Second/Third Years: Lesson Two by Professor O'Leary
Upon entering the classroom, each student would find on their desk a bowl, about the size one would use for soup or cereal, filled with water in addition to a glass container with three small black spiders. Today, they would be learning one of Drake's favorite spells, not that anyone needed to know that, but it was nonetheless for it was associated with fond memories.At the front of the room, where Drake stood, was a rather large vessel of water measuring five feet by five feet, but shallow at a height of about two feet. Undoubtedly, a little odd, but then he was a little odd. Then, again, when most people found you to be rather asocial, and in extreme cases rumored to be a vampire, the title of normal didn't stick.
Of course, the rumors weren't completely unfounded for Drake had the stereotypical appearance of one. He was fairly tall and extraordinarily gaunt with blood-red crimson hair and liked to wear dark flowing robes that swished when he moved. The saving grace was that his skin wasn't deathly pale. If it were, he might have been worried about himself.
He couldn't completely blame it on his appearance for he had
undoubtedly flamed the rumors with his stalking in the shadows, a fondness, which now lacked any punch. He supposed most had realized that for the most part he was all bark and no bite...at least in the classroom. As such, Drake stayed in plain site, leaning on his desk, a comfortable without being vulnerable position.
While he could perform some level of wandless magic, he preferred his wand, always hidden in his sleeve, for it allowed for spells to be at their most powerful, and this stance proved to be best for quickly maneuvering into a defensive or an offensive position. One could never be to careful, even if the school was heavily protected. Then, again, most of it was probably his paranoia due to previous experiences talking.
Staying perfectly still this way, Drake waited until the last student had arrived before beginning class in his deep baritone voice that echoed off of the chamber walls, "Good afternoon, class." Standard greeting, before, "Today, you will be learning the Glacius spell, which is used to freeze enemies and can be used on water, as well." The important part there was enemies. Why they were learning the spell in this class. "On each desk there is a container of spiders to practice on. For those, who feel this is unethical," slight sneer, "there is also a bowl of water in order to practice on. Repeat after me, Glacius," pronouncing as Gla-c-us. The wand now in his hand and pointed at the enormous container, "Your wand movement should reflect, as such, and firmly state," with a slight jerk of the arm and a semi-circle, shouted, "Glacius!"
The water now turned to ice, creating a small ice skating rink. The sport was a secret passion of Drake's, which was shared by his daughter
"Now, then, if performed properly, the spider should be frozen solidly, or if you are working with the water, a solid mass of ice. The more skilled one becomes, the larger the amount of enemies or water that can be frozen in addition to how long it will last," he lectured while stepping on the block and skating around slightly to demonstrate before stepping back down. "You may come up here to view or test out the homemade rink in small groups. For anyone not doing this, you should be attempting the spell on your spiders or bowl of water in front of you. Begin."\r\n\r\nOOC: Have fun, because creativity counts! Ten sentence minimum.\r\n\r\n

