The Professor seemed like she wanted to hear a word or two from her so she'd humour her.

"Well...I don't actually know the name of this but I think there's a curse that causes you to vomit slugs..." Will threatened her with that once, he never did it again... "And I think there's another one that causes hair loss?" Yeah...she wanted to learn that one before summer.

Oops. She had stunned the Gryffindor perhaps, by calling her out? But well, if the Gryffindor wanted to be on her good page, then she had to at least try? "Yes, yes! The Slug-Vomiting Charm. Good. I'm not sure of the hair-loss one..." But slug-vomiting was a good one.

Minerva put her hand back down and began writing the other curses on her parchment and notes about them so she could use them as reference later if they were to need them for the curse breaking.

"True, yes. Very good," She added that one to the list as well.

"What about the Tongue-Tying Curse, Professor? The incantation is Mimble wimble, and it is intended to prevent one's opponent or victim from being able to speak on a certain subject." It sounded dead useful, as there were lots of subjects she'd rather never talk about again.

It binds the target's tongue to keep him or her from talking about a specific subject. This feature also allows one to prevent the victim from incanting.." She finished. Hopefully she had answered correctly and it was what the Professor was looking for...

"Tongue-tied, yes." She said to the three who volunteered that curse. And nodded at the seventh year who provided some extra insight as to its incantation.

Slowly he raised his hand, unsure not of this answer but if the Professor would ask him for a counter-curse which is part of their discussion. "Professor, what about Fiendfyre? Its a cursed fire that is strong enough to burn anything, even Horcruxes"

"Definitely a curse, but not necessarily one that curse-breakers necessarily find themselves crossing," Hadley said.

And it was only when Professor mentioned it a second time, did Ira pay attention.

Curses? So they had to list the curses. That she could do do. But seeing that so many curses had already been mentioned, she racked her brains to find a new one. And dark curses too were allowed, yes? She raised her hand up and answered, "One of the dark curses is Sectumsempra." And it was quite deadly.. She had read up on it in some history books, so she continued what she knew, "Its dark magic.. very dangerous. It slashes the victims even from a distance. And can also sever a body part if applied too.. perfectly" How could someone do that?

And this one was almost as bad as what Logan had mentioned with the Unforgivables. Had Logan mentioned this one, she would have surely pulled him out of the classroom right now and demanded to know who told him such dark spells. But as it was, it was not Logan. She simply nodded at Ira; "Yes, very dark indeed. And another one that I hope none of you ever bear witness to." At least not under her watch.

What. Hadley wanted more curses? Not the right time for Kat to have a thinking block. She was a bit tired today and she wanted to sleep but she didn't, she never did, want to skip classes for the weirdest reason ever. But, hey, house points for the win. "There's the Reductor Curse, Professor," she said. "It blasts objects into a lot of pieces when it makes contact."

"Yes. Another one that goes along with Expulso and Confringo. Clearly there's many blasting spells at your disposal when it comes to spells." Hadley said.

Sigh. He blinked a few times and looked back at the blackboard. What were they doing again? OH, right, curses and stuff.

"There's the Leg Locker Curse," he said as he raised his hand. "It locks your legs together and makes it difficult to get anywhere because you have to jump and hop from place to place," he explained.

"Good one, Alex," Hadley said at his mention of the leg-locker curse.

They were discussing curses, which wasn't entirely surprising givent he previous lessons. So far they hadn't actually gotten into actual curse-breaking, though, so her mind kept going back to the conundrum that was if dementors had babies. Seeing as discussing curses just made her think of DADA, and she practically expected to see Professor Romanos appear.

So far, the other professor hadn't, and she'd heard Professor Hadley call out Alexa for suggestions, which meant she was aware of the people who didn't look like they were paying attention. Which meant her head came up again, shortly followed by her hand. As she'd thought of another curse that hadn't been mentioned yet. At least, she didn't think it had. "Professor Hadley? What about the Thief's Curse? I don't know the incantation," or didn't remember, "but it's used to keep people from stealing things. Or even thinking about stealing them, but generally it's cast on actual thieves." That sounded kind of like a superhero curse, except for the fact she was fairly sure superheroes wouldn't use curses.

"That's definitely a curse. Usually found more on objects as a protective type charm, than anything else," Hadley said, by way of explanation.

As usual Sarah liked to go off topic, "Can one remove a curse from a book, like the Sonnets of a Sorcerer?" she asked.

"The Ear-Shriveling curse, yes." Hadley said to the young Gryffindor, adding that one to the growing list. She then turned around and looked back at the second year, and blinked at her question, stunned. "Um... Good question, but I doubt it. That book has been cursed for centuries, so if someone hasn't figured it out by now, then it's probably unlikely."

"Professor what of the Conjunctivitis curse, it burns and stings the eyes of the target,and wouldn't that curse be useful to the Curse Breaker? What if there was something guarding the treasure, it'd make for a useful distraction on a troll, or even a dragon." Cause everyone knew Dragons always guarded treasure.

"That it would be... It would actually be one likely cast on a curse breaker as well, to protect the treasure." Just saying. It wasn't uncommon for curse breakers to be hit with curses as deterrents.

Hmm... Oh! "There's the Oppugno Jinx," she said, raising her hand. "It has the word jinx in it, of course, but it's used as a curse, too. It causes a person or an object to attack the victim."

Like that one version where birds were used to attack the victim. Avis Oppugno, she thought.

"Yes, this is very true. Good one," Hadley nodded at Sierra, adding that to the board as well.

She hadn't heard lots about the subject other than what she had heard today and as for curses all the ones she knew had been said.

All except one more she could think of. It was strange that this one of all curses appeared in her mind, but there was nothing better she could think of.

The Hufflepuff put her wand gently on her table and raised her hand as she waited her turn."Professor there's the Curse of the Bogies which gives the victim a very strong cold as well as a runny nose that may even make them collapse." She could go back to twiddling her wand now right? Well hopefully she could because she did.

Hadley smiled at the next curse mentioned. "Yes, yes. Curse of the bogies. Famous spell that one is and yet rather tricky to cast on someone..."

"I'm not sure what you mean by that?" Hadley said, raising a brow at Laura. "There are several curses that can cause destruction..."

She couldn't understand how a person could actually use it on someone else.

Hadley nodded at the girl's suggestion this time. "Yes, yes. Better."

"Right, so inside this box..." She slowly and carefully opened it to reveal what they would be working with today. A small golden bracelet with four metal charms on it ~~a serpent, an eagle, a lion, and a badger~~. "One of my most treasured pieces of jewelry ... seems to give me issues whenever I wear it." She pouted pointing to the redness on her left wrist.

"So we alluded to this in the last lesson, but what spell can tell you if this bracelet is indeed cursed?"
