Probs not. "just figured out. An extra 10 points to Ravenclaw!"

Oh, it felt good to award points! How exciting.

"Now, since you all still have the hiccups, we are going to learn the handy little spell that will get rid of them." Waving her wand at the chalkboard, the list of muggle tricks disappeared and a new spell appeared in its place, in the same, wiggly, terribly old-lady hand writing.

singultus fixus
(sin - GUL - tuss - FIX - uss)

"Singultus fixus!" Dolly said, as an example of how to pronounce it. "Now, for our last activity I want you all to practice the incantation and wand movement and then help someone else get rid of their hiccups. Of course, if you wish to work alone, that's just fine. Now -- the wand movement!" Dolly lifted her wand and then did the quickest little tap in the air. "It's quite simple, just lift your wand and pretend like you are going to tap the person on the nose. Just a quick little tap. But don't actually touch them - that could be quite dangerous." Maybe. Perhaps. Who knew.

Dolly tucked her wand away again. "Alright everyone! Get to work! Practice your spells and get rid of those hiccups!" Oh, weren't they so glad for her help?!

OOC: It's time for the main activity! Have your character practice the spell and incantation. Then have them get rid of either their own hiccups or someone else's. You can partner up with someone if you like, but it's not necessary. Students WILL be able to cast the spell on themselves. If your character has a question for the professor, please put "Professor" in your post title. There is NO minimum post requirement - post in as many or as little posts as you want/need You have about three and a half days to complete this activity (until January 17th at about 9 PM (GMT-7))

………………….

What did she MEAN that this was all for N O T H I N G?????????

Since WHEN did Professor’s get you to make a fool of yourself for an outcome that was never going to get rid of the HICCUPS?!? Pouting, Holly stomped back across the classroom, although she was rather light on her feet and they didn’t make any extra sound. Which, for once, angered her all the more. She wanted to stomp and make a noise.

With a huff, and a sigh, the second year sat back down in her chair, pushing her curls away from her face as she pulled her wand from its holster and listened to the instructions.

Singultus fixus.

That was simple enough right? ”Singletus Fixus. Singeltus Fixis. Sing-gul-tess Fix-ess.” Um… No, nope.They didn’t sound right. Listening to some of the other students, she tried to copy them, repeating it over and over and over again until she found something that sounded more like the original charm that the Professor had used.

“SinGULtuss FIXuss” Yes… That sounded right. Or, at least she thought it did.
