IC/OOC: Dumbledore's Army Meeting! WHO: DA Members who would like to come and succeeded in getting past the Student Authority without getting caught. WHAT: The first spell practice meeting since the days of Umbridge... WHERE: The Room of Requirement. WHEN: Midnight, after-hours. WHAT: IC/OOC!
Hannah was right. The practice dummy needed a new hat. Ginny had asked for a sombrero and the room (amazingly) provided. How Hogwarts had a sombrero...she didn't want to ask.
The general consensus was that they were there to practice defense spells! Ginny rattled off the ones they were talking about in the journals (the Patronus Charm, Disillusionment Charms), but they were there to practice anything and everything the group wanted.
Since it is very difficult to sneak out past hours without getting caught, please specify if your character had a hard time getting there/what methods they used or if they couldn't. PLEASE NOTE: With disillusionment charms, the charm doesn't act like an invisibility cloak, but makes the caster into a bit of a chameleon. They blend in with their surroundings, but they can still be very vaguely seen. Like all magic, the strength of the charm depends on the caster and how adept they are at charms. The spell can last 1 minute minimum, 3 minutes maximum. If they bump into/touch anything while the spell is active, it fades off! Also, Mrs. Norris can see through the charm. ;)
