"The Banishing Charm does exactly what its name implies - it sends objects, big or small, away from you," he continued.

A demonstration seemed necessary, so he pointed his wand NOT at the trunk but at a scrap of parchment on his desk, gave it a little sweep and repeated the spell. "Depulso." The parchment flew across the room and landed on the floor at the back of the room near the refreshment table.

"You'll have a chance to practice in a few minutes - and don't worry, you won't be dodging trunks today! That was only a hypothetical question," he added; he couldn't help but notice how nervous some of the students seemed when he'd mentioned flying trunks earlier. "You'll be practicing on the objects inside the trunk, but first we have another charm to get to. Can anyone guess what it is? Think of spells that would complement or counteract the banishing charm."

OOC: We'll be moving on again in 20 - 24 HOURS!

Ooh, Banishing Charm! This sounded exciting. Zelena quickly grabbed a piece of parchment and with her quill, wrote "Depulso - Banishing Charm. Motion is a sweep of the wand." as she watched the Professor demonstrating the charm. When she had finished writing, Zelena placed her items next to her.

She had a feeling that the spell wasn't going to be used on the trunk itself but she was relieved to have her mind put to rest thanks to Professor Marchand.

Zelena thought of a counter-spell and slowly raised her hand, her head tilted slightly to the side. "How about Accio aka The Summoning Charm?" she offered.
