Ryan grimaced as the professor explained about the new spell and then set them the task of cleaning out their desks and polishing it, as well as cleaning the rest of the classroom. He felt like a house elf and it wasn't a feeling he was used to, nor did he like it. He wasn't that much of a cleaner.

Sighing, he pulled out his, which looked like it could use some polishing, too. Would the spell work on his wand? But then...how would he perform it on his wand? Maybe he had to ask someone else to perform the charm on his wand for him...yeah, that seemed reasonable. Scratching his head a bit, Ryan mutter Scourgify under his breath and waved his wand over his filthy desk. Nothing happened. Blinking and looking around to see if the spell was working for others, he tried again. It still wasn't working. Getting a bit frustrated, he said, "SCOURGIFY," loudly and was finally satisfied. His desk wasn't completely clean but it was a lot better than when he arrived.
