Newtington re-entered the class. "Excellent. Much better. Now wipe your face and be seated. And pay attention." He nodded to the boy, then turned to the board and wrote:
HEXES
"Who can name one commonly used hex and explain its effect?" he looked around the room, waiting for answers.
Anna couldn't help but break out into a smile when the professor complimented her use of the Shield Charm. "Thank you, sir," she replied, still focused on the charm she was casting. She knew that if she looked away or lost her focus on what she was doing, the charm would break, and she'd be pelted with acorns once again. Anna only broke her focus when the professor addressed the class as a whole and asked a question about hexes. Most of the hexes she could think of off the top of her head had already been brought up by her fellow classmates. She racked her brain, trying to come up with another hex that had yet to be discussed. Raising her hand, Anna said, "There's the Leg-Locker Curse, or Locomotor Mortis. It causes the victim's legs to lock together, making him or her unable to walk."
