Ten ♒

[wwistful]

Ravenclaw and Slytherin. It's been some time since I've assigned you work. I'd hate for your minds to wander while your professor is busy with near endless preperations, so I've taken the time to set you some busywork and warn you about your future curriculum.

First years, we will be studying the correct ways to treat and bandage wounds in an emergency. There will be practicals and you will be practising. I trust that the idea of bandaging a classmate won't throw you all into veritable fits of excitement.

In preperation for this I ask, Why put pressure on a bleeding wound?

Second years I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know we will be studying Cornish Pixies. If I'm feeling particularly magnanimous I may set one lose and have you attempt to catch it. I warn you, they do bite.

Third years can you tell me what the Lumos Duo spell is most commonly used in defence of? The answer will provide you with the subject of our next studies.

Fourth years as you've been informed, we are studying curses with a special attention to the unforgivable curses. I want you to name one and write me at least ten lines on why it has been deemed unforgivable.

Fifth years we will be studying the effective use of jinxes in battle and defence. I want you to name a jinx and write twenty lines on theoretical a situation it would be beneficial to use in.

Sixth years it is my great pleasure to announce that we are slowly ready to move on from the theory of nonverbal spells and we will begin to practise them. We will be starting with very basic spells, but remember that they take an immense amount of concentration. I advise that you rest up before classes.
You may rest, of course, once you write ten lines on the importance of nonverbal spells and what kind of things are important to perfect them. For example: To become proficient at nonverbal spells, one must become particularly good at focusing.

Seventh years will be going over theory with me and on Friday we will be having an in-class discussion about the psychological impacts of Dark Magic and curses. It will be a draining class, perhaps emotionally so. As with the sixth years, I advise you rest up and fortunately, you are free from the wrath of assignments.

Thank you and remember to ASK if you are in a state of complete and utter confusion. I would rather suffer through a stupid question than receive unsatisfactory work. It makes us both look bad when I grade you and I do so hate using red ink.

[[ooc: Homework goes here!! Also this is either back or forward dated so it doesn't clash with the event.]]

[Busywork?! Well, we'll see about that...]

[wwistful]

[He's going to reassign the work until Sherlock does it right.]

[3potionproblem]

[But he already is busy!

Though a certain kidnapped skull gets him ten lines of appeasement.]

[ihaveanappforthat]

Is there a limit?

[wwistful]

If you can overextend yourself without missing the point entirely then you are welcome to do so.

[sixbuckdropout]

[wwistful]

It's a sizeable amount. I'm sure you'll have no loss for words, the subject is a rather indepth one, even if you don't go into much detail.

If you have a question, now is the time to ask it.

[bev_rage]

[Aw yis.

Motha.

Fuckin'.

Classwork.]

oh! i kno this!!! it compeses compreses compresses the blood vassels vessels

[wwistful]

Your answer is correct, Miss Lalonde. 2 points to Ravenclaw.

That's an awful lot of strikes, do you have trouble with spelling?

[bonafide_divinity]

This seems like a simple, straightforward kind of assignment, Professor Donoghue.




What's the catch?

[wwistful]

The catch is that you have to do it and hand it in on time.
I hope that eases your paranoia, Garza. I'd hate for you to worry about all of the surprise tests I have planned.

[allisnotlost]

you knoww i wwas wwonderin wwhen youd be gettin around to another assignment

also if you need me for any of the earlier year stuff and it isnt cuttin into one of my classes i could possibly come an help since you knoww
youre so busy and all

[wwistful]

Has it been that long already? Am I going too easy on you?

If you'd like to help me set up for the third years later in the month it would be greatly appreciated, Eridan. You needn't worry about me, though. It's not as if I'm overwhelmed.

[sugaredpotions]

Professor, if any of the other third-years are having a problem with the assignment, you can send them my way. I've already put mine in the drop box outside your office. It's really not terribly difficult, it just takes a little time in the library. But that gave me a second idea for how it could be useful, besides the one that I'm sure you meant. I hope it was all right to put that in?

[wwistful]

I'll be sure to, Miss Bubbington. I'm certain they'll appreciate your help more than mine. 2 points to Ravenclaw for your eager helpfulness.
It was exemplary as ever, exactly the kind of thinking you'll need in your future studies.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Why are you giving us warnings on future topics?

[wwistful]

I've noticed some students like to research before class. Most of the assignments set are things to consider before we delve further into topics, but particular subjects will require a different frame of mind. Such as unspoken spells, which students need to be focused for.

[coffeewithtea]

It really wasn't necessary. You didn't have to trouble yourself with this.

[wwistful]

Do not under estimate the lengths I go to for your education. It was no trouble at all, and I'm sure it will be no trouble to complete.

[arrogantalloy]

When you say lines, are you saying a sentence or two or are we talking about actual paragraphs here?

[Is actually rather happy about this assignment right here.]

[wwistful]

Just lines, unless you feel like challenging yourself.

[cantfightthisfire]

That's almost too easy, Prof.

[wwistful]

I'll be sure to up the ante for you next time, Miss Prescott.