A real dilemma by Saul Pierce
Saul was looking forward to DADA. Last class they got to draw - no, wait, that was what he did after the lesson. What did they do for the actual class part? He sat down next to Briony in an attempt to jog his memory. "Hi," he said, with a grin of greeting for the girl.Boxes? his mental train of thought continued distractedly, Did it have something to do with boxes? He remembered the enchanted prince-chicken who was sacrificed to the dragon while the princess escaped a lot better. Well, there were still a couple of months before the final exam, it probably didn't matter right now.
Looking around, he noticed Echo and Elly and said, "huh," quietly, because he was pretty sure they hadn't been sharing a DADA class with the second years before midterm. He shrugged and dismissed the thought as mostly irrelevant. He'd just need to remember to say hi to Echo and Elly and Meredith after class, or - he caught the attention of one of them and waved. That ought to cover it.
Turning back to Briony, he was about to ask how her break had gone and ask if she'd gone home or stayed around the school when her father started the lesson. Saul scrambled to get a quill and parchment out and took sporadic notes and tried to pay attention. He even mostly succeeded for a change.
As the lecture was winding down, though, the spiders in front of Saul moved and caught his focus. A part of the lecture he'd half-missed due to trying to sound out 'Glacius' so he could write it in his notes came back to him and he was torn.
On the one hand, they were spiders. Saul had no love for spiders. They were creepy and crawly and scared the bejuices out of him when they got into his sleeping bag at home. On the other hand, family conditioning told him that they were living creatures and absolutely essential for the balance of the world's ecosystems. Even when they got into his sleeping bag, they were chased out with banishing charms, not stomped on. His ears still rang sometimes when he thought about the one single time he had tried to kill a spider.
With a sigh, he reached for the bowl of water and pulled it closer. People were going to think he was a total wimp. It couldn't be helped, though. It was bad enough he actually brewed potions with animal ingredients and didn't keep to a strict vegan diet. If Uncle Harvey found out he'd frozen spiders, too . . . well, Saul didn't know what would happen, but he doubted he'd like it. It would probably involve tofu. Or possibly a tour of a meat packaging facility. As much as Saul loved pepperoni, he just didn't care to watch it get made.
Holding the wand as Professor O'Leary had, Saul pointed it at the water and cast, "Glacius."
Slivers of ice crisscrossed the water surface, but it was far from a complete freeze. Saul thought colder thoughts and tried again, "Glacius!"
Better. He poked at the frozen lump with his finger and it dipped a little and some liquid water oozed up along the edges of the bowl. "Okay, one more time," he told the bowl of iced water, and did as he said, "Glacius!"
This time, poking proved that it had finally frozen all the way through. He sat back in his chair, pleased with himself. Wondering if Briony had finished yet and whether she'd gone after spiders or plain old H20, he looked over to see how she was progressing.

Seems to be solved >^^< by Briony
Ready for class, Briony had allowed her mind to drift into the world of daydreams, and as most thirteen year old girls went, her fantasies revolved around romance. Lost in thought, she nearly missed that another body had sat down next to her. It was Saul, a boy she had gotten to talk to last term. Still flushed from her thoughts, she managed to return the smile, before turning her attention to her father who had begun talking. He had been performing the spell Glacius before she could walk. It might have been a defensive spell, but it also had the perk of allowing one to ice skate.When the spiders were mentioned, she wrinkled her slightly freckled nose and shot a glance at her father. If he thought, she was going to be freezing spiders, he was sorely mistaken, especially since she was being nice enough to help him out with his first year class. She gave a small shudder. She hated getting up in front of people, worse that they would be seeing her performing spells. Besides, she already knew this spell, so why hurt defenseless creatures for no reason?
With this in mind, she pulled took the bowl of water and said softly, but firmly, "Glacius."
Easily enough due to the small amount of water, it was turned to ice. With a small smile and another look to her dad with a slight eyebrow raise of 'You can't make me,' she pulled out a book and began reading.

