I don't think diffindo can break up tiny elements, can it?".

"We're not going to get rid of all the water, Chloe," Jared said, giving the girl a bit of a smile. While it wasn't hard to see why some of the students seemed to have gotten that idea in the beginning, it was surprising to know they hadn't let go of it after hearing what charm they would be learning.

Hope that won't be a problem for me to figure this class out.''

Jared grinned. "No I'm not, kid. The difference you're missing would be that, while everyone's guesses were opinions, all opinions are not guesses." The Gryffindor's opinion on charm hadn't had much, if anything at all, to do with an actual answer.

And?

"If it is, we can work out a time for you to take Remedial Charms."

Moving on.

"We'll use it to split things," Jared said. "Of course, any charm is likely to look like a magic trick to a muggle."

"Unless you possess a superhuman power I'm not aware of, I believe you can't split this desk into two in under a second with your own hands, Joshua," Jared said, face deadpan and voice neutral. "That's one of the things a Severing Charm can do."

Besides, which -

"I didn't ask for an opinion on how useful the charm is. Your essay on why it's not a good idea not to pay attention in class, should be on my desk tomorrow morning. Fourteen inches, at the least."

"It is a spell used on baby crup's tails..." Yeah, she remembered that lesson very clearly Professor Saylen.

Or if you're just in the mood to demolish some pineapples. Pineapples were tasty, they made her feel all Hawaiian-y. Hawaii would be a cool place to go to. Lots of beaches. And coconuts. They were good too. And don't forget pineapples.

"Oh yes i know this" She quickly raised her hand and said "Professor, Diffindo, it is an incantation for the Severing Charm. It can rip, divide and also separate objects from each other. If the spell is not used in the right way it can also cut human flesh" Oh!!!! That is going to be a hard spell to practice. she thought. After she finished saying that she took her hand down.

The Gryffindor was already excited at the prospect of trying out this Charm.

"You're all correct," Jared said, giving the class a collective nod. "Take two points each. Diffindo is the incantation for the Severing Charm, and Latin for 'split' or 'cleave.' The charm splits or divides its target and, depending upon a caster's abilities, it can be one of the weakest or most powerful charms out there. Someone with enough power and concentration could divide this classroom into two without having to say the incantation out loud."

"This charm is a historically famous one, and there are a number of recorded instances of famous witches and wizards using - or attempting to use - it. Does anyone know about any of these instances?"

OOC: There are plenty of examples of Diffindo being used in both HP canon and SS canon, but please list only one so others can get a chance to mention something new.
