Aidan had been sat in the corner, not wanting to be late for his first Charms lesson. He was a bit surprised at the shouting of answers. He wasn't a very shouty-outy kind of person. He liked to put his hand up and be picked on. He wasn't used to being surrounded by all these older students. They clearly knew way more than him, and he didn't like that. He liked feeling clever. He'd have to try and shout out something.
What is a Charm? Well, he thought, transfiguration changed an object/being into another. Charms made things move, stop, fly and such. But how would you define that? They change the properties of an object? Yeah, someone had already said that. They change an object/being's abilities, without turning it into something else? That was a rubbish explanation. But he needed something. He couldn't just sit in the corner quietly. Well, he could, but that would achieve nothing at all, so logically it would be pointless.
"Err...Charms change the properties or abilities of an object or being, without turning it into anything else." Aidan tried to yell out, though he wasn't as loud as most people. The people around him would have heard, but anyone at the other side of the room would have had trouble, especially with the amount of people shouting things out. How could anyone learn in this environment, he wondered. He liked quiet and order. Not chaotic and loud. He would try this though. He would be open to knew things, he told himself, remembering his father's words, 'Hogwarts will help you open your mind, don't fight it son.', and he trusted his father so decided to go with it.
