YES! They were going to be able to try it! Dustin leaped out of his chair and stood next to his desk, fiddling about in his robes before he was able to find and extricate his wand. He was just about to try the charm for the first time when he realized he had a question.

"Professor?" the small Ravenclaw asked, raising his hand. "I have a question. Why is the wand movement different for the two different applications? What is it, magically, about performing the charm on ourselves as opposed to something else that requires a different wand movement? How does the magic know?" He still hadn't quite wrapped his head around the fact that magic wasn't a sentient being.

As he waited for an answer, he turned back to his desk. Dustin tapped his desk, muttering a half-hearted "Disillusiona." Of course, nothing really happened, but he could swear the desk looked a TIIIINNNYY bit more transparent. JUST A SMIDGE.