*smirk* by Elly Eriksson
Professor O’Leary was still a bit of an unexplained entity to Elly. Last year she had spent a pleasant enough lesson working with Briony, and earlier this year she had spent a most enjoyable lesson working with Mere and Echo in the gardens. Yet Professor O’Leary was still regarded as one of the least approachable teachers, often referred to as a vampire by many of the students. Elly didn’t believe a word of it – he was obviously a good father and a good teacher, and she didn’t have any reason whatsoever to be the least bit intimidated by him. In addition, his lessons were so varied it was impossible to guess what they would be doing each subsequent class. Therefore, Elly was quite excited as she headed into the vamp’s class.She headed for a seat the far side of the classroom. As she was just setting her bag down though, Saul waved in her direction across the class. Elly grinned back and was halfway to waving when she thought about how she hadn’t really spoken much to Saul recently. Aborting the wave, Elly slung her bag back over her shoulder and trekked over. Saying 'hi' to Briony as she passed, Elly took up the seat next to Saul instead.
Elly listened diligently to the professor’s lecture, doodling occasionally with her marvellous pink quill in pretence of note-taking. They were doing a spell that froze stuff, blah blah blah. So there was the option of spiders or water. Huh. Elly quite liked spiders – they were pretty cool when you thought about it. They could make webs to live in and catch their food, they could squeeze through the tiniest of cracks, they could move at super-speed and if you pulled a leg off (by accident, obviously) they could still continue with life quite happily. But freezing them? That sounded a bit cruel, far more so than transfiguration – Elly hadn’t done any animal transfigurations as yet but she had been assured that the creatures weren’t in pain throughout the process. Either way, if they had the option of using water, Elly decided she would go with the water, and let the spiders alone to live peacefully another day.
Elly pulled the dish closer to her, spilling a little over the side and onto the desk. She wiped up the spill with the end of her sleeve before brandishing her wand and giving the spell a go. “Glacius,” she said strongly. The water didn’t look any different. Forever hopeful, Elly dipped her finger in to gauge the temperature. Well, the water was very cold, but she had no idea how cold it had been to begin with. Glancing up at Saul, Elly noticed that he wasn’t concentrating on his own work, but looking over at Briony. Elly smirked – did Saul have a thing for Briony? Her mischievous side taking over, Elly scooped a couple of fingers into the cold water and flicked it at Saul, sincerely hoping that some chilly drops would land on the back of his neck.

meanie by Saul Pierce
Saul hadn't been able to do anything more than grin at Elly when she took the seat on Saul's other side just before the lesson began. And Saul was perfectly well aware that if he didn't do the class activity immediately after it was assigned, he wouldn't ever get around to it. Consequently, he'd nearly forgotten Elly was even next to him when he'd turned to check out Briony's progress.His yearmate had also frozen her water bowl and was already reading a book, having completed the task before Saul had. So, no spiders for her either. That made him feel a little better. At least, Professor O'Leary probably wouldn't hold it against him anyway. He was about interrupt her reading to ask her if she wanted to join him up on the large bowl of ice that her dad had frozen at the beginning of class when he squeaked (it had originally begun as a shriek, but his changing voice got caught in his throat and it squeaked instead) and grabbed the back of his neck.
"Cold!" he yelped, turning around to find Elly on his other side with fingers poised and shiny-wet. Understanding flashed bright and clear and his expression changed from startled surprise to mock threatening, "Oh, you're gonna pay for that, Girl EE," he warned.
Reaching over, he dunked his own fingers into her bowl of still unfrozen water and flicked some droplets back at her.

Mean? Moi? by Elly
Elly was delighted with result of her water flicking. Saul made a thoroughly hilarious noise, somewhere between a squeal and a hiccup, when the cold water had successfully hit its target. He span round to face her, and Elly had to clamp a hand firmly over her mouth to stop her from giggling rather loudly and uncontrollably. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that, Girl EE,” he threatened. Elly instinctively leant back as Saul darted towards her desk, almost falling backwards off her chair. The hand covering her mouth darted to grip the desk to steady her. Hence Elly was completely unprepared for Saul’s return fire, which spattered over her freckled face. It was beyond cold, it was icy. Elly recovered enough to suck in a sharp gasp of air, and blinked the water out of her eyes.“I’m gonna freeze you, Pierce,” she said in mock menace, wiping her already-damp sleeve over her face to clear the remaining drips. The threat was rather empty, though, as she hadn’t yet succeeded in freezing the water, and she assumed that the whole body of Saul was going to present a substantially greater hurdle. Instead, Elly used the only weapon she had at her disposal, and flicked some more water at him. She giggled – she wasn’t going to have any water left for the class at this rate, not to mention O’Leary probably wouldn’t be impressed if he saw the miniature water-fight occurring in his class.

