Hahaaaaaaaa! The looks on their faces were absolutely priceless. Piers was trying his best not to just laugh at all the students who just realized they had NO idea what they were eating. Honestly, he didn't know either. Could have been erasers, dust bunnies, their classmates' robes... who knew?
As the students shot around answers, Piers nodded and slowly paced back and forth, his arms crossed over his chest. Daydream charm, illusion charm, room of requirement charm. A lot of the suggestions were the same, but he approved each one with a nod. Except there were a few that were just... odd. Those were met with a simple, curious raise of the left eyebrow.
"Very good! Most of you gave good answers. Others are too Ravenclaw for your own good." He shot a specific look to that Huxley girl. "For those of you who suggested the daydream charm, you are correct."
And with that, the professor took hold of his wand and gave it a little swish. Suddenly, the happy illusion of the cheery outdoors vanished and they found themselves again in the darker, gloomier interior of the castle. What could he say? He lived to disappoint. "Everyone, take a seat." The desks and chairs were set up in their normal rows. Except this time, each desk had a goblet of water on it.
Putting away his wand, Piers walked to the front of the class. "Now, this daydream charm is similar to the product that you may have seen or heard of at that charming little Weasley shop in Diagon Alley. But whatever you think you know about that product, just put it aside. We're starting from scratch.
"The charm I used on all of you today was attached to the doorframe. So, when you walked through it, it altered your state of mind. Now, as cool as that is," Yes, he was boasting, "Charming an empty field, such as the space of an open door frame, is rather advanced. What we'll be charming today is a simple glass of water. For those of you who attended my classes last term, you will remember that a large portion of the outcome of your charms is intent. Once you master filling your charms with your intentions, anything is possible." Did they get that? Because it was important. "Most of this charm relies on your brain, your concentration, and your ability to imagine. Think you can handle it?"
Piers watched them for a second before turning to the board. Picking up a piece of chalk, he wrote:
Sentio Somnium
SEN-tee-oh-SOM-nee-uhm
Dusting off his hands, he turned back to the front. "Sentio Somnium. That's the incantation. Everybody practice saying that out loud, let it roll off your tongue... Anybody have any idea what that means? Sentio Somnium?" |
