Point each.

"There are far more effective spells and methods to ensure muggles don't stumble on that," Jared smiled.

Still. Two points for Ravenclaw.

Perfect. "That's it, exactly," Jared said. "Take two points each. There are things that muggles label as 'paranormal' or the actions of spirits, that are actually us. It could be us under Disillusionment Charms or Invisibility Cloaks, us having to perform magic in front of a muggle for some reason, us being accidentally seen practising magic or - regrettably, even though most witches and wizards have more sense than to do this - us attempting to scare muggles."

"But it isn't just muggles. Like Destiny just said, things aren't always what they seem, and it's important that we remember that, too." He stuck another marshmallow on a stick. "We'll come back to this topic in a moment as it's central to today's class but, before that, there's a charm all of you need to learn. It's a magnification charm, and it magnifies the effect of both light and shadow. Like this." He cast the charm at the fire, and the light seemed to spread out in all directions, glowing brighter, its range expanding. Returning the fire to its normal state, Jared cast it on a shadow that lurked between the trees. The shadow seemed to grow, dimming the light of the fire.

"The incantation is luxra magnifica. Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka," he repeated, more slowly. "The wand movement is a circle and an X. So." Using his wand, Jared traced a circle in the air, then brought it down twice to make a quick X in the air. "Give it a try." Little lanterns, all lit, appeared in front of each student so that they could practice the charm. "You'll need the magnified light, when we go into the Forest."

OOC: The lanterns are charmed. They cannot burn anyone/ anything. Just saying.

Emily grinned broadly. "Into... the forest.... Brilliant!" she said looking over at the tall trees that lined the forboding forest edge, jagged branches stretching out like old spindly arms. She loved going into the forest and she didn't get the opportunity very often.

Turning her attention to the lantern in front of her Emily was determined to get the charm right.
She practiced the wand movement first, tracing the circular motin followed by cross in the air.

*circle, cross* *circle, cross* *circle, cross* *circle, cross*

Next Emily practiced the incantation.
"Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka.......... Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka... Luxra Magnifica!"

"Right here goes nothing", she whispered to herself.
Gripping her wand, Emily performed the spell, aiming at the light emitting from the lantern.
"Luxra Magnifica!" .................................................. ..
............................................. nothing...
"Hhhmmm"
Trying again, Emily concentrated on the light, being very careful with her wand movement.
"Luxra Magnifica!"................. nothing. Ugh!

"Luxra Magnifica!" she said once more.
This time the light from the lantern grew bigger enxtending outward and spreading a warm glow on her.
She ginned, having succeeded.
