"Alrighty," he said, clapping his hands together once and rubbing them together. "Welcome to the first lesson of the best class in Hogwarts. Charms." Obviously. "If you didn't read, or if you forgot, or just didn't care enough to retain this information, my name is Professor Fuller, and I am your new Charms Professor." Also obvious.
Piers gave a look towards the Kettleburn girl. "The chicken dancing made my morning, by the way." He then looked out to the whole class. "I'll give five points to anyone who can top that entrance next lesson."
He clapped again. "Rightio, let's get started! Starting with a hypothetical situation." Piers paused for a moment and slowly started to walk down one of the isles between the desks. "You are paralyzed from the waist down. Your neck is broken and, therefore, unable to move. Also, your arm is broken. Luckily, your wand arm is fully functional and you just so happen to have your wand in hand." So basically, all you can use is your wand. That might have been easier to say, but he was trying to paint a picture here.
"Suddenly, you notice something hurtling towards your face!" In a split second, Pierson unholstered his wand and created a (very) small explosion of colorful lights which broke into tens and tens of tiny little balls of light that suddenly few into each of the student's faces and STOPPED. RIGHT in front of their noses. Literally a couple inches away.
GOOD MORNING.
Pierson paused and watched the students curiously. A few seconds later, he gave his wand a swish and the lights all herded together and disappeared out the open window. "What would you do? How would you stop it from breaking your face, whatever it was?"
Top the chicken dancing next lesson? West considered it. Maybe. Depended on his mood yeah?
West eyed the light in front of his face without flinching and listened to the question and considered Revertoscutum, which would transfigure any object to its original form, and Impiriano which was a solid shield rather than just a spell deflecting shield. Maybe Immobulus to stop the thing in its tracks. Or Relashio to grab it and spring it off in another direction. Or one of the exploding spells to break the thing up into pieces. Because well, we didn't know what it was right?
But finally he put his hand up.
"If its a solid thing, the cushioning charm could work, and would have the added benefit of, when the thing lands, making sure that the thing just stays there and ends up being a barrier to any other solid things what might get tossed at you. And it'd be the easiest one to cast because you'd probably be in a lot of pain and be less able to focus." And most big shields needed plenty of that? Yeah. West nodded once. That was his answer.
