Course Sign Ups.
[/font]Classes, of course, are essential here at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is, obviously, a school where students come to learn. Here we have a list of classes, and descriptions of each class, that students may sign up for. Now, remember boys and girls, if you're not signed up for a class it is not wise to go and play around in it. The professors won't be very pleased with you and such can result in unwanted detentions.[/font]
Students must sign up for all core classes.
Students who have not achieved at least an Acceptable Ordinary Wizarding Level, which is taken a student's fifth year of learning, may not take that class their sixth year.
Students who have not achieved at least an Exceeds Expectations Ordinary Wizarding Level, which is taken a student's fifth year of learning, may not take the Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test Class their sixth or seventh years.

CHARMS
Professor ----- -----
Charms are a type of magic spell concerned with enchanting an object to behave in a way that isn't normal for that object. Charms is also something of a catch-all for spells that aren't Transfiguration (spells that change the inherent nature of an object). In some sense, if a spell isn't Transfiguration, it's probably a Charm.
