The thing about having a class in the Forbidden Forest? One could hear pretty much everything being said.

"It seems things aren't always what they sound," Jared grinned.

"The Comet 360?" Jared repeated. "Not to the best of my knowledge." Broomstick modification had been a trade for ages, but he had no knowledge of Disillusionment Charms being built into a regular broom. Of course, the Flying Instructor should know that kind of thing better than he did.

Or if there is, nobody can tell." But yeah, the professor might have a better answer that would enlighten them all.

"The Disillusionment Charm causes colour blending," Jared agreed. "But that's not the same as the Bedazzling Hex." He paused as Kurumi asked the difference and the Hufflepuff presented his own thoughts, before proceeding to explain.

"The differences in incantations and wand movements aside, the first real difference is in the nature of the spells: the standard Disillusionment Charm, being a charm, involves no discomfort if cast correctly; but the Bedazzling Hex, being a hex, does involve minor discomfort. The Disillusionment Charm is used to blend the target into the background; the Bedazzling Hex creates an optical illusion, disturbing the vision of those that see the target so that the target can escape notice."

That was two points for Hufflepuff.

It is also used to creat an illusion, not to remove one."
"Not known as the Invisibility Cloak," Jared corrected. "The production of Invisibility Cloaks involves a wide range of magic. Disillusionment charms are a part of this magic, but not all of it."

"Take two points for Slytherin."

Jared's gaze flickered towards the Gryffindor, making sure she was okay. Maybe he ought to have made the students come to a stop six or so feet from the stream, and not four.

Jared had not expected someone to bring the demiguise up. He smiled, the usual faint-but-there smile. "The one major difference between an Invisibility Cloak containing a demiguise's hair and the Disillusionment Charm is the effect," he said. "Invisibility cloaks make one disappear from another's sight. The Disillusionment Charm, on the other hand, does not make one "disappear" - it makes one blend in. Take two points for Slytherin."

Skilled charmsman? "Finite does the trick."

"Never try to nullify magic if you don't know its exact nature," Jared said. "Unless you absolutely have to." If, say, your life depended upon it.

She paused to peek a her head around the opposite side and look at the lake.

Jared nodded. "Take two points each. The Disillusionment Charm is a spell that turns one into a live 'chameleon' - the target takes on the appearance of its surroundings, and so appears invisible. This means it cannot be seen, but this definitely doesn't mean that it cannot be heard and felt, and forgetting that has caused some very good witches and wizards, a huge amount of trouble." Point to remember.

"Disillusionment magic has been around for centuries. The earliest Disillusionment charms were hard to cast, short-lived and weak. There are several kinds of approved Disillusionment charms regularly used today, but the standard Disillusionment Charm is Disillusiona. There's Disillusionment charm-work here -" He looked around the place - "But of what nature, one cannot be sure. It must be remembered that there are creatures and beings other than humans that have magic." House-elves being a common example. "It's unlikely that we'll ever know all of these creatures or all the kinds of magic that exist in the wizarding world, just as it's unlikely that we'll ever know the exact reason someone -" Or something - "Decided to make use of such strong Disillusionment Magic here. In -" He broke off, as the Baron returned.
