Precise and to-the-point.

"Right you are, Aiden, Helena. Take a point each."

She sounded as if she'd tried that out. Jared smiled. "Good example, Evelyn. Take two points for Slytherin."

I believe that this spell was used during the Battle of Hogwarts to turn one of the staircases into a slide and avoid attacking Death Eaters." She looked around the room and at all the ice. "And....I suppose this spell could also help one ice skate without the use of skates..."

"That's two points for Gryffindor."

‘I think Hermione Granger used it to turn a staircase into a slide during the Battle of Hogwarts so that she, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley could avoid attacking Death Eaters.’ There…and that’s all I know.

"And two for Ravenclaw."

That was a new one. Then again, Eino's answers tended to be out-of-the-box. "Take two points for Ravenclaw," Jared said, giving the boy a nod.

"Glisseo is a fairly simple charm and, if used at the right time, it can be a quite useful one as well. Like most of you have said, it makes an uneven or rough surface smooth and slippery. The incantation - Gliss-SAY-oh -" He emphasized the 'say' - "Comes from the French word, Glissière, meaning 'to slide.' To cast the charm, just point your wand at the object you want to change, concentrate, and say the incantation."

"Go ahead, and give it a try. You can try it on your desks, your textbooks, even the soles of your shoes. Use Finite Incantatem to nullify the effects of the charm, before you give it another go. Fifth years and above, I'd like you to try casting the charm non-verbally."
