Actually early for once, and all wits about him, he's settled in the professors seat, with his feet propped up on the desk and a book in his hands, awaiting the arrival of the students for this particular class.
His mind idly wandering about what he'll do this class, or more importantly on how to go about doing it.

Isabelle came into class with her two friends, as expected. Sera and Mary went to sit in their usual seat, but Isabelle lingered on near the professor's desk.
"Hello, Professor! Had a good holiday? What are we going to learn today?"

"Oh yes, It was quite eventful...well rather not actually...more reading and wanderings. I was planning to take a trip elsewhere but I lost track of time and before I knew it, It was too late."
He smiles.
"Oh we have big things today Isabelle, yes... and no doubt i'm sure you'll be up for the challenge."

Donall knew he needed this class for his NEWTS in the following year, but he hesitated as he arrived to the classroom. The Charms professor was nice enough, of course, but his eccentricity was just so blatant that there was only so much of it Don could handle. Just one more term left, then he'd at least be free of the strange man for a couple of months.
He walked in quickly, ignoring the Ravenclaw girl and the professor at the front of the classroom. He sat down in his usual seat, front and to the right side, closest to the door, and took out his class materials. He played with his wand while he awaited the start of class.

Isabelle beamed proudly at the professor.
"Of course I'll be!"
She turned toward her friends, Mary not having time to cover up her mimicking an overblown head to a giggling Sera. Isabelle quickly walked to her place between both of them, hitting Mary playfully on the arm before she sat down. The girls kept at their usually babbling selves as they waited for class to start.

He smiles but then takes on a more formal appearance, and becomes all business.
"Alright class, now. Today we're going to learn a rather interesting, the Disillusioning charm. Can anyone tell me what that is?"
He sits on the edge of his desk, looking around as some of the students look pensive.

Dónall stopped playing with his wand long enough to hear the question that was being asked.
Disillusioning Charm? Yeah, he knew it. But he also knew that he didn't feel like being very heard today, so he kept quiet, waiting for another student to voice their answer. He resumed the twirling of his wand and leaned back a little more in his chair.

Isabelle smiled when the professor named the spell they would learn. It had been one she had been eager to master, being able to think up quite a lot of situations where it would be useful.
She raised her hands, as a few other students did, but she spoke up before the professor could pick one to answer.
"It makes you take the appearance of your surroundings, making you practically invisible, sir!"

Very good Isabelle! 5 points to Ravenclaw. Now, can anyone tell me the incantation for the spell for an extra 5 points?"

Isabelle consulted with her friends in low whispers for a bit, but to no avail, none of them knew the incantation for the spell.

Don sat up straight, and thought hard. He knew the incantation, but required some pondering time.
When the answer finally hit him, he raised his hand and spoke out, "Abdo Egonim." He had reviewed over Christmas Holidays.

Excellent, Donall, 5 points to Slytherin. Now as miss Wesker said, the spell makes you practically invisible, but it does more then just act as active camoflauge. The spell also masks magical ability, so some magical items, especially those of a dark nature, are sometimes placed for a small amount of time under this curse.
Some ministry wizards and witches, while inspecting suspected dark houses had been hit by cursed items because they wern't as careful. Strangeling Drapes, constricting rugs are just some examples. But not all uses for this charm are dark, other times it is used for simple security. Imagine loosing some great family heirloom because someone had taken it becaused they sensed the magic in it."
Syhinad reaches into the desk and pulls forth a small hourglass.
"Here's how we do this charm."
He waves his wand in a swishing manner, enunciating in a clear voice "Abdo Egonim." The hourglass seems to vanish. "Finite" and the hourglass re-appeared.
"I'd like you to get in to pairs, and use the pillows from the corner to practice this spell on."

Don smiled, almost, at his correct answer. He had known it was right all along, but the reward for the proper incantation meant something to him much more than the mere fact that he was correct.
They were to pair off for the practical part of the class, and this was something he never liked. Rather, others didn't like pairing with him, especially his Housemates. This was due to the fallout from his House that had occured this year, but he didn't quite care.
He walked up to the Ravenclaw girl who had answered the first question and chose her as his partner, if she would have him. "Err, hi there. Would you like to partner off?"

Isabelle stared at Dónall as if he was out of his mind. She looked around the class, seeing everyone pairing up. She looked back to her friends. As usual, since they were 3, one of them had to partner up with someone else during classes.
Mary and Sera were giggling and whispering to each other, pointing at Kennedy.
Isabelle rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Yeah, sure, if you want," she said nonchalantly. She took her wand out of her sleeve and pointed at one of the pillows.
"Accio Pillow." The pillow flew straight to her. She set it on the desk, and motioned for Kennedy to sit at the empty seat next to hers.
"Want to do the honors?" Isabelle stared at Dónall with some apprehension. She still wasn't sure what was going on with the Slytherin, how different he's been from previous years.

Don sat down next to Isabelle, and pulled out his wand. "I suppose so."
With a fluid swishing motion, and an "Abdo Egonim," the pillow seemed to vanish in thin air, but only for a split second. It should have lasted longer.
"I think that shouldn't have happened so soon." he said, rubbing the back of his head, nervously. "Maybe you should give it a try..."
