Do tell us.


Jared resisted the urge to grin, at her remark. "No, you didn't... ish," he said. Him moving the chocolates? "Of course I moved them. But that's not what a muggle would have thought." See, Little Human?



Perfect. "That's it, exactly," Jared said. "Take two points each. There are things that muggles label as 'paranormal' or the actions of spirits, that are actually us. It could be us under Disillusionment Charms or Invisibility Cloaks, us having to perform magic in front of a muggle for some reason, us being accidentally seen practising magic or - regrettably, even though most witches and wizards have more sense than to do this - us attempting to scare muggles."

"But it isn't just muggles. Like Destiny just said, things aren't always what they seem, and it's important that we remember that, too." He stuck another marshmallow on a stick. "We'll come back to this topic in a moment as it's central to today's class but, before that, there's a charm all of you need to learn. It's a magnification charm, and it magnifies the effect of both light and shadow. Like this." He cast the charm at the fire, and the light seemed to spread out in all directions, glowing brighter, its range expanding. Returning the fire to its normal state, Jared cast it on a shadow that lurked between the trees. The shadow seemed to grow, dimming the light of the fire.

"The incantation is luxra magnifica. Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka," he repeated, more slowly. "The wand movement is a circle and an X. So." Using his wand, Jared traced a circle in the air, then brought it down twice to make a quick X in the air. "Give it a try." Little lanterns, all lit, appeared in front of each student so that they could practice the charm. "You'll need the magnified light, when we go into the Forest."



OOC: The lanterns are charmed. They cannot burn anyone/ anything. Just saying.



SPOILER!!: Evelyn

"But, bright lanterns would be so much prettier by the lake. And there are...spiders in there." Hmm, yes, in there. In there where she was pointing her wand. IN THERE! Did he see? "Big...spiders." Forget the centaurs or werewolves! Those spiders were HUGE!

What was the light spell thing again? Eh.

And she could usually burn those spiders and they'll die faster then she can blink. The ones in the forest however...she was pretty sure they could blow it out with a single GROWL.

...In her mind, spiders growled.

"Luxis Mageater." Triangle aaand...circle... Eh. Seriously, now she was all distracted. GREAT! Just great.


Well see, now she had to come up with a way to explain it.

...."It's like..I think..that you're like..pessimistic about it...I think." Something along those lines. She could totally have her mom explain it better in a letter to him if he wanted.

But she did! "And a muggle wouldn't be able to connect the dots that you moved them after they saw you disappear?" They weren't that naive.

"Oh! But it could be a poltiergeist. I mean, Peeves can make himself invisible AND move things, unlike ghosts." But their very similar to ghosts so muggles wouldn't be too far off.

Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka. Luxra Magnifica. Got it.

Unlike Spongify, though, the wand movement didn't make sense to her. But that's not to say it wasn't simple. Circle, X. Easy 'nuff.

'Give it a try'. Right.

...Wait. Forest? They were going into the Forest?! THIS WAS SO EXCITING!! Ellie'd wanted to go into the Forest for the looooongest time.

Her eyes flew in Evelyn's direction, however, when she mentioned 'big spiders'. "H-how big?" Big as in Spike's pet, Matilda's size, right? That she could somewhat handle. She'd survived Matilda after all. And this time they had Little Professor...who would HOPEFULLY protect her.

Any bigger than Matilda, though, and Ellie would NOT put up with it. Nope.

"Luxra Magnifica?" Circle, X. Yeah, she was doubting now, so nothing happened.

[size=2]"Are you sure no one's going to be eaten?" she whisperedish to Little Professor. Like sure, sure?
