Ary’s mind suddenly fixated on his fleeing from one of the very Dark Creatures they learned about in DADA. He tried to picture what Conjuration Spell would come in handy during such a horrific time. He doubted clothing would be of much help so now Ary was having doubts about his earlier suspicions about the lesson’s topic.

“The Rope Conjuring Spell, Professor,’’ he said, lowering his hand after being called upon. “That would be a good way to potentially halt the person or creature in their tracks.”

Norman couldn’t wait to hear what the students came up with to this question. Atreyu-Rehman’s hand was the first one he saw in the air. The boy’s answer got a slight smile. Already they were off to a great start! “Yes, the Rope Conjuring spell is an excellent example,” he replied. “Thank you, Mr. Atreyu-Rehman.”

She was about to choose the right side of the room, but doubled back to plop down next to Ary. He seemed to have all the good luck and maybe she could learn a thing or two from him?

She had so many questions about this hypothetical scenario. Like .... why was she running? If she stopped running, would she get eaten? Burned? Was the dangerous person or creature armed and with what sort of weapons? Just their own physical attributes or a wand ? But apparently none of that mattered because what she needed to do was find a way to deter them. Ropes, as Ary suggested could work ...

"Is there something to maybe conjure giant boulders or trees?" Having them have to dart around the obstacles would surely slow them down ....

Norman considered Montmorency’s answer for a moment. “It’s more likely that you’d turn something into a tree or boulder than conjure one,” he replied with an approving smile, “but I like where you’re going with that idea, Miss Montmorency. Creating a barrier is an effective tactic.”

The second year Slytherin (Ary) had a good idea but from his experience, that would have been easily defensible. Conjuring boulders and trees, again, an okay idea but a little less predictable. Boulders and trees can roll and fall in any direction, or at least, that was his opinion.

Raising his hand, he offered an answer of sorts.

“I think I’d go with Incendio or Aguamenti, just because you can control them a little better. I know you mentioned running but going on the offence and taking them by surprise isn’t a bad option to have.” That being said, if it was a famous dark witch or wizard, he wasn’t against running.

Ridley-Rush’s answer went in a completely different, though no less reasonable direction. “Sound reasoning, Mr. Ridley-Rush,” Norman replied with an approving nod. “Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.”

Regardless of what the lesson was on, he'd be needing it if he wanted to at least make some kind of attempt at knowing what was taking place. Also, the very resource was there for that reason if and when they needed it. Somewhat mindlessly while getting it out but still with an air that he was paying attention, would the young O'Brien respond "That's good to hear, as is mine. Can't complain besides things that we can't control like the weather." And it wouldn't be too long after saying this, that the door would be closed, and Professor Carton would proceed to start things off.

Attention being fully cast up to the front of the room, Archie would sit there and listen while the scenario in question would be given. The question that followed thereafter allowed some breathing room in their responses. While conjuration may have been a branch of Transfiguration specifically, it also further delved and twisted into other subjects. This would be the thing that the Slytherin would primarily focus on because he wouldn't even need to look in the book for the initial question. Raising his dominant hand, he'd present his answer "The Bird-Conjuration Charm-" And there was more to be said as to why this could theoretically work to subdue an opponent. So, he'd go on to do just the very thing after a very small second of breathing room. "-if used in tandem with Oppugno, the conjured flock would attack the opponent, possibly subduing them." It was...a stretch to say the least, as there still was the possibility that it wouldn't work. However, a group of birds flying and swarming around a person or creature would make things more difficult for them to do anything.

O’Brien’s answer got a small approving smile, as it reminded Norman of a time during his first year teaching at Hogwarts when he’d used that exact plan of attack against the Neo Alliance. “Excellent strategy, Mr. O’Brien,” he replied. “And even if the birds aren’t enough to injure your opponent, they can distract them long enough for you to take them by surprise with a stronger attack.”

Running away from stuff. He was fairly good at that, though he'd never tried using transfiguration to help. "I, um. I would conjure something heavy, like a rock or a weight, and throw it at them as I was running away. Maybe they'd get hurt or at least trip." The type of object was irrelevant- it didn't need to be specific to be thrown at somebody.

Brandon was fairly certain that his answer was not the lesson plan, but he thought the idea was a good one and it was the only thing that came to mind, so... yeah. Throwing heavy stuff at an opponent was guaranteed to make them pause, right?

Oh good, Fox was awake, and not a moment too soon! Norman considered the boy’s answer, nodding in approval. “Good idea, Mr. Fox,” he replied. “You could also levitate objects that are too heavy to throw.”

Hope searched her mind, trying to think of the word; it was a funny-sounding one...oh, yes! "Locomotor Wibbly! They can't chase you if their legs are stuck together, or weakened."

Archard’s answer was not a conjuration spell, nor was it a transfiguration spell at all. Nonetheless, it was a valid way to handle the hypothetical scenario. Norman nodded. “Yes, that would certainly do the job. Thank you, MIss Archard!”

Norman paused, searching the room for any more hands in the air. When he saw none, he took that as his cue to move on. “Wonderful answers, everyone,” he said. “All of you came up with sound strategies to foil an opponent, but Mr. Atreyu-Rehman came the closest to guessing today’s spell.” The fact that no one had guessed that exact spell somewhat surprised him. “It is a form of rope conjuring, but not just any rope. Today we’ll be practicing the Fire Rope spell.”

He waited a moment to allow time for that information to sink in before continuing, “This spell is useful because it not only binds an opponent like the rope conjuring spell. It can also burn its target, although it won’t do so unless the caster wills it. Not to worry, we won’t be burning anything now!” Not yet, anyway.

Norman drew his wand to begin the spell demonstration. “To cast, move your wand in a whip-like motion in the direction you want the flames to go, and say the incantation, Ig-NEE-see-o FOO-nem.” He brandished his wand as if cracking a whip, drawing an imaginary straight line down the center of the classroom, far away from either of the benches. “Ignisio Funem!” he cast, A flame-like rope shot from the tip of his wand, following the line down the center of the classroom until he ended the spell.

With a wave of Norman’s wand, the spell information appeared on the board. “Take a few minutes to practice the incantation and wand movement separately,” he instructed. “If you’re feeling confident, you may try casting the spell, but don’t attempt to make your ropes burn anything.” They’d be coming back to that later on. “You have ten minutes, starting now!”

OOC: Sorry for the delay,,, long day yesterday! The mini activity starts here. For this, your student needs to practice the incantation and wand movement for Ignisio Funem. Your student may try casting, but casting attempts should NOT burn anyone/anything. Norman and I will check in periodically. We’ll move on in 48-60 HOURS.
