Field trip? Alrighty then. Ella picked up her wand and stood, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. Meep! They were going somewhere the spell worked. She may or may not have been bouncing. Freaked out, sure, but still bouncing.

And out she went, following the Not-really-a-professor-dude.

Nodding. Good she was glad Binns didn't die in here - he probably kicked the bucket in his office which would mean that Mr. Vinteren's office would have a spirit-thingy in it...and maybe, she'd pester him about possibly doing her homework in there if they had to communicate with the spirit in the room. That would be interesting wouldn't it. Talk to the ghost of a boring Professor?

Nah, she'd rather wade through the ghost-tears and talk to Myrtle. Getting up she followed Mr. Vinteren and the rest of the class to the first floor.

Oh, hmm, they were going to a death scene? Alice perked up immediately, pocketing her wand and hopping up. Who had died where they were going? She started going through the list of people and settings where some had died in the school that they'd just made, trying to guess where the professor was taking them. Astronomy tower, maybe? Or the greenhouses?

She'd see.

They were going somewhere where people had died? Okay. That was sort of cool. Jory grabbed his wand and followed Professor Vinteren and the other students.

So far, this was an interesting lesson and it seemed it was going to get a whole lot more interesting.

Marigold gripped her wand a little harder by instinct. Heading somewhere that someone had died? She shuddered. At least she was learning something.

Awwwww, no spell of that kind. She'd have to make one then! Sure she didn't know how she'd go about doing that but it had to be possible because other spells were invented in the first place. Maybe once she'd completed her goal of learning every hex, jinx and curse out there she'd put some time into that. For now FIELD TRIIIIPPPPP!!!!

Lex hopped out of her seat and bounced out of the room behind the Professor. Field trips were lovely and they would get to see the spell in action!!!! WOOOT!!!!

Hop. Bounce. Hop. Hop. Bounce.

Well it seemed they were going to see a dead body using this spell. AWESOME.

Nigel quickly gathered his things and left with a thought.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

Dylan eyed the man, rubbing at his face and whatnot. He KNEW that spell, alright. It was the one that had almost given him away weeks ago...during his little stalking adventure.

Well, there was no need to comment. Nope...

Dylan KNEW it...and that was all...


...This one, however...the Slytherin did NOT know.....But how helpful that would've been a few terms ago with all that Isfret stuff going on...Perhaps those Professors wouldn't have lost their lives. Shacklebolt wouldn't have almost gotten eaten...Well, that was okay, actually.

Snort.

Where they going to get a chance to try these spells? Creepy Bond Guy was slowly earning some coolness brownie points here...


...........They were?!

Dylan organized his stuff back into his bag...just because he didn't feel comfortable leaving it out in the open when they weren't here. Then he checked to make sure his wand was still tucked away in his uniform sleeve.

All was in order.

Without a sound, the Captain stood and followed his peers out the door.

It was impossible not to find this interesting, at least for West. He absorbed all the answers Vinteren gave. And the fact that he did answer all his questions made a big difference too, since not all the professors were as patient.

He was definitely keen to practice it somewhere that he could actually see it in action, so West followed eagerly. This was gonna be good.f

Those were all really good questions about the spell, so Eliza listened intently and took notes.

SPOILER!!: Notes

Spiritum Revelio
* Reveals where spirits left the body, with a green outline of the body
* If you focus on a specific person, it will reveal only their place of death
* No time limit, always shows up no matter how long ago it happened
* You can conceal the effects of the spell, but cannot conceal a death from the spell

Wand movement: Counter-clockwise circle, then point through the middle. Works for the whole room, no need to recast in different spots.

She left her notebook open to that page, sat down her quill and followed the class, wand in hand.

This was a crazy morbid class, but it was interesting and factual and Mo approved heartily. Imagine... he'd already somehow managed to pick up the differences between first and secondary sources, and they hadn't even gone on their fieldtrip yet. Did it make him a sociopath that he was packing up his bag in a hurry and scuttling for the door?

Maybe so, but he wasn't the only sociopath today.

As Kace was finishing his notes and adding Spiritum Revelio to the list, he noticed the professor standing up. He put down his quill and gave him a quizzical look. He noticed the Professor going to the door and then he said we would be going to a different room?

AWESOME. They were going on a mini filed trip. He left his seat and followed the class with his wand in his hand. He was excited to see where they were going.

Note taking was going on. Not that it hadn't been all along. Just that it was particularly frenzied now. And what was that? They were going somewhere where they could see if the spell had really worked for them or if they needed to practice more? Okay. Sky got up and followed the class to wherever they were going.

