Morbid, very morbid, but also deadly pun intended useful.
"Vhe spell is 'spiritum revelio' - don't try it now, not yet - and it is closely related to the charm 'homenum revelio.' Can anyvone tell me vhat homenum revelio does, or vhen you use it?"
Dylan eyed the man, rubbing at his face and whatnot. He KNEW that spell, alright. It was the one that had almost given him away weeks ago...during his little stalking adventure.
Well, there was no need to comment. Nope...
Dylan KNEW it...and that was all...

Especially considering they were using the sister spell.
"Like homenum revelio, spiritum revelio only reveals to vhe caster the location of vhere someone died. Vhe incantation itself comes from vhe Latin vord for spirit, as though it is showing you vhere vhe spirit separated from vhe body." If they believed in that sort of thing.
"Vhe incantation is a simple 'Spiritum Revelio' as you draw a counter-clockwise circle in vhe air and vhen point your wand through vhe circle. If it vorks, you vill see an outline of a body - vhe body of vhe dead - in green."
He demonstrated the wandwork for them.
"Now you try." Nothing should happen for them, though, as no one had died in
this room.
Yet. He'd already checked.
...This one, however...the Slytherin did NOT know.....But how helpful that would've been a few terms ago with all that Isfret stuff going on...Perhaps those Professors wouldn't have lost their lives. Shacklebolt wouldn't have almost gotten eaten...Well, that was okay, actually.
Snort.
Where they going to get a chance to try these spells? Creepy Bond Guy was slowly earning some coolness brownie points here...

...........They were?!
Dylan organized his stuff back into his bag...just because he didn't feel comfortable leaving it out in the open when they weren't here. Then he checked to make sure his wand was still tucked away in his uniform sleeve.
All was in order.
Without a sound, the Captain stood and followed his peers out the door.
