Yeah he did. West perked up both at the mention and at the opportunity to learn something new. Scourgify wasn't a problem, he'd learned that ages ago -who hadn't?- it was the new one he was more interested in.

Poliotus. I polish...? West rubbed at his eye thanks to the dust (and imagine if he'd got some to the face. It was bad enough when he hadn't) and then looked at his desk. Right.

Scourgify first then.

He pointed his wand at the wooden surface. "Scourgify!" It cleaned like a charm.

... hah.

Funny West is funny.

But the desk did need a bit of a polish after all that. Y'know, if one felt like being fussy about such things. West practiced the wand movement a few times, tracing the s shape until it felt natural and not stilted. It started out more... zedish than essish, but soon enough he got it good and that meant incantation.

"Poliotus." He repeated, feeling it on his tongue. Not TOO much of a tongue twister, thankfully. "Poliotus."

Poooooooolioooooooooooooootus.

Okay. Put it together.

The S shape and the incantation.

He focused on his desk. "Poliotus!" S shape and.... hey wow, he could almost style his hair reflected in the resulting sheen of the wood. He reached out to touch it. Nice. Smooth.

Which made him wonder so he stuck his hand up, "Professor, could you use Glisseo to polish things too? I mean it smooths stuff and makes them slick and slippery..." Like stairs to girls dorms for instance.

Or so he'd heard.
