Penny smiled, she knew this one, she put her hand in the air.."Glisseo, Sir"

Ariella raised her hand. "I'm pretty sure it's Glisseo," she said, trying to remember what it was. Yes, she was pretty sure that was the right spell.

"That would be the Glisseo Charm." Eino said after having raised his hand. He had even tried casting that charm on the stairs as practice since the stairs leading to the boys' dormitories weren't charmed.

'Glisseoooo!' Sang out Thea. Teheh. She was amaaazed that she knew any of the answers at all!

Isobel thought she knew that one. "Is it Glisseo, sir?" That sounded right, and she thought it was right, but she wasn't completely positive.

"Glisseo," said Samira with a faint smile as she thought of the effects of that charm.

"Glisseo." Louisa answered after raising her hand. It was relatively an easy last lesson. Charms was always easy to her but this particular lesson was first-year easy and she was a THIRD YEAR. and a RAVENCLAW. Hmph.

"Glisseo, professor," Kurumi said with her hand raised up in the air.

Huh?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa?!

What was this man's problem? Ha? What was it? Josh really wanted to know that. Heh. Apparently he did not know that Josh had no idea about houses until he, one day, suddenly happened to end up in this school. And other people forced the differences between houses in him. They made him seperate and classify people in his mind. It was not his fault. Heh! But Josh was not going to rise up and explain this to the man. Not at all.

And Ravenclaws were not classmates anyway. They were...something different. They needed supervision or something because they are the real hidden evil ones while everyone blamed Slytherins for it. Whatever...Josh was going to remain silent about that as well.

But...what? He wanted to see him in that Practice Hall after class? Heh. Meh. And what was he going to do? Force him to practice Diffindo? Pffffffft. Again refusing to talk, Josh just returned the deadpan look at the man then leaned back again for a comfortable position on his seat.

...

This was getting more and more boring. So just to entertain himself, he mimicked the last given answer by a girl's voice murmuring and not really paying attention to whose answer was that ''Glisseo, professor," with an exeggeatedly dramatic tone.

Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

"Glisseo," Jared agreed. "Part of the spellwork on the stairs leading to any of the girls' dormitories, at Hogwarts." Part - not all of - the spellwork, contrary to what most students seemed to think, for some reason he had yet to find.



"Fifth through seventh years. For three points, who can tell me both basic purposes that Luxra Magnifica serves?"

Woah, she dosed off. Totally not on purpose though. However, she came back down to earth right when the Professor was asking another question. For them? Eep! "It magnifies both light and shadows." she said, right after raising her hand. Wait...right? She was...semi-certain? Except the bloody baron kept popping up in her mind for some reason and well, he always made her second guess her thoughts.

Vashti had to take a few moments to remember what Luxra Magnifica was. She felt like she had so many different charms and spells buzzing around in her head after all the studying she'd done over the year that she couldn't remember the one she actually needed to know about to answer this question. Merlin, she needed to work on that.

But finally, something came to her. "Is it to enhance the effects of light and shadow?" she asked, raising her hand. Was that the purpose though? That was what the charm did... Were they the same thing? Aw, Merlin.

Obviously she still had some more studying to do.

Heh?

Whaaaaaaat? Now Josh had decided and he was certain. This man had problems. Serious problems. Very serious problems. So serious that it seemed to be a problem even if students were trying to entertain themselves during class.

''I think we both need it'' he said though with a little smirk.

Mwahahahaha...


Ooooh...

There came the question for him. It was for him, right? Yup, he was a sixth year when he had checked the last time which also reminded him the fact that how surprising it was that he actually had managed to make it to sixth year. Hehehehehehehe.....

He was not sure of what this Luxa Magnifica was though so he could only...make up something or...whatever...try his chance.

''It makes the light it a certain area got brighter so if the light gets brighter the stuff affected by light within the area gets bigger as well? Affected by light i mean shadows, reflective spots and...things like that?''

And of course, as usual...he had things to add...

''Why would someone need a spell like that though? It sounds pointless to me.''

Yeaaa...very useless.

"Right," Jared nodded. Were the other students taking the occasional note? Now seemed like a good time to be doing so, given that the question seemed to have confused a good number of them. "Luxra Magnifica can magnify both light and shadows."



"Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. For two points, which word is the incantation 'Glisseo' derived from, and what does this word mean?"

"Ravenclaw and Slytherin. For two points, which language is the incantation for the basic Severing Charm derived from, and what does this incantation translate to?"

"From Latin which means to split," answers Aiden quickly. That was an easy one for her.

Janice raised her hand and answered.
"It's from the french word Glisser, right? Meaning slip or slide..."

Kurumi's hand was back on in the air. "It comes from the word Glisser which means to to slip or slide."

Oh, well why don't you just look at that. For once, the Slytherins had been paired with the Ravenclaws instead of the Hufflepuffs. Hmm. With a pleased smirk on her face, Sierra raised her hand. "Diffindo comes from the Latin language, and it means to split, cleave, or open."

Samira raised her hand. "Diffindo is the basic severing charm, and it's Latin. It means "to split, cleave, or open."" Easy.

"Very good."

"The Cheering Charm was invented in the fourteenth century. For one point... who invented it?" No restrictions on this question, which meant anyone and everyone in the class could answer.

"It was invented by Felix Summerbee," Kurumi said as her hand shot up into the air faster than a broom during a Quidditch match.

"Felix Summerbee, isn't it?" Figures! His name itself means lucky.

Glancing over at Josh, the Slythering sighed quietly before slumping in her seat slightly. Might as well be comfortable.

With the next question though, the Slytherin girl waited a moment before raising her hand. "Felix Summerbee." she said, before dropping her arm back down to her side.

Samira leaned back in her seat, becoming slightly bored. "Felix Summerbee," she answered, observing the other people around her.

Ronnie thought. And thought. "What was it?" she thought to herself. It was on the tip of her tongue! She kept thinking then......Aha! She remembered! "Felix Summerbee." she answered.