I'll just leave you two... by Briony
Startled from her book by a high pitch squeak, Briony looked over in curiosity as to why Saul had. When he teasingly threatened Elly, she figured it must have been due to her, especially when Saul flicked drops of water at her. She wondered if he liked her. Everything she had read would suggest yes, as boys were supposed to pick on the girls that they liked.Smiling slightly, she decided to leave the two alone and go view the ice rink. If she was right and they did like each other, she didn't want to interrupt them since they seemed to be having so much fun. Besides which, she didn't want to get yelled at in her dad's class. Undoubtedly, he would be harder on her than anyone else, because she was his daughter and should have been setting an example.
Before she went up to the front of the room, Briony put her book away to make sure it wouldn't get damaged by any stray water. After she did that, she got up from her seat and headed to the front of the room where no one was yet. Glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, she tentatively stepped onto the ice. Closing her blue eyes, she slowly spun herself in a circle, pretending that she was really ice skating. She adored ice skating - the feel of the wind slashing at her face, her red hair flying out, as she went faster and faster. It was enough to almost make her forget she was in a classroom.

now look what you did, you scared her away by Saul Pierce
Saul was not particularly impressed by Elly's vow to freeze him. He did, however, take the threat of more freezing cold water flicked at him seriously. Raising an arm up sheild his face, he blindly reached for the bowl of water again. Unfortunately, he missed by about half a centimeter which meant he hit the rim and spilled the whole thing.He yelped as his arm and sleeve were doused by the icy cold water, though the majority seemed to be proving the desk had a downward tilt toward where Elly sat. "Watch it!" he warned, taking his own advice by pushing his own chair away from the spill. Had Briony still been in her chair, he would have bumped right into her, but when he turned to apologize, he found her seat empty.
"Hey! Where'd Briony go?" he blurted out in his surprise at not finding her there. It never even remotely crossed his mind that she would have left so he could spend some alone time with Elly and, consequently, he felt a bit abandoned that she'd leave without so much as saying bye. It also never occurred to him that Elly might have similiar thoughts about his interest in Briony.

So go follow her! (and it was you anyway) by Elly
This time Elly was ready, and raised her damp arm up to shield her face from Saul’s impending water attack, but it never came. Instead he shouted for her to watch out, and Elly moved her arm to see the empty dish and a desk covered with water that was travelling rapidly towards her. She pushed her chair back hastily, smacking into the desk of the person behind her, but she didn’t even consider turning to apologise as her knees were doused in icy cold liquid, which then proceeded to continue down her legs and into her shoes.“Cold!” Elly gasped, drawing her feet under her chair to keep them away from the still-dripping desk. The parchment she had been pretending to make notes on was soaked through, and her quill was lying in a puddle. That Saul Pierce had it coming.
“Hey! Where’d Briony go?” he said.
Elly stared at him for just a moment with her mouth open. He had just spilled her water over what could have been her notes, and onto both of them, and now the floor, and he was worrying about Briony? Well that just about clarified things for Elly – he was obviously besotted with her. Deciding that a crush was probably a good excuse for not noticing you had soaked someone, Elly let him alone. For now.
“She’s ice-skating,” Elly said, after a quick glance towards the front of the class. “Why don’t you go skate with her?” she added, the shadow of a grin creeping onto her face. She was considering asking what she was supposed to do now since there wasn’t any water left for her to work with, but there were always the spiders, which had remained unscathed in their pot sitting on the back of her desk.

