Norman roamed the classroom as the students set to work, monitoring their progress. He liked what he saw so far. Gellar was off to a great start. ”Excellent, Miss Gellar. Nice, strong wand movements,” he said. Elsewhere, he noticed Atreyu-Rehman likewise making progress with the incantation and wand movement. ”You too, Mr. Atreyu-Rehman. I like your pronunciation.”

Ridley-Rush's response got an approving nod. While DADA wasn't Norman's area, he did know a little something about the Auror program, enough to see that the boy had the stuff for it. Norman smiled at the successful spell cast. ”Well done, Mr. Ridley-Rush!” he said. Raising his voice slightly so the whole class could hear, he added, ”When you're ready to end your spell, use Finite.”

Hearing Fox's question, Norman reversed course. ”That's a great question, he replied thoughtfully. There was only one situation in which he would use this spell to actually burn someone. ”You'll have to decide for yourself when and if it's ethical to use this spell, but I, personally, would only use it when hurting an opponent is the only way to stop them from hurting others. Say you were facing a dangerous dark wizard, for example. They won't hesitate to harm you and others if they can break free or fight back, and when one is that determined to accomplish a goal, they're not easily deterred by minor pain.”

Not that he'd have any personal experience on the subject, none at all! Did his expression darken slightly? Absolutely not! Nothing to see here, kids! ”The good news is you're extremely unlikely to be in that situation unless you go into the Auror field,” he said with a slight smile, a smile that grew as he saw Fox's successful spell. ”Excellent work, Mr. Fox!”

OOC: You still have 16-20 HOURS for the mini activity.
