This Slytherin was more into practical aspects of lessons, especially as the lesson was being held outside. In any case, Ary was already intrigued to learn a few tidbits about the activity. Too bad there would be more waiting time to find out the full details.

As for the questions, Ary mulled them over silently. They were seemingly unrelated; at least he couldn’t figure out any way just yet a manner in which they were linked. He decided to focus on the second one so a hand was raised. “I did lose something important while at home but since I couldn’t use magic… well, I spent a great deal of the morning retracing my steps with the hope of finding it. The entire process was a painstaking one since it involved wasting so much time.” Sure, he could have asked for help but he wasn’t the type to bother anyone, especially not his busy family members who were either involved in their own activities or the Reserve.

"Without magic, it is challenging to find something that's gone missing." Feirgrund nodded. Sometimes they end up turning up when you least expect it.

Nadia returned her full attention to Professor Feirgrund at the questions raised to the class, the sixth year trying to think of her example even as her brother spoke up with one of his own.

“At home, feeling like I’m being watched is a common occurrence.” And no, not feeling like one of the adults was keeping an eye out. “Sometimes its real, like you’ve caught the attention of one of the creatures in their enclosures…sometimes I’m imagining it like its reminding me to pay attention to my surroundings.” Though she would swear that she knew the cliffs like the back of her hand since she was 7.

It was interesting experience as Feirgrund listened. "Often, your body senses something before your eyes can notice it." Sometimes it's overly cautious, but never wrong to completely ignore. "There's a balance on when to be aware and making sure it doesn't impact your own behavior."

He blamed those.. what was that movie he had watched with his great uncle Nathan again?--GREMLINS. Yes. Those creepy little blighters from that entertaining movie. Accio was always handy too in school.

He didn't feel like he wanted to voice this in class—it happened too often to be a fun little anecdote for him. The feeling of being watched, too, was familiar to the boy. Ezra had turned out a little.. different from many of his family members. He was the first Ravenclaw on his dad's side for a start, and he didn't show any interest in the close families career paths – a business he was expected to take over at some point in the future. As a result, he often felt like he was being watched at home – considered and scrutinised. He wrinkled his nose thinking about it. But again, not something to voice in class. Or anywhere to be frank.

He pondered over the subject while listening to his classmates. “The paintings in this place are always watching us.” He offered. Not a paranoid feeling like he was sure the Professor meant, but a fact. “I guess just turn them around.” He smiled slightly, amused by the idea of this and the protests from beyond the frames that would ensue.

A tiny hit of a smirk may have emerged on Feirgrund's face. "They do like to observe their outside surroundings." It was merely the turn them over as a solution that hit the amusement scale. "That is one way to deal with it." Nodding. He personally preferred using the blackout charm, but that would be worth another lesson.

But if you're following them, no need to concered about who's watching. Greer, didn't break rules, so it was of no bother to her.

"This is true, Miss Murray. Though the amount of time a person is being watched is the important factor," Adding, "It is human nature to glance at anyone nearby, but mostly out of curiosity and safety." Though he wished she'd elaborate more on how they handled it outside of following them. The answer was decent on its own.

Until this summer, that is.

Anna had never really been bothered by the thought of being watched, or perhaps it was less that she had never considered it, but when it came to losing things and looking for them...well...there was more of a mantra of acceptance she had convinced herself to be true or else crumble. Where it was BIG things like memories of her faceless father who had become more concept than human over the years or textbooks, Anna had done what she could to adopt a what will be will be persona about it all. "Well...things we lose have a way of coming back eventually ... just maybe not always in the way we expect...and until then it is an opportunity for some creative improvisation."

"This is true, Miss Walles." Nodding, "Muggles in particular have this thought with crafty items such as scissors or markers being lost and turning up when you no longer need them."

After enough responses, it was time to move on. Feirgrund gave the board a few taps, to reveal the information.

Wand Incantation/Movement: Obiectum Revelio - Shape of a triangle

"Now you've already had a lesson on the Human-Presence Charm. Today we'll be working on a variation of the charm. This charm in particular will reveal objects, often as a great aspect for revealing something you had lost." For those curious on the intention of the charm. "While there are many charms that reveal hidden lost objects, this one in particular has a focus with familiar items. Some that you'll be searching for." Almost like a treasure hunt, but without a box to unlock. "In this box are pouches that will each have photographs of items lost within this area. Without the image in your mind, the charm won't be able to spot the item, preventing thieves from taking advantage of the situation."

Now then, "But first, we must practice the incantation, Obiectum Revelio. Pronounced as Oh-Bee-Ek-Tum. Reh-VEH-lee-oh." Waiting until the class repeated the pronunciation. "Excellent, continue pronouncing it. NEWT students, you will practice it both audibly and wordlessly."

As for the wand work, "For the wand movement, it's fairly simple. You will be tracing the shape of a triangle △. While you can trace the shape from either direction, starting from the top is the simplest. You will know the casting is correct when a glowing white trail appears and follow your wand movement as you trace it to completion. If successful, the white triangle shape will stay for a few seconds before fading. If unsuccessful, it'll fade before the shape is complete." As Feirgrund explained he demonstrated the instructions. "For now, try to focus on at least having a while trail appear before we get to finding the objects." As there would be more instructions on that.

OOC: Great responses everyone! Now you'll be practicing the wand movement and the Box-blasting charm. The main activity will continue with further instructions 48 hours from now. If you have any questions feel to ask.
