RP Grand Hall

J: Do you think her boggart's her own reflection? Cos damn, if I looked like that I'd be terrified, too.

Millie giggled despite her plummeting mood.

M: Her amortentia must be herself, too, because she just can't seem to get enough of herself.

J: The woman thinks she farts fairy dust and sneezes gold.

M: And poops rainbows.

E: Can we not talk about excrement, please?

J: Wuss.

M: Everybody does it.

Millie leaned against the wall, arms crossed against her chest.

E: Not everybody.

Evangeline sniffed, twisting her lips slightly.

J: Should be starting soon.

Millie snorted at Evangeline's response.

M: Anyone else nervous?

J: Nope.

E: Somewhat.

R: A bit.

They all said at exactly the same time.

M: Good, because I am.

She rubbed her arm and tried to keep all thoughts of things going wrong out of her head.

J: You're gonna be fine.

E: I doubt you'll get splinched.

M: I know.

But there was always that possibility...she entertained herself by flicking harmless sparks at the wall and watching them bounce off.

Once everyone arrived, the teacher, a wiry man with round spectacles entered.

Mr Splindly: Hello, everyone, and welcome to your first apparition lesson! I'm Cecil Splindly from the Ministry.

A: He looks... Odd...

J: He looks like a praying mantis.

Though she stayed quiet, Evangeline, but agreed.

CS: So, who can tell me the three 'D's of apparition?

Evangeline's hand went up, unsurprisingly.

E: Destination, determination, deliberation.

CS: Brilliant.

There was a 'pop', and he appeared on the other side of the room.

A: Woah...

CS: As you can see-

Pop!

CS: The anti-apparition charms-

Ping!

CS: Have been lifted-

Snap!

CS: Temporarily.

The lesson began, with Mr Splindly explaining how to begin to apparate.

Amy twirled again, squeezing her eyes shut, her hair (which was dark pink and floating like it was in water) slapping people in the face as she spun.

A: I can't do it!

L: I'm getting the hang of it I think.

She spun, one eye open hopefully.

Millie watched with wide, curious eyes.

M: How long did it take for you to master it, Mr. Splindly?

She tried to ignore how much his name sounded like 'splinch'.

CS: Oh, a couple of months to get the basics!

Evangeline squeezed her eyes closed and managed to move two centimetres to the side, as she had already received lessons earlier in the year at Beauxbatons.

CS: Bravo, Miss Loveridge, bravo!

E: Thank you!

A few of the thicker ones applauded, just a smattering. She smiled and kept practicing, managing a couple of centimetres each time.

With a great deal of concentration, Millie managed to move at least half of what Evangeline was doing, despite ending up bumping into the balls a few times.

M: Ow!

She exclaimed, having bonked her forehead.

J: Spatial awareness, genius.

Jasmine sneered.

*WALLS omg

J: Be aware of not being wanted, Jizzmine.

Jasmine scowled at James.

J: I think you know all about not being wanted, James.

Sirius was quite good, but Lily was slowly getting better, almost as good as Evangeline.

S: Good one Evans!

He clapped her shoulder, grinning, as she moved a few centimetres.

A: Agh!

Amy had splinched, leaving all her pink hair on the floor.

A: AGH!
