Botros took his wand out from his jacket when professor McCormack asked the kids to do the first portion of today's activity. He pulled away from the desk, finally, and did a small hop off the dais - enjoying the healthy knees while he could. Nothing to judge here. He started roaming around the class with the history professor, looking at the students' work and scribbles. He couldn't help but see how sad they all looked with their wrinkles, grey hair and hunched backs. It took a lot of self-control not to stop the lesson and just ask them to go and take a nap while he went off to St. Mungo's and get them the potions he was taking. They'd help. He knew this much.

The kids had fifteen minutes to do what professor McCormack asked them to before Botros went back to the desk and cleared his throat, "Okay. Please put your quills down, the ones who managed to do this have done well with their drawings. Professor McCormack and I approve of them. But they're for later use. For now, I'd like to ask you a couple questions before we discuss something about those amulets." His voice was very less raspy than it used to. He wouldn't know the difference but some of the kids could.

"Most of you have mentioned how those amulets, and other ones in other cultures and eras, have been used mainly for protection of or against someone or something. They're hung in houses or used as jewelries as Professor McCormack had explained." Botros was pacing on the dais, though keeping his eyes on his old students. "However, the magic in those amulets is sometimes disabled or suppressed or forced to stay inactive for a period of time. This amulet for example--" He held out the eye shaped one, "--was crafted for protection against negative energy and the 'evil eye' as Egyptians put it. But it won't work if I wear it, no matter how I charm it or attack it, it won't work." He paused, putting the amulet down, then went to the box and gave it a gentle tap with his wand. "We have replicas of those amulets here, each one of you will get one." They floated in the air, each amulet resting on a desk for the students.

"I want you to tap the amulets with your wands, specifically the side with the engravings on it, and say very clearly, SpeRevelio." He demonstrated; holding the eye amulet, tapping it and loudly saying the incantation.

Runes faded in and out for a moment but they appeared and eventually stabilized to the naked eye.

Oh and. "Prefects, please make sure the younger students of your houses are not having trouble with this spell. If anyone needs my or Professor McCormack's help, please raise your hand." Now they were ready to answer.
