Everything You Need to Know About Magic (but Were Afraid to Ask) [Week 3, Period 1]

[splendid-aggie.livejournal.com]

"Good morning children! I trust you have all kept cool and out of trouble since we last met," Aggie greeted warmly. She hadn't been a teenager in a very long time and it was entirely possible she'd forgot that they weren't keen on being called 'children'. Besides, looking at her students from the far end of being more than a thousand years old, and they did kind of look, well, like children. She smiled at them, "today we will be discussing communication of the magical variety."

"Last week I handwavily asked you to bring either a cauldron, a hand mirror, a bicycle mirror, an empty bowl, a computer, an empty glass, a pot for pasta, a cellular phone, a rear view mirror, a palm pilot, an mp3 player with a large display, a watch, or a graphing calculator, and those that choose to bring a cauldron, bowl, pot or glass to also bring a bottle, or more, of water with you. Please take out those items which you brought with you today and place them on the table before you."

Once Aggie had gone around around to check that each bowl, cauldron, cup, and pot had enough water, and that the other devices had a reflective enough surface, Aggie returned to the front of the group and clapped her hands together. "Excellent! Excellent! Well done everyone! Please find a partner to work with and we shall begin!"

After they were all paired off, Aggie said, "hold your hand over the surface of your item and repeat after me," she said a spell clearly and crisply and waited for them to do the same. "Now, think of your partner and look down to the surface of your object. If your partner's face does not appear, please raise your hand."

Aggie worked with each set of students before the workshop ended, giving correction, encouragement and praise where it was needed. At the end, she addressed the group once more, "good work everybody! Remember, next week we will have some special visitors from my hometown! Good-bye, children!"

[ooc: OCD is up, have at it! I'll be around for a little while tonight and tomorrow after 8 or 9 PM EST. Not sure about how active I'll be, brother just got hurt at work and I'm his Jimminy Cricket this week. Also, as there were LJ hiccups for a lot of people last week, I'm up for letting play continue on last week's post till the threads are finished. If you have a question about the divination used therein, or need me for any other reason, you can poke me on AIM at splendidmoonspy. If I haven't said so before, Aggie class posts (unless the Admins bap me for it) can stay in play until the next class is posted. I know my availability has changed since I applied for Aggie, and summer is a crazy time for most people.]

Henry had his pocket watch. The face was reflective, but the inside of the lid had been polished to a mirror-like sheen. A gold mirror, of course, but he didn't think that would cause too much trouble.

Hermione's hand mirror used to be a glass until she Transfigured it. But it still counts, right?

Chris was too busy taking notes to go and find a partner, so he'd have to wait until one found him.
