SPOILER!!: Rajesh

Luther relaxed and then sighed as the magical warmth left him slightly longing for it. "It was great but I don't know... I felt too happy, I don't know how to explain it. But it worked." said Luther.

Taking a deep breath, he continued "Ok here it goes." and thought to himself 'You can do it!' while mentally repeating 'Gaudeo! Gaudeo!'. Taking another deep breath, he said in an excited tone "Gaudeo!"

SPOILER!!: Professor Mancini

She had fully expected this to be a review for anyone over fifth year, but she was also under the impression that the more one practiced, the more comfortable one became. And more comfort = better wizards.

It was however, when her eyes fell to Luther and Rajesh pairing that she was curious. Charms was still relatively new to the first year, but she hoped that with Rajesh's guidance he would manage.

"Alright, we'll pause for a moment, now that you've hopefully had the time to either feel the effects yourself or witness them first-hand from a casting, the incantation, gaudeo comes from Latin as do many incantations. Does anyone happen to know the root of the word and what it means?" But that wasn't what she wanted to ask. "Let's talk negative connotations for a moment. We talked earlier about overdoing the charm. How might this be harmful? And are there ways that one might use this to their benefit in say a duel? Can a simple cheering charm be thought of as a dueling spell, where you don't intend for serious damage? Can you think of other uses for this spell that might not just be cheering your friends up?"

ooc: ugh... sorrry for the delay in posting :3 ... anyway, there's a lot of questions packed in here. Feel free to just answer one... but essentially talking about negative connotations and out-of-the-box USES for this charm!! Also if your character knows Latin and wants to answer about the root question. We'll be wrapping this lesson up by Sunday, so if you wish for catch-ups on the main activity or anything prior, you're welcome do that too <3

Luther listened to the Professor intently. He was not familiar with the incantation's origins, however, he thought he could guess. 'I should learn Latin sometimes, I guess.' he said mentally.

After raising his hand to be recognized, he spoke in an unsure tone "I don't know Latin, Professor but does it mean something like happy, happiness or be happy?" and continued in a more confident manner "Also, from what I felt, I guess, if you overpower it, your opponent can be distracted and maybe... also they can lose their ambition or will to duel properly as they are too happy."

It was unclear at first until Luther started to smile. And then smile brighter. And then filled with laughter. He had to fight the urge to ask him a ton of questions on how it felt when his companion actually spoke confirmed it was making him happy inside and not just looking like it outside. It was bothering him? Had it done it too strongly? “Oh, sure,” the sixth year said, casting a “Finite Incantium” to break the spell. Hopefully no harm was done with the over smiling. “You can try when you feel ready,” Raj added as he braced himself for the turn around.