I think I will (And it was totally you. You started it) by Saul
Saul looked back at Elly as she answered his mostly rhetorical question and realized she was kinda wet now. "Oops," he winced a little as he saw what a mess he'd made. "I'm really sorry about all that, Elly," he said, waving his hand to indicate the mess. He grinned suddenly at her as a bright idea occurred to him and he picked up his wand again. "But I can dry to right up if I can just remember what the word for that spell is. We learned it last year."It took a long moment - which probably did very little for Elly's confidence in his ability to perform it, but Saul was oblivious to that - before he finally recalled how to do it. "Oh, right, now I remember," he said just before casting it.
The spilled water evaporated (mostly) from the desk and their clothes, though both her papers and their robes were still somewhat damp. Saul counted it as a relative success and prided himself on his ability to perform the spell at all this long after he'd last used it.
Only then did he look up to the front of the classroom where Briony was. "That looks fun," he said, already fully distracted and standing up. "C'mon, let's go skating!" he invited Elly along, but he was already making his way up toward the frozen mini-rink and Briony by the time he finished saying the last word. If Elly wanted to decline, she was just going to have to stand him up.
"Hey, Briony," Saul said as he climbed up to join her. "If I fall, don't laugh," he warned. "I'm from California and we follow the warm weather." He didn't even manage to fully get onto the ice before he was flat on his face. "Oof. Okay, you can laugh if you really have to."

Hearing a voice say her name, Briony opened her blue eyes in surprise. It was Saul. A look of confusion passed over her features. Why wasn't he still with Elly? Was she mistaken? Didn't he like her? Didn't he want to be alone with her? They had appeared to be having such fun together.She wasn't sure she should ask him about it. They weren't exactly what one would call bosom buddies, though she hoped they would become better friends. Saul seemed like a cool guy and making up the chicken story had been a lot of fun. She wanted to know what other stories they could come up with.
She didn't get an opportunity to ponder asking him about Elly much longer, as he crashed down on the ice. "Maybe we should get you some training skates," she joked, a bemused smile crossed her rosy lips. Her crimson hair creating a veil around her face, as she leaned down to offer a hand.

Us? Nah. by Elly
To his credit, Saul did apologise, but he was grinning so Elly wasn’t convinced of the depth of his apology. Still, it was rather funny, and she knew that if it had been the other way round and she’d soaked Saul then she would have apologised whilst laughing, too. It was just one of those things. He also offered to dry it all up, but his hesitation in the spell made Elly feel distinctly uncomfortable. She’d know from the off that Saul didn’t always know what he was talking about, and having him aim a wand at her was unnerving to say the least.Luckily, he apparently did remember the spell, because an awful lot of the water did clear up. “Thanks,” Elly said, mildly impressed. Her feet were still cold and damp and her quill was looking rather sorry for itself, but it certainly was an improvement.
“C’mon, let’s go skating!” Saul suggested, apparently over the water spilling incident already. Elly strongly suspected it was Briony rather than the skating itself which held Saul’s appeal, and so she declined his invitation to join them. She liked Briony well enough but didn’t fancy being a third wheel.
“You go ahead,” she called after his rapidly retreating back. “I’ll give this spell another go.” Sighing, she turned her attention back to the lesson. She really should get a grip on the spell before skating, after all.
Elly took one of the spiders from the pot. It seemed more than eager to make its way up her sleeve. “Oh no you don’t,” she told it, and placed it back on the desk. It didn’t want to stay there either, and tried to scuttle its way off the desk. “Just stay still, will you?” Elly pleaded with it. She placed the spider once more in the centre of her desk and the creature was obedient this time round. “Thank you,” Elly said. She picked up her wand and aimed it at the leggy little chap. “I’m sorry if you don’t like this, but I need to practise so I can get Saul later. Glacius!”
The spider was immobile. Elly was impressed – her spells hardly ever were that successful on second attempt. To make sure, she prodded it with her wand tip. Taking the hint, the spider ran off, moving so fast that Elly couldn’t stop it from escaping from her desk and onto the floor. Elly sighed again; even the spiders were mocking her inability now. She looked up the front of the class to see Saul flat on his face on the ice. She couldn’t help but laugh as she reached for another spider, determined to get this spell to work.

