"Five points each to Jill, Aph, Kay, Star, MadEye, and ronslilpyro. Those were really excellent suggestions. I see there's some confusion that I'd like to clear up. First, don't dismiss a spell as not useful based on the fact that it wouldn't stop Voldemortist. It WOULD stop most things or people who get in your way, or be effective in slowing them down so you could escape, get help, or perform another spell. Second, I don't know why you keep mentioning Voldemort, as he was defeated long ago. Our CURRENT foe is Voldemortist."


ooc: reminder to all you first years, the school story is set AFTER the HP books to avoid confusion. Therefore, no Voldemort. Talk about him in the past tense... he ain't our baddie. Voldemortist is. Ask some older students about all the trouble he cuased over the past few terms.
