Why didn’t he think of that? ”Very good, yes, that would work.”

Her tone was airy and still thoughtful. "The incantation is always said with the object you're using the spell on...and like the others, the object has to be in view to be charmed." Ves looked around for a moment, surveying the others again before continuing. "It allows you to move whatever you charm freely." Piers nodded to all those who mentioned the Locomotion Charm. ”Yep. That would work, too. Good job.”

"Wingardium Leviosa, Professor.'' ”The Levitation Charm is generally just used for... well, levitating things. But yes, you could make it float to you.” It’s not the one he would have picked, though.

Honestly the best and easiest one she could think of was levitating. "Professor I would have to agree with the others the Locomotor or levitating charms seem to be the easiest and most common to use." Don't reinvent the wheel if others have already come up with good answers, right? ....... ”Okay. Thanks for your input.” Moving on.

Originally Posted by PhoenixStar "What about Ascendio professor?" Pause. "That can lift you in the air so maybe you could float to said object?" Sure that still involved doing something, but it was a rather lazy attempt in her eyes. If she had her way she would still make somebody get things for her. ”Yes, instead of summoning the object, you could lift yourself up to reach it. Okay, good thinking.” It was out of the box a little, and that was good.

Ahaa. ”Ah, yes, ’Invito’ is in fact the same thing as the Summoning Charm, just in a different language. Hungarian, I believe.” So it was likely she met someone from the Hungarian region that day.

Finally, she swallowed the last bite of her bagel and took a quick sip of her coffee before answering. "I think I would just patronus someone to get it for me." Because all those other spells would require extra effort on her part. ”Even lazier. I love it.”

Also, was he going to share those cookies with the favorites? Alice made eyes at him. ”Ehhh, that’s more transfiguration and it wouldn’t really accomplish the task. But good try.” And why was she looking at him like that? He wasn’t sharing his cookies.

If pressed. ”Yes, it depends, but it was an open question.” So, really, anything would have worked. ”Good.”

It seemed likely to happen in her eyes, at least. First years were the best. Slytherins were the best. He laughed. ”Perfect. I even already have that talent down.” How many plates of goodies had he gotten already? Hah. Anyway,

Well, lazy people had to put things away too. She raised her hand. "If you wanted to get rid of something you'd use the banishing charm. Basically you wouldn't have to move to do anything." Not that she would ever do that, but it was true. ”Weeell, yes. But like you said, if we wanted to get rid of something, we could. In this case, we’re talking about bringing objects to ourselves, but nice try.”

"I'm extra careful to not break anything while I'm here because I know he won't be around to pamper me afterwards, geddit?"
It was important to know when to break things and when to stay in one peace. She'd mastered that art right now so you see, no need for that charm using thing...unless he wanted her to think about the lazy part??
"I'm not lazy either. Unless it's homework, I'll get it done right away if I can."
Homework was a recipe for procrastination. It didn't count. ....... ”Well...... okay.” He wasn’t sure if he should continue with that.

Though people weren't objects, the spell sort of treated them as such temporarily. ”Yep, that would work... if you wanted to summon a person to you.” Came in handy sometimes.

"I think it's only used to move objects from one spot to another but you could move an object to a spot closer to you, I guess." ”That would work, but remember that Mobiliarbus is for moving trees and plants and things. Arbus, coming from arbor, meaning trees and whatever. Target-specific.” But they could get into that later.

”Alright, guys, good job, good thinking. You all listed good options we have.” Some better than others, but he kept that thought to himself. ”But, like I said, we will be focusing on one charm today, and I’m surprised that only one person mentioned it.”
Professor Fuller waved his wand at the chalkboard to reveal the spell they would be learning:
Carpe Retractum
KAHR-pay - ruh-TRACK-tum ”The Seize and Pull charm!” he said with a look towards the Slytherin who had brought it up. ”Thanks to West, we know that the Carpe Retractum produces a rope that literally seizes and pulls our desired object toward us. What else do we know about this charm? Give me the deets. What are the rules, what are its limits? Are the bounds? What does it look like? Let’s talk about it. What’s the rope even made of? That’s a good question. Discuss.” OOC: Discuss things. Use your brains. Class will continue in 7-8 hours. |