She wasn't laughing. Saul took some small comfort in that. He needed comfort. His chin hurt. So did his knees and elbows. "Maybe we should get you some training skates," Briony joked, clearly amused even if she wasn't actually laughing."Yeah," Saul agreed, accepting her offered hand. Together, they managed to get him up onto his feet, but he was sure that if he just breathed too deeply he would end up on his rear end. "I can ride a unicycle for almost seven seconds," he told her, hoping that accomplishment would cancel out his complete inability to ice skate. Assuming she believed him.
"Of course," he added, unable to leave it there, "on the seventh second, I fall just as spectacularly." He windmilled his arms around as he nearly lost his balance again, but he managed to keep from crashing again. "So is there a trick to this or is it all about practice?"

Not sure I believe you :P by Briony
“Seven seconds is better than I'd be able to do,” she assured him, noticing he had a stray hair. Her hand, nearly of its own accord went to brush it back, but then he spun around. Immediately, she withdrew, mortified. What had she been about to do? Blushing slightly, she took her own turn to spin, hoping he hadn't noticed.While doing so, she replied, “Um, the key is to not fall. If all else fails, get a fire breathing chicken to melt the ice.” Pretty sure the blush was gone, she turned to face him, her blue eyes sparkling in humor at remembrance of the story. “Though, this is nothing like real ice skating. My dad and I go every year at Christmastime.”
Briony knew it would probably be hard for anyone to picture him ice skating, but that's what came with her father's dual personality. Of course, like father, like daughter. She was generally shy and reserved until getting to know someone, then the internal extrovert shined through. As though to prove the point, she began to perform a few fancier moves on the ice, such as spinning on one foot and switching to glide on the other, limited due to the size of the rink. She wasn't worrying about if anyone was watching anymore.
Stopping, she asked Saul suddenly, “Do you want to learn?” She wasn't sure if he said yes how she would teach him, but she was sure her dad would be able to help.

"Not fall," Saul repeated, nodding sagely, "Excellent plan." The movement was a bad idea because it sent him into another spin that he was only barely able to recover from. Briony was also spinning when he managed to regain his balance, but it looked like she was doing it on purpose. She looked really graceful. Saul was totally impressed.And as much trouble as he was having following said advice, he didn't think he was going to need the fire-breathing chicken. That would take all the fun out of it.
Saul had a mental mindfreeze trying to picture Professor O'Leary ice-skating, but he didn't think Briony would lie to him about it, so he just tried not to think too closely about it. This was made easier by her next question.
"Really?" he asked with genuine interest, "You'd teach me to skate? That would be fantastic!"

Briony looked surprised for a moment, but it was quickly changed to a grin. She hadn't actually expected him to take her up on the offer, but she was really happy that he did. It'd be fun to spend some time with Saul and even better that it would be doing one of her favorite activities.
"Really," she told him. She made a mental note to talk to her dad about it. Maybe they could get a bigger rink to work with. "We can meet here, as long as my dad doesn't have a class. When is good for you? I'm fairly free after dinner."
Spinning around again, "In no time, we'll have you doing this."

Absolutely. by Saul
"Excellent," Saul enthused when she confirmed that she really meant it. Learning to ice skate was going to be so cool. Cold, even, probably. He'd have to remember to dress warm. He was pretty sure Michael had a pair of gloves. School robes were probably good enough for a coat. They were long sleeved."Um," he tried to remember the Pecari Quidditch Team practice schedule, as she did a neat little spin thingie. "Mondays and Thursdays after dinner, and Tuesdays after class are bad, but I think I could make most other nights, unless the twins decide we need emergency practices right before a game. And I have dinner with Simon at least once a week, which usually means I'll spend a few hours with him, but I can do that any time but Tuesdays because he's got his Vegas show on Tuesdays. So, um, how does this Friday work for you?"
He tried to move forward a little bit and was very proud of himself when he did not end up on his face or behind. "Ha!" he laughed in triumph, "I didn't fall!" Okay, so he'd moved maybe six inches, if that, but progress was progress, right?
