There were way more cleaning spells than Eliza had ever realized. The list seemed to go on and on, so much so that she wondered how anyone could remember all of the incantations and wand movements for everything. She was already starting to get a few spell details confused and she was only a third year. Well, at least she didn't say no to the fire idea. Knew it was a stretch but...oh? Suddenly she felt someone watching her. She turned her head slowly until she saw who was boring holes into the back of her head. Daichi! Shoot and I said FIRE! She hadn't really thought that through, but at least they weren't going to be doing what she'd suggested. She looked at him and mouthed the word "sorry" silently, and raised her shoulders.
Facing her desk again, she pulled out her wand to clean the desk. "Scourgify!" A just like magic...snicker the desk was clean. She knew that spell wouldn't be any trouble though. The new spell was interesting though.
She practiced the word a few times, quietly and with her head down. "Poe-lee-oh-tussss" Maybe that was where the S shape came into play. Why an S shape, she wondered. "Poliotus, poliotus, poliotus." It reminded her of polio and a lotus flower, easy train of thought there.
Now she practiced the S she with her wand in her left wand. Not like that was hard though. If she couldn't write an S by now, she had bigger problems than a unpolished desk. She felt confident that the spell would work, so she gave it a shot.
"Poliotus!" said firmly along with an easy, large S over her desk, and she watched as the matte finish began to buff, gleam, and reflect. Nice! she thought, and wondered what else she could shine up around the school. Hearing West's question about the Glisseo spell, she couldn't see why you'd want things to be so smooth they were slippery. Except maybe for silverware, but still you wouldn't want your food to get away... Maybe for the gems in jewelry?
