Winter Term Normal Charms Class

Khaat came into the classroom, Archangel on her shoulder. She wasn't sure how formal Jess had been, but she chose not to wear formal robes, and instead she chose a slim green silk dress. She went up to the board and wrote, "Reparo" on the board. She knew some of them might have learned this spell already, but it was one that a new wizard--and sometimes an experienced one--used often. She conjured a number of empty coffee cups on her desk and began double checking that she didn't forget anything.

"Good morning," Khaat said cheerfully. She recognized the student from the teashop at once. She was not about to bring up the prophesy about him or about to treat him one ounce differently from any other student. She presumed he had lessons tough enough ahead of him.

"Good morning," Khaat said with the same cheerfulness as she had for any other student. Whether Miseria was her daughter or not, she would be treated, during this class, like any other. It was the only fair way to be for everyone involved, and Khaat knew that Miseria would not expect special treatment. She was very capable of earning her own grades, and Khaat knew that full well.

"Good morning, Ladies," Khaat smiled, "I'll wait a few moments before I begin. But in the meantime, would you introduce yourself and tell me what charm you like best so far and tell us why?"

"Welcome, Class," Khaat said warmly. "I am Khaat Lupin. You don't have to call me Professor Lupin--that was my uncle. You can just call me Khaat. Welcome to Charms class. I will be filling in for Professor Potter for awhile, as I said in my owl to you all, so there may be some overlap or gaps between what he taught and how he taught it. For that I do apologize. If the gap is uncomfortable for you in either direction, please come talk to me in my office outside of class time. My office is just down the hall, and the name is on the door. As for class rules and guidelines, we will be following the same rules and guidelines as Professor Potter's, so I am sure you are familiar with those.

"My goal for this class is to teach you some things that I think will be practical. However, I also want the class to be fun and interesting, and in order to do that we both need to make an investment in the class--you as students, and me as the instructor. I will be open and honest with you and do all I can to help you. In return, I expect your honesty and your efforts at making this class successful for yourself and your classmates.

"Now--for introductions. Please state your name and what you would like to learn most out of this class. Oh, and one more thing. please tell me your favorite charm so far. Who will begin?"
