Jared resisted the urge to grin. "Horcruxes," he corrected. "But yes, you're right. Though it didn't work out, that is one of the most famous historical uses of Diffindo. Take two points for Ravenclaw."

"Harry Potter attempted to use 'diffindo' to help his friend Ron Weasley in the Department of Mysteries when some brains attacked him."

That must have been tough.

I don't think that the charm worked against the chains though."

"Proffessor, I believe that Harry Potter cast this in an attempt to sever the Tentacles of Thought that a brain had wrapped around Ron Weasley during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996. He failed, though." she ended up saying, unsure of its accuracy.

"The former professor of Care of Magical Creatures, Professor Saylen, used the spell to remove the forked tail from a cruppy last term. Owners of crups are required to use the spell, which is painless, so as to hide the presence of the creature from non-magical people." Barbaric really.

Then Ness thought of a not so excellent answer it was better than nothing though. She raised her hand and waited her turn. "Um... Proffessor Hermione Granger used the Diffindo Charm at Gringotts bank when she unchained the Dragon, so that her, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter could all escape from the bank." said Ness hoping what she said counted as an Example.

So that he could talk to him. He used this charm to split the seam on his bag. So then Cedric had to wait and collect his books and that's when Harry got the chance to talk to him." after saying that Lucy brought her hand down. She was a bit nervous this time.

"I believe Hermione Granger used the charm to get Salazar Slytherin's locket off of Harry Potter's chest. I'm pretty sure that this happened after they escaped Voldemort in Godric's Hollow."

"The Severing Charm was used by Phyllida Spore multiple times as a way to collect samples of plants an herbs. She listed it as one of the most helpful charms for any Herbologist, and also wrote that it is rather useless to use against devil's snare and snargaluffs, in contrast to popular belief."

"Take two points each," Jared said, as the class fell silent. "The most important thing we learn from these recorded instances is that Diffindo is a charm that can sever lace sleeves or split an entire lake into two - depending upon the caster's abilities. What sets it apart from most other charms is that the caster's will, and not concentration, is what is most essential to it." If a person didn't possess enough anger or hatred, he or she wouldn't be able to utilize the charm to hurt someone else.

Moving on, though. "The correct incantation for the standard Severing Charm is dih-FIN-doh. The wand movement is a downward slashing motion. Like this." Jared glanced down at the cardboard box on his desk, took out the first item that he saw - some sort of rubber duck - tossed it into the air, and brought his wand down in a brief, slashing movement. Diffindo. The rubber duck split into two pieces, which hovered in the air until he lowered his wand, and let them drop back into the box. "If there are no questions, I'd like all of you to come to up here, grab an item or two -" He motioned towards the box standing on his desk "- and give the charm a go. Sixth and seventh years, try casting the charm nonverbally after you've learnt to cast it verbally."

The keyword being after.

OOC: There are participation points for this part, and we'll move on to the class activity in *counts* thirty hours or so? Just so you guys know.
