"Vanished objects go into nonbeing. Everywhere. Think of it like this: all the little particles of a vanished object disperse and intermingle with the particles of everything else in the universe. And then when that vanished object is reconjured, all the little particles join back together and voila! Your object isn't vanished anymore." Lars smiled at the girl. "Does that make sense?"

"Vanishing something does not make it invisible. It makes it nonexistant, basically. When I vanished this birdcage, it was everywhere. I was not just holding an invisible bird cage. I was holding a bird, because the bird cage was gone." That made sense, didn't it? Lars thought so, anyway. "To reiterate: vanishing does not make something invisible."

Lars scratched his chin as he pondered the boy's question. "Well, we are using magic, after all, so some of it would be out of the window, some would be in here... time doesn't really affect where the vanished object goes." No, that did not make sense at all. Lars wrinkled his nose, trying to remember how he had explained the concept of vanishing to his older sisters, long ago. "What I mean to say is, it wouldn't really blow out the window. It might be out the window, but... wind would not make it go there. Do you understand?"

"The cage doesn't exist, but its little particles do... they just go into everything else so when you make it come back, you're telling the little particles to become a cage again. Got it?"

Forgetting about the whole canary thing, the Head Boy took a HUUUUGE bite and swiftly transformed into a giant canary. EEEEEK! Just moments later though, he was Clifford Carden again. "Woooooooow," he murmured, eyeing the pastry before looking back at the Professor. "And uh - where can I get me some more of these pastries?"

Make people disappear. Make people disappear. You could make anything disappear, but Lars did not want to say so. He feared that someone would ask for a demonstration. "Technically you can, but why would you do that, Mister Carden?" Professor Svensson raised a hand to cover his mouth as he grinned at Clifford the Canary. With a delighted wink for Clifford the Boy, he told him, "Canary creams. By Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes."

Ryder raised his hand, "Ryder Montgomery, sir. But if things that vanished were in a non-being, wouldn't that mean that technically they couldn't go anywhere?" He wasn't quite sure how it worked, but that seemed to make sense to him.

"That's correct, Mister Montgomery," Lars said. Thank goodness for an easy question to answer. "They go everywhere, so they can't move anywhere because they're already there."

Most things in muggle science didn't apply to wizarding kind, but that rule was one that he'd never actually heard talked about...

Lars Svensson turned to what he hoped was the last question-asker. Oh, lovely. A complicated question. Best to answer it in parts, Lars decided. "No, there is no shop or house that is missing a birdcage right now. This is the same birdcage that my dear bird Yellow has always lived in. Well, always since I've owned him." Lars waved a hand as if to dismiss the importance of how long Yellow had lived in the bird cage. The important part was that it was the same birdcage as before. "We don't really create or destroy matter. It's more of the idea that, when we vanish something, we scatter all the atoms and molecules and particles that comprise it. And, contrarywise, when we conjure something, we gather all the particles we need from around us, and they become whatever it is we've conjured."

Right. Enough with the philosophical mumblejumble. "If there are no more questions, I think we're ready to try out this spell for ourselves. Could Miss Griffin, the boy who asked about the creation and destruction of matter whose name I do not know, aaaand.... Miss Corbette please come help me pass some of this out?" Professor Svensson motioned to the box and peered inside it to make sure that the miscellaneous objects were still in there.
