Garrick, who had been seated near Lotus the entire time had gotten a good chuckle out of watching the others blatantly break rules by using magic before instructed to do so. HEHEHE. It had made his day, actually. Bam!

Once Professor Knox had instructed them to use the two spells he nodded to himself and removed his wand from its holster. Scourgify first. Okay. Pointing his wand at the surface of the desk he said, "Scourgify!" Bam! Lovely. Now that annoying Prefect had seen that, right? She could SEE that he did indeed clean, yeah? Just not vacuuming. SMUG!

Now the other incantation he had never heard since his mum didn't do much cleaning. Heh. But it seemed simple enough. Moving his wand in the S motion as instructed he recited the incantation, "Poliotus." Ooooh! It was SO shiny! He could see his reflection in the newly polished desk. If he were vain like OTHERS he would have a go at fixing his hair or some other ridiculous thing. Heh.

Instead he just smiled real big at the Professor and set his wand on his desk. Yep.
