creepy looking
gassy
gray hair
sore on the eyes
grandmother turtle
worried people might drop dead
snogging is awkward
And then there was this screaming guy, who made Piers’ old heart nearly have an attack:

Piers blinked at the kid as he woke up. ”Uh, hello, thank you. Welcome back to class.” And then he gave him a LOOK that said do it again and lose points. But he wasn’t taking any now, because he himself had been snoozing not too long ago.

There were, of course, a couple of examples by students that Piers had to comment on.

Like the yelling, for instance. ”OKAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT,” he yelled back crankily. Yarg.


Ah, yes. Botros. Professor Fuller gave her a look. ”I’m sure that, uh... has nothing to do with it.” HE had no idea, but he didn’t want to go blaming the old young guy. Plus, he didn’t want these kids ganging up on him, either. Not that it WAS his fault. Anyway,



And then there was Mo. Rambling Mo. Dagburn? Smartalecky? Nogging? Not a lick of sense among the lot of them... Yeah, okay, Mo. Someone hadn’t taken their meds this morning, eh? ”Thank you for your input.”



And this girl. Piers wheezed out a laugh, but was secretly jealous of her lack of OLD-ness. Why was she not a Slytherin? She seemed like a Slytherin.



”Weeeell...” Piers paused, mid-thought and thought about how to approach this question. He was mildly surprised she was the only one who asked about a permanent fix. ”We’re working on it. I’m sure our charming school Healer will be able to fix it.” He didn’t need to mention the presence of Ministry healers at the school, did he? Didn’t want to make the kiddos worry.

The Charms professor was just about to continue with the lesson when --



*deadpan*

He was not doing this today.

”LISTEN OR LEAVE, TOUSSIANT.” WAS THAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU???



”Alright, you all came up with a fairly decent list. All reasonable complaints. All of which I agree with.” Unfortunately. ” Today we will be aiding a few of these little bugs. The first little handy spell is one I like to call the Swish-and-Facelift. A simple swish of the wand, a simple incantation, and--” Piers snapped his wrinkled fingers for emphasis ”Your face is defying gravity. You look younger, feel younger, less saggy, less wrinkly.” Turning to board again, he again started to write.

Frontis Allevatus
(FRON-TISS - AL-EH-VAY-TUSS)


”Frontis Allevatus,” he read out loud, putting a hand behind his back secretly trying to massage it because it ACHED. ”With a swish of your wand, this charm will lift your facial wrinkles. Now, as with most things in life, practice makes perfect. You’re not going to look young with just one single swish. It’ll take a few to get rid of stubborn wrinkles. However... TOO many times will have you looking like a balloon at its limit. And your face WILL stick that way, so be careful.” He was so not liable for this, right?

That being said, it was time to demonstrate. ”Everyone pay attention!” Piers grabbed his wand and a mirror. Looking at his sad wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, He swished his wand over the area once while saying the incantation, ”Frontis Allevatus.” and his wrinkles were lifted away from his eye, almost as good as new. Almost.

”I want you to practice the incantation first before trying it on your own. If you are lucky enough not to look like a raisin, find someone with the symptoms and practice on them. I’m sure they would be willing to get any help they can.” Who wouldn’t want a free facelift??!?!


OOC: Please make at least three posts for this activity. For example, one for practicing the incantation and two for trying out the charm. You will get two points per post, but only 6 points (three posts) total. You CAN make as many posts as you want, but if your post doesn't contain either practicing the incantation or performing the charm, please don't number it. It's distracting. You only need to number the posts that I explained. You will have 45ish hours to complete this task before we move on! Have fun! Feel free to work with a partner and I encourage to to RP with someone you normally don't! =)


Anna looked in the mirror trying copying her professor's movement first, then tried to make sure she was saying it right, "FRON-TISS - AL-EH-VAY-TUSS!" Always good to say it slow first, right? She repeated it a little faster, but paused, for some reason she'd slipped and instead of 'Al-eh-vay-tuss' it came out 'Eh-a-vlay-tuss'... At least she wasn't waving the wand yet right? She gave a slight giggle to herself at her slip up... They were ok, after all right? So long as she didn't end up hurting another student or something on those lines right?

She tried again slower that time and smiled catching it easily that time. Annaleecia spoke a little quicker to put it together and got most of it out clearly. She smiled and did it again, coming out almost exactly as it was supposed to. She nearly squealed in delight and smiled, "Frontis Allevatus!" K... She was pretty sure she had that covered... now to find someone who needed to get rid of the wrinkles to test it on, right? After all, she didn't have any wrinkles right now.
