"Yes, Protego." Truebridge agreed. "And we'll be practicing this today."

She decided to go with one and raised her hand. "Theres a shield which changes glass to sand, sir."
She'd give some more answers if nobody else filled in the blanks.
"Yes, thank you Celandine. In fact that particular shield is one we will be touching on today."

"Yes, the Patronus charm. We aren't going to work on that one today, but we will in a future lesson."

"Right, Evan. Expelliarmus is a defensive spell."

"Yes the Protego variatons are defensive spells. Good Dillon and Santi."

"Yes Finite Incantatem and Finite can be used defensively. Impervius is in some ways, if one is trying to avoid liquid based spells in particular."

Defensive spells, that would be...Teegan raised her hand in a fluid motion, "Incarcerous, Professor." She told the professor, she had a strong urge to do anything it took to make those suits of amours to stop making so much noise, it was really starting to annoy her.
"Good. Incarcerous is certainly useful defensively." Truebridge agreed.

For him, that could really happen, that offensive spells could be performed as defensive spell... when people would use them right... and in a creative way.

After another long moment, she hesitantly rose her hand. "Do you just mean spells that were like....invented for the purpose of defense or spells that could be used defensively?" She mused, vaguely remembering the last lesson she had with the professor. "Cause if its the former then spells like Finite, Protego, or the Fidelius Charm are some. But if its the latter then a lot of spells could be used defensively I think. Immobulus or Impedimenta could be used to stop a spell or object. You could use a Conjuring spell to conjure object to use for defense. Muffliato....could be used defensively in a duel. Kinda like an element of surprise thing, so if your opponent can't hear you then you have a greater chance of winning the duel?" Maybe? Arya lowerd her hand, still musing over her answer, unsure if she was correct or not. But that was the reason he was so vauge right? So they could think outside the box. That's what she told herself as she picked up her notebok and jotted down some notes.

"Ah yes. We have touched on this before. Offensive spells can be used defensively and vice versa. Thank you both for that." He had left it open for those answers to be given intentionally.
"But we are going to work specifically on shielding today. Protego, The glass to sand shield Celandine mentioned plus two others. I believe one of the others has been on the transfiguration curriculum in the past... perhaps... three or four terms ago?" Truebridge hinted.
Surely someone knew what he spoke of. It was particularly useful when conjuring arrows...
