her wand and flew, gleaming, around the room. Allyria smirked at the awed look on their faces before waving her wand again. The falcon disappeared and she leaned back on her chair again. "I need a cigarette..."

[Aethie]

Aethie stared at Allyria in shock, and then glanced at the Professor, wondering if the new girl was going to get in trouble. "Erm...Reducto!" she said dubiously, and a feeble red spark shot out of her wand.

[~NeoLink~]

"Miss. Cornwall, the patronus lesson is not until a few weeks. If you want to cause disruptions in my class you can join me in the discipline room." Said the Headmaster calmly to Allyria.

"It is also unwise to show off your talets uselessly... But that is a good patronus." He added.

"Now everyone please get back to work."

[Allyria]

"Why is it unwise?" Allyria demanded impudently. "Who cares if I can do a good Patronus? It's more useful than this twaddle you're teaching us!"

[~NeoLink~]

"It is useless because you are doing it just to show off. Now I suggest you get back to practicing the spells of the lesson. End of discussion."

He looked at her angrily and sat at his desk.

[Allyria]

"I don't need to practice this stupid spell, I've been able to do it since I was a child," Allyria snapped. "Why don't you teach us something useful?"

[~NeoLink~]

The Headmaster gave a heavy sigh.

"Very well. If you do not like the lesson I am teaching then you can leave this class and go to the Discipline room and we can discuss it all and I can assure you it will be much more boring.

So it's your choice. Cooperate with the lesson or get detention"

[Allyria]

"But I've already proved I can do the spell!" Allyria cried in outrage. "How can you give me detention for being good at something?" She sat back in her chair, fuming. Oh, if you weren't the Headmaster, I'd curse you good...

[~NeoLink~]

"I can give you detention because you are arguing and being disrespectful to me and causing a disruption. Five points from Grimcole.

Any more arguing from you Miss. Cornwall and you will get detention."

[Allyria]

Allyria glared at the Headmaster, breathing heavily. It was a power game, and she knew it - but if he thought she was going to lie down and take orders from anyone, he was sadly mistaken!

"Fine." she yelled. "Fine! I'm leaving! Who needs this stupid class anyway?" And with that, she stalked from the room, knocking over her chair and desk as she went.

[~NeoLink~]

"Very well" said the Headmaster calmly.

"Just don't forget to stop by the discipline room on your way out." He called after her.

"The rest of you.. get back to work."
