During that answering session, Hirsch had been on a bit of a walk back and forth, only stopping to hear a student's response or to talk to them directly. After Rooney answered, he found himself back at the front of the classroom once again, looking back at them all and, if he looked up, at the table with some covered objects.

Moving on? Moving on.

"That was an interesting array of answers, I have to say. It seems as though most of you have trouble concentrating on the spells themselves with intent being a problem and thinking on the spot being another." Good. Very good. "They might be problems that set you back and make you feel like you can't duel but they're problems that everyone shares." Bright side?

"There are some special cases that need something extra but mostly, practice will help you. Practice and agility. Sometimes, if you're very good with a spell, you'll find that the spell will come as naturally to you as breathing does. You won't need to concentrate as much, it'll just happen. A student of mine," Not going to name names but she would definitely know who she is. "is very good with the Featherlight Charm. Exceptional, even. To her, this spell is almost like second nature. If you can get a spell to be like that for you, always use it to your advantage. If you have a bunch of spells that can be like that for you, your opponent doesn't stand much of a chance."

He was rambling. Reel it in, Hirsch.

"But! I was looking for another answer that none of you mentioned." Not a big deal, really. "What about spells that require your fullest concentration? Or require you to keep your wand up and pointed and it means that you can't cast any other spell until you get rid of the one you're casting? What happens then?"

At those words, Hirsch smirked slightly before turning around and writing two words on the board behind him. Just the two.

"Fianto Duri," he started, turning back towards the students again, "is a very useful spell to overcome the problem I was just talking about. Can anyone tell me what it does specifically?" He'd practically given away the answer at this point. "Or! Tell me what spell it'd work well with." Come on, let's get those minds working some more.[/COLOR]


OOC: EEEEEEEE! Those were some great answers! <3 I hope that post made sense! *apologises for his rambling*

The question is simple and is two-fold: what does Fianto Duri do and what spell would it work well with? Super simple. Feel free to answer one or both questions, I don't mind. Try to be as creative as possible please ^^

I'll move the class on tomorrow at roughly 8pm GMT........ or when I get back from uni.

Thank you!
