SPOILER!!: Lux and Cutty

"A good question Miss Carrington." He'd have asked Mister Mordaunt to explain, given he was the one to undertake the invention of a new spell in his spare time but at the moment the boy looked positively put off for whatever reason so he'd sort through this one himself. "It's complex, first and foremost and requires a lot of concentration, intent, diligence, you name it. What you'll want to do is condition the wand to the action, find an incantation that you think describes the action you want as best as possible then while uttering this incantation you'll need to fix your intent. Make the wand understand exactly what it is you want it doing." Which wasn't as easy as it sounded but that went without saying.

...

.....

Unless she was one of those that didn't take Charms seriously and thought everything was a simple flick of the wand? For now he would refrain from asking as much because of that benefit of the doubt thing you had to pretend to respect when you became a Professor SO attention back to Cutty. "Now you were saying, Mister Mordaunt?" About the incantation working in reverse, assessing for the strength of his intent. Yes. He was listening.

SPOILER!!: Kevin

He had other ways to get information. It had even taken him a few days to get Zander to go insane and finally admit he had a crush on the ex herbology professor. Good times, good times hehe. “Like what? Homework?” he laughed now but then he frowned. He shouldn’t have said homework ..mweh.

“Wow, you just hit the nail on the head!” Kevin said sarcastically when the Professor mentioned that his anger issue was a problem. He had wanted to roll his eyes but didn’t because when the man leaned forward and he was staring at his blue eyes, the Gryffindor tried his best to look back. Which failed and he eventually averted his gaze to look at the desk. He hated it when people looked at him in the eyes, it was uncomfortable. “I’ll try to think about it…but I can’t promise it will work immediately!” he said, to be safe in case he got another episode and he would be judged again. “You know, you’re kinda cool for helping me out. Seeing as …well…you know” ahem. Their history already.

Woah! Woah woah woah! Hold up! Rewind! Playback! DID HE JUST SAY LEX WAS SUSPENDED?!

Kevin snapped his head up, a look of disbelief was on his face at first before it changed in to joy and then he laughed out loud. “Are you serious? Lex got suspended?! This is the BEST news I’ve heard ALL day!” And the day had JUST started! he looked at the door behind him , hoping this meeting was over very soon because he HAD to tell Zander this. And everyone else. Because PERFECT INFORMATION WAS PERFECT! “She was so mean to me!” he finally said, completely missing the point of what the professor was trying to say. “You know she held me hostage once?! Yeah , at a party and she tried to make Noel in to an errand boy to get her drinks , total abuse of Prefect power!” he nodded his head and crossed his arms. Leaving out the details of them crashing the party and him having been super rude to her because details weren’t important, you know? “You only said you wanted to silence and lock me up but I don’t think you would actually do that…right?” cue nervous laughter. “…but she actually DID it, insane right?!” SAY YES.

Oh right….they had been talking about that other kid who got suspended. He really wondered who that had been. Was he in the school records? Maybe he should do some investigating on his own because he was a hundred percent sure that this man wouldn’t say anything. Maybe the library kept the records? Hmm… “But if he turned out alright I can too right?” he asked after calming down. “And I’ll try to remember that I can be suspended as well” sigh. He rolled up his sleeve a bit to check his watch. “Can I go soon? I want to tell about Le---I mean , I have class soon and I need to get my books first” Forget about class man, he was so finding Zander to tell him ALL of this!

So, he was going to ignore that entire first art. It didn't matter if the boy was only asking, he was choosing to ignore and if that wasn't clear enough that he had a right to keep his reasons to himself then he didn't think explaining would help either. Instead Maddox focused on his question of homework. "Yes...homework would be a good alternative, other clubs as well. Extra credit things for Professors--trying to make friends and be normal. Take your pick." Really, it wasn't that hard.

Once again he ignored the sarcastic backlash. As far as he was concerned, whenever the boy got like this he wasn't addressing him but obviously an invisible force in the room. See? Benefit of the doubt. NO WAY was he talking to HIM like THAT. "I don't expect you to change overnight or even in the course of a day. What I expect is to see you trying." So the next time he felt like yelling and being disrespectful in his class, he didn't expect a tantrum. That was SO last class. Maddox allowed himself a small smile at what might have been gratitude on the part of the boy. "It's no problem--so long as you're sincere about this. If you want to change I'm willing to help."

.....Aaaaand now Mister Hirase looked like someone had given him an early Christmas. Right then...."Lex?....Sure...if you mean a Cambridge, otherwise, no idea what you're on about." But the boy just kept going. Abuse of power, hostage, insane. Seemed legit under Hogwarts management. "Completely insane, outrageous even." He offered helpfully with the most solemn of nods despite the fact he didn't see the big deal, especially not when it came to him. "Of course, only a joke. Otherwise I'd be unprofessional." In truth he was completely unprofessional, meant every word and was only trying to make this kid feel better but you know, what you don't know won't hurt you.

Back to the matter at hand, however. The Charms Professor straightened a little. "I think there's hope for almost anyone. The fact you are willing to change already proves that you're more likely to turn out okay and if you're willing to take everything we discussed seriously then I see no point in keeping you here." He nodded toward the door. "Enjoy your breakfast before it runs out." Or had they not started serving that yet? What time was it even?

SPOILER!!: Zeke

Someone else that wasn't aware. It didn't truly surprise him, in fact, Maddox had come to understand that most didn't know and were content to keep on not knowing. He could have left young Zeke in the little world of ignorant bliss but he'd already sprung open the can of billywigs so he might as well. "Yes. 'Dark Charms' but charms nonetheless. They can further be broken into 'hexes', 'jinxes' and 'curses' but on a broader scale, yup, charms."

A little further explanation might not hurt. "Try to remember what a charm does, Mister Rogers. They essentially alter the appearance or behaviour of an object." To keep it plain and simple. "A spell like...say....Tarantellegra changes the behaviour of one's feet. A curse like...--the flagrante curse, causes an object to scorch all who come in contact despite that not being the original purpose of the object."

Did he see it now?

As for aim. "Practice." Heh. Yeah. No way around that. "I do recommend providing a challenge for yourself while you work, however, otherwise it gets tedious and little gets done. Some people find they work better under duress. Maybe you're one of them. Who knows, maybe your aim improves when someone else is aiming at you." Something to consider.

SNORT. Why did so many boys want to be violent? Seemed that Bay was one of the exceptions because he was generally one for non-violence unless someone was messing with her. The spell did sound pretty interesting, however, she had to admit. "How do you create spells?" she asked curiously because she really did need to know that for the spell she wanted to create with Bay.

Or perhaps deep down he found the face hitting the fist far more entertaining prompting him to shift his intent unconsciously. He considered the ridicule factor of someone's hand clearly being out of their control versus the lack of clarity one risked with a face drawing quickly into the hand where ever it may be placed. Not to mention the fact that someone could adjust the position of their hand and make it look a bit more natural or place something soft between their fist and their face. A slow smile was forming... Only to be destroyed and replaced with a stern frown by Lux's interruption. She was fired. She was so, so fired! He was never bringing her on another outing again. "A good question Miss Carrington."

"I always thought they were their own category..." but apparently they weren't, not really... cause CHARMS was a thing and Transfiguration was DIFFERENT.. those were... were... well, JUST SPELLS. But back onto what Professor Quigley was actually saying, cause those sounded like LOTS of good things.
