"S-S-S-Sorry Professor," she blushed bowing her head several times in apology. She was only in her second year after all and it was an honest mistake. At least there were no scary 8-legged creatures swarming out of the forest towards them, right?

Aww. "It's okay," Jared said.

The kitten picked up its small ball of yarn and, happily twisting around several hay bales, reached Kurumi. Play?

It seemed that Cedric had managed to get the charm down pat, on the first try. "Nice casting, Prefect Leone."

The light grew... and grew... Nothing impressing, but she was doing okay, right?

Looking away from Cedric's lantern, Jared's green gaze fell on Helena's. "Excellent progress, Helena," he said, as the light streaming out of her lantern expanded.

Yeah, he was pretty excited.

Wiping around he directed his wand at the shadows of the forest, and called again "Luxra Magnifica!"

The darkness that clung so heavily to the trees, began to creep beyond the boundary of the treeline, plunging his lantern into darkness, till it was only but a weak flicker in the dark

....

Jared attempted to resist the urge to grin, couldn't quite, and grinned lazily. He directed his attention away from the dancing Gryffindor prefect and towards the kitten, not far off from Patroclus and attempting to gain Kurumi's attention. Dancing and kittens and people concerned about being eaten by giant spiders. But at least the class seemed quiet [for the most part], and not a bad quiet at that.

He glanced up as Patroclus tried out the charm on a portion of the darkness, and the light in the surroundings dimmed. "Excellently cast, Prefect Hudson." The boy could take a point for his house, for that bit of charm-casting.

Waving her wand like she had seen Jared demonstrate - and like she could remember her father doing, his back turned to her in the darkness - Eirian recited, "Luxra magnifica," and watched it work. Thank Merlin her accent didn't effect incantations too much... But she shine was too bright for her tired eyes and she winced, shielding herself from it. Were they supposed to keep it on..?

"Good job, Eirian." She had had a definitive manner of casting the charm that made him think she might have tried it out before. Though, of course, it could always be a natural skill for the subject or wand-handling.

"You can negate the charm if you're satisfied with the effects," he said, noticing her shielding her eyes against the bright light.

"Pessimistic about what?" Jared asked. No, he wasn't messing about.

....

Okay, so maybe he was.

"I wouldn't have let the muggle see me disappear." That would have been a poor and less-than-amateurish show of charm-casting. "Besides, muggles don't think people can just disappear. So they might classify me as a ghost, anyway." And all's well that ends well.

Hmm? "It could be a poltergeist," Jared agreed. "Or, for that matter, an actual ghost. But it doesn't have to be." 'It doesn't have to be' being the point here, really.

Her eyes had lit up for one moment at his announcement, and then it seemed Evelyn's spider talk had dampened her spirits, at least a little.

"No," he whispered back. "But since I'm not a Debbie Downer, I'm hoping no one does get eaten."

Looking up from the fire, Jared addressed the students seated around the orange-tinted fire, in general. "Picking up from where we left off, it's not just muggles that sometimes believe in things that aren't, but us, too. As you'll see, shortly." His green gaze shifted, directed at the dark trees in the near distance for a brief moment, before settling back on the class in general. "We're going to have someone that knows some parts of the Forest quite well, for a guide. Can anyone guess who?"

Not a fang-bearing, man-eating spider, unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

She could totally have her mom explain it better in a letter to him if he wanted. But she did! "And a muggle wouldn't be able to connect the dots that you moved them after they saw you disappear?" They weren't that naive. "Oh! But it could be a poltiergeist. I mean, Peeves can make himself invisible AND move things, unlike ghosts." But their very similar to ghosts so muggles wouldn't be too far off. Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka. Luxra Magnifica. Got it. Unlike Spongify, though, the wand movement didn't make sense to her. But that's not to say it wasn't simple. Circle, X. Easy 'nuff. 'Give it a try'. Right. ...Wait. Forest? They were going into the Forest?! THIS WAS SO EXCITING!! Ellie'd wanted to go into the Forest for the looooongest time. Her eyes flew in Evelyn's direction, however, when she mentioned 'big spiders'. "H-how big?" Big as in Spike's pet, Matilda's size, right? That she could somewhat handle. She'd survived Matilda after all. And this time they had Little Professor...who would HOPEFULLY protect her. Any bigger than Matilda, though, and Ellie would NOT put up with it. Nope. "Luxra Magnifica?" Circle, X. Yeah, she was doubting now, so nothing happened. [size=2]"Are you sure no one's going to be eaten?" she whisperedish to Little Professor. Like sure, sure? "Pessimistic about what?" Jared asked. No, he wasn't messing about. ....
