Faina Patrovna
Slytherin PrefectFifth YearFifteen Years OldSingle
Dueling Club Captain



As was her wont, Faina arrived to Charms class in good time, so she could get a seat with a good view of the chalkboard, and have her class materials ready for the start of the lecture. As she took down her notes on the Silencing Charm, she was actually rather surprised to learn about the possible issues such a charm could have if handled unwisely, though she quite understood how it was rife for abuse. It was handy knowledge for a Prefect to have, though, and now she knew to be on the lookout for others using it.

She was sure her sister would think it a mean trick to pull on a bunch of sleeping owls, using an alarm clock to awaken them suddenly, but it got them hooting and screeching, which was the point of the exercise. Faina focused her attention upon one of the angry creatures, and attempted to make it quiet once more, hoping not to cause it any harm in the process.

Wrap me up in skin.
Hold me close enough to breathe me in...
The moon’s a fingernail,
Scratching on the back-

BLOOD TRAITORFORMER HUFFLEPUFFCHARMS PROFESSOR

Elsie did not particularly enjoy teaching the dancing feet charm, as she privately thought it rather idiot and basic to be using during a duel, and didn't know what else you would use for it, as it wasn't terribly funny to watch after more than a few moments. She had a series of chairs of varying shapes and sizes set up in the front of the room, and silently took attendance before collecting the homework with a sweep of her wand as the students took their seats.

"Tarantallegra, also known as the dancing feet charm, should really be regarded as more of a jinx, as it is typically used in duels or in jest. Much like silencio, it removes bodily autonomy from the victim, specifically in their legs, and forces them to dance wildly. It can also be cast on objects with legs, and is said to have caused the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius when a Roman warlock, Zaccaria Innocenti, caused the mountain to 'dance'." The blonde smiled grimly.

"In order to properly cast the charm you need a clear, unobstructed view of the target, which makes casting it from any great distance very difficult. The wand movement required is also rather complex, and will take a good deal of practice to perfect." Elsie drew said wand movement on the board in purple chalk:

Faina arrived for class as she usually did, making sure she got a view of the blackboard. As she took down notes, she took care to note that this jinx was similar to the Silencio Charm in that it robbed the target of bodily autonomy, and filed that away for future reference. She also took great care to diagram out the wand movements in her notes, knowing she'd need to be able to duplicate it.

When the Fifth Year started trying to cast the spell, her first few tries didn't go very well, causing the chair to wobble a bit rather than dance, however, at some point she got the chair to start performing a rather mutant version of the traditional hapak dance she'd seen performed in St. Petersburg by a troupe of Ukrainian dancers, which got her to start laughing a bit. To add to her amusement, she threw in a Flippendo for good measure to get the chair to perform some of the acrobatic jumps and flips she'd seen the real dancers do.

BLOOD TRAITORFORMER HUFFLEPUFFCHARMS PROFESSOR

Elsie was riding the proverbial high from her first class of the day, and felt less pressured to be overtly formal and professor-like when dealing with the fifth years, whom she tentatively assumed were a good deal more mature and mellow than the second years. She was touching up some of what was written on the board; in one corner the class rules were neatly outlined; in another the homework assignment, in yet another the supply list, and in the final corner, a doodle that looked like it had been scrawled by a student and smudged over, as the students began to enter the room.

When she was done she turned to face them, clapping her hands together to shake off any excess chalk dust. "Good afternoon everyone. I hope a good number of you plan to continue with Charms after your OWLs this year, and pursue the NEWTs course." She surveyed the class for a moment before continuing. "Names and houses, everyone, dull as it might be, and the charm you found most useful last year, if any."

BLOOD TRAITORFORMER HUFFLEPUFFCHARMS PROFESSOR

Elsie had just finished rushing around the room when the fifth years entered; she appeared slightly out of breath. With a wavering smile she walked over to her desk and sat down to take attendance, the three o'clock bell echoing through the courtyard outside. "Good afternoon, class," she said brightly, before getting to her feet and approaching the board. "Today we will be learning about and attempting the silencing charm."