His question was good? GOOD? ... BLINK. That was a surprise.

Alec grinned in response and nodded along to what the Professor Man was saying. Practice is important... yeah. As was the case for a lot of things, right? Like Quidditch. "Thanks Professor!" Or was it still Sir or Mr? ... He... really needed to find out the answer to that question soon. Like really soon.

... Oh? They were going on a fieldtrip? To somewhere where it definitely works? ... That sounded both scary and interesting at the same time. You know, if such a thing was possible. Clutching onto his wand tightly, Alec followed the rest of the class...

Oh, so now they were going somewhere? Tag picked up his stuff and made sure he had everything with him before heading out the door and following the numerous heads/classmates in front of him.

Minerva looked at him like he was crazy.. She was really liking this guy, but he was joking, he had to be joking. There were kids in this class.. little young firsties that should not see the image of a body that they would know was dead.

Oh and people were leaving so she was going to have to see this image. Okay maybe it wasn't just the fact that the little kids were there. Min did not want to see this either, but giving a sigh she knew she had to. Standing she gripped her wand and headed to the room with the rest of the class.

Hmm, so no one did die in this room.. That's good. But now they were going elsewhere.. to find the dead. Pretty morbid, yes it was. Wade pocketed his wand before getting up to follow the rest of the class out.

Oh. Answers and facts were duly noted. Despite that the heaviness of the subject involved, Beezus was developing a very great interest in today's lesson and the Professor. They didn't often learn a new spell in a History of Magic class and put it into practice. Usually, they did their own research so this was all new to take in.

When the man said they will be practicing more of the spell, she quickly gathered her things, fell in line with her peers out of the classroom.

Let's see what else he had in store for them.

Oh this was...er...interesting? Somewhat. Penelope was a bit uncomfortable with this whole death topic, though a little less than she used to be. Now she was just...unsure. Since there was a whole spell devoted to see where someone had died in an area. Pretty morbid, y'know. But it could be worse, so she wouldn't complain.

And now they were heading out of the classroom to some other place, so she grabbed her wand and followed the professor and the rest of the class out.

Ascanius was not one for caring or paying attention when this guy was involved so APPARENTLY they had been practicing a spell or something and he could tell you the words and how they did it, but don't ask him to tell you what it meant. 'Cause he did not care nor did he want to care. This class was boring. This guy was boring. In FACT, every male Professor at his school was a snooze fest. Pfft.

But then people were moving and they were going places and he had to follow. Right, time to leave. Pfft. If he didn't want to sit HERE and listen to this guy drone on and on what made him think he wanted to listen to him drone ON and ON through some merry adventure? He didn't. Deadpan.

Regardless... he followed.

Feeling misunderstood Sarah decided to keep quiet. She listened to the rest of what he was saying.

THEY WERE GOING ON A FIELD TRIP! This was like awesome. Although Sarah was a girl, as she had grown up with a house of brothers she had sort of toughened up. In fact this lesson was so interesting, and being a gory was more curious.

She held her wnad in her hand and followed the others out of class

Hmmmmm interesting spell. Theo had kept quiet for a while, because he'd never heard of it so he didn't have much to comment. He did spring into life when they were going somewhere. OOOH field trip!

He grabbed his wand and followed the professor.

This entire class had left Ethan with an unsettling feeling. It was one thing to talk about those who had come before and even when, where, or how they died.. but to not only focus an entire class on it and now use spells to see the outline of dead bodies.. Ethan felt this was becoming borderline gruesome.

Though it might be interesting to see how the spell worked, the boy wasn't entirely sure he wanted to. Weren't some things better off left alone? Still.. he was a part of this class so he felt he had to go along with it. His wand secure in its holster, Ethan got up and followed the rest of the class out the door.

There was no brightening up this class today at all. Everything about it was dull, dull, dead, dreary, depressing, and dull. Not even the Spell practicing was fun one bit. Locate the Where Dead Bodies were? No thank you. Oakey was not ever going to use this spell in the line of work he USED to want to follow.

Then they were moving on to another location. If Oakey was correct with his assumption here, it wasn't going to get any better. So he grabbed his things and followed everyone out of the class.

Oh, they were moving? Of course, because they weren't going to see anything here, clearly. And she'll follow, since she wanted to make sure this was a real spell and not something Vinteren was teaching them to make them think he was cool or something.

He still wouldn't be.

Very quickly, Lottie took her things and followed Oakey out the door. He was rather unlucky, so whatever needed to happen will happen to him instead of her. It was only fair to use the Head Boy as a shield, right? Exactly.

Off to wherever we're going.
