"Really, zank goodness... I vas so vorried," Justine said, lifting up the mirror to her face and grinning broadly when she saw her perfectly youthful looking complexion.
Still grinning away, she turned back to the young man. "Should ve do zee rest of your face? It vould be odd to leave so much of it still... Aged," Justine politely said, looking at the strange saggy-ness of the boy's ears.
Mo was about to respond when the professor reappeared at the front of the room. He leaned in, confiding in Justine with a wink and a grin. "Maybe later. Thanks for practicing with me, Justine. I promise I look loads less likely to fall over dead when I'm not all aged up. Maybe one of these days they'll figure out how to fix us instead of just fixing the symptoms."
And yeah, he'd said
us. Oops.

”With a wave of your wand over your hair, this will reverse your hair’s color to it’s previous state. Everybody watch!” Piers grabbed his wand and waved it over his head in one circular motion.
”Senectus Reversus,” he said while doing so, and the little gray hairs he had were instantly reversed and his lovely curly brown hair was restored.
He wasn’t going to mention that it actually wore off in like, three hours. Shhh. They didn’t have to know that now.
”Your turn. Write it down, give it a try. Practice the incantation, practice the wand movement. Once you think you got it, you may be dismissed. For your homework, I would like you to practice this charm and test it out on yourself or someone who has the unfortunate case of gray hair.” After that was said, he turned back to the board to write the
homework down.
”If you don’t have any questions after you’ve practiced the incantation, you’re free to go!” And he was gonna take a nap.
OOC: If you want points, make one more post practicing the new incantation and wand movement! I’ll close this thread on Tuesday (the 4th) at 7:00 PM EST, so you have until then to finish the first activity and practice the new charm. Click HERE for the homework assignment. Mo had given up on dyeing his gray hair about the point where he couldn't keep up with how fast it was changing, so he had plenty of hair to choose from. Unfortunately, it was up on top of his head where he couldn't see it. He tried tugging it down in front of his eyes, he tried crossing his eyes trying to stare at his forehead... frankly, his hair was impossible to see at the moment.
Finally, he opted to lay the mirror down on his desk and lean waaaaaaaaaay over it until he could see his own reflection. Or at least the reflection of his hair. Carefully, he tried out the wand motion, drawing a small circle in front of his hair. Over. And over. The motion was easy. The incantation was pretty challenging, but he'd listened carefully as the professor spoke it.
"
Senectus Reversus," he tried in a clear voice, drawing the circle right on top of his head. If it went wrong, he'd have an amazing story to explain his brand new bald spot. It didn't go wrong, though, and the spot on his head went from gray to brown. AMAZING.
Was that it, then? "Thanks for the lesson, Professor," he called as he shoved his text and parchment back into his bag. There, see? He was all packed up.