In purple chalk she briskly began to write the definition on the board, expecting them to keep up with their notes. "The silencing charm has exactly one purpose, which is to render a beast or being mute, albeit it for a limited time. Its origins are unknown, but it is immensely difficult to cast correctly, and certainly not on the first try, so try not to get too frustrated today. However, it is extremely crucial that you go about attempting it the right way, as it can have some extremely unpleasant effects if done haphazardly." The blonde woman put down the chalk, turning back to the class, and folded her arms across her chest momentarily, tone growing more serious.

"You're all also old enough to understand the potential for misuse of this charm. Silencio is not something to be thrown about lightly. It is for situations in which an excessive amount of noise could cause harm. This is not a charm you cast on anyone, be they human or not, for a laugh or for some other petty reason. You could inadvertently suffocate someone. You could send someone into a panic attack. This charm removes bodily autonomy, and I don't want to ever hear about one of my students taking that lightly. Do not abuse it. Have I made myself perfectly clear?" Elsie regarded them silently for a moment, until she felt they'd gotten the message, then turned back to the board to briefly sketch the wand movement for the charm.

"The pronunciation should be si-LEN-see-oh. Alright. Time for your first attempt." She waved her wands, and a disillusionment charm fell away, revealing at least a dozen cages all around the room, full of sleeping owls. On the desk beside her, an alarm clock went off. The owls, abruptly awoken, reacted as angry owls were wont to do. By screeching and hooting furiously, all at once.

Elsie leaned against the bust of some old, nameless wizard, which she'd blown up the size of a person. "Today we'll be learning what is actually a curse, the reductor curse, to be exact. Simply put, it breaks things, violently. Which is why we'll all be practicing on this giant bust, sort of like a pinata, instead of using individual objects. I don't want to be cleaning up forever," she remarked wryly. "So, like so- re-DUCK-toh," she exclaimed, moving her wand in a V at the giant bust, and a crack appeared with a flash of blue light, pieces of marble flaking off. "Now all of you, one at a time, please."

"Good afternoon, class," she said brightly, before getting to her feet and approaching the board. "Today we will be learning about and attempting the silencing charm."

In purple chalk she briskly began to write the definition on the board, expecting them to keep up with their notes. "The silencing charm has exactly one purpose, which is to render a beast or being mute, albeit it for a limited time. Its origins are unknown, but it is immensely difficult to cast correctly, and certainly not on the first try, so try not to get too frustrated today. However, it is extremely crucial that you go about attempting it the right way, as it can have some extremely unpleasant effects if done haphazardly." The blonde woman put down the chalk, turning back to the class, and folded her arms across her chest momentarily, tone growing more serious.

"You're all also old enough to understand the potential for misuse of this charm. Silencio is not something to be thrown about lightly. It is for situations in which an excessive amount of noise could cause harm. This is not a charm you cast on anyone, be they human or not, for a laugh or for some other petty reason. You could inadvertently suffocate someone. You could send someone into a panic attack. This charm removes bodily autonomy, and I don't want to ever hear about one of my students taking that lightly. Do not abuse it. Have I made myself perfectly clear?" Elsie regarded them silently for a moment, until she felt they'd gotten the message, then turned back to the board to briefly sketch the wand movement for the charm.

"The pronunciation should be si-LEN-see-oh. Alright. Time for your first attempt." She waved her wands, and a disillusionment charm fell away, revealing at least a dozen cages all around the room, full of sleeping owls. On the desk beside her, an alarm clock went off. The owls, abruptly awoken, reacted as angry owls were wont to do. By screeching and hooting furiously, all at once.

I held every inch of you...
I wrote every line for you...
I made time when time was all but gone.
You’re the love I’ve always known-
The night’s so dark and grey;
But you’ve helped me find my way.
