Hogwarts RPG Name:
Vlimia Laurel Maze the second
First Year
Default
*Everything I Know I Learned* *Adding Silently To The Noise*

Vlimia had been practicing Statua Habitum, and she had gotten it on her ninth try. Well, that wasn't entirely true. She had gotten a frame that she wasn't entirely happy with on her third try, so she tried until she got a nicer one. Call her a perfectionist, but Vlimia was content with the lovely frame on her desk.
But now the proffesor was asking them to stop practising and talk about the spell's actual meaning. Most spells were in Latin... Vlim raised her hand politely, and when she was called on, said "Well, statua could mean statue," But what did that have to do with a picture frame? "Or maybe set up, or stood up?" Because photo frames had that thing at the back that made them stand up, right? "And Habitum might mean inside. Or even to have." Vlimia concluded, because habitum sounded like inhabit, and that meant to live in or to be inside. And have... started with the same letter. Vlim also had a little hunch that it was have.
