Not usually one to be the first to answer, Alex hoped that she had gotten it right. Well, the term was almost over so it was now or never, right?

Anyway, someone answered! The kid wrote down the answer, getting ready for when other people talked. It was tradition for the five foot tall girl, to write down everything that was said and then cross out the wrong stuff. Scientific method, except not at all because that's not how the scientific method worked. Deductive reasoning? That sounded pretty good. Yeah, deductive reasoning was what she was doing.

But still, any answer would do, wouldn't it? The kid racked her brain for some kind of answer. Anything that made sense and wouldn't be TOO wisecracking. There needed to be a balance. That's what her brother told her.

Flipping her braid over her shoulder, she brought it back forward and played with it as she thought. New habit? Interesting development in the life of Caelen. Okay, focus. Focus. Focus. Okay, saying focus is less likely to make you focus and that was really unfair! But as the firstie scratched her scalp, she finally remembered something she read.

"I'm not sure which one is which, professor, but one of the things is a charm and the other one's a hex." Yeah! That was a long awaited conclusion. But the eleven year old finally got there. Or mostly. Somewhere around there. As long as she HAD an answer nothing could go wrong.

Sander waited patiently as Alex gave the answer before raising his hand to share his.

"I agree with Alex. Rictumsempra is charm which tickles and weakens the target. It is commonly used in duels and the spell's light when it is cast is silver in color. Titillando on the other hand is a hex with the similar effects but the light the wand emits when the spell is cast is purple in color."

She'd read somewhere that it actually mimicked the feeling of insects on one's body, and that the ensuing uncontrollable laughter was in fact a sign of panic, which pretty much summed up how she felt about the whole experience. However, she did have to admit, both spells made a pretty good diversionary tactic in duels or when trying to get someone out of the way.

"Rictusempra is a charm, not a hex, so it's generally not used offensively as much." And is used more often as a way to get back at siblings and annoying cousins. "Plus one has purple light, and the other silver." Adrienne couldn't actually remember which was which, but the colour couldn't make too much of a difference, right?

Okay, so maybe she wasn't that old, but she sure felt it. She settled into a comfortable position then looked forward. Ohh, a question. Sophie raised her hand, even as some of the others were already chiming in. "Rictusempra's used when you just want to tickle somebody but not necessarily hurt them. Maybe you just need to use it for a distraction...or for fun," she said with a grin. "Titillando's used to also tickle, but you use this one when you really intend to hurt somebody."

So it's not the fun kind of tickling, it's a kind of tickling that makes you unable to defend yourself," he explained. "And the other one, that's for fun. If you think forcing tickling on someone is FUN," he added. Sounded kind of twisted to him but whatever.

Oh right off the bat, they were doing so well. As usual. Proud professor was proud. Although it was kinda worrisome that they knew their textbooks so well already. They were getting enough fun and sunshine, right?

"Right." she nodded, not taking the time to loose her accent for the lesson. "One of the biggest differences vhich summarizes them both up pretty vell if you know the effects of Rictusempra, is one's a charm and the other a hex; the latter being Titillando. Although, keep in mind, some areas of the vorld also consider Titillando a curse, due to it's extreme nature a vitch or vizard can push it to."

"I agree that one's a charm and one's a hex, but I have a question... Do both of those go under the heading of 'spell?' Or is 'spell' something entirely different?"

Or at least, that was what Tobias had gathered from his reading. Worth a shot, right?

"Good question....and thank you, Mister Tempus." she smiled towards the Hufflepuff, whether he could see her or not. Beat her to it. "He's right, Miss McAlistor. A spell is a broad, general term, for vot ve know as charms, jinxes, hexes, and the like. They all fall under the category as 'spell'."

"Spell category, effects, coloring, and...I don't believe anyone's mentioned incantation or vand movement yet." Usually there was one or two people who always stated the obvious. "But you are all correct. Ve can accurately say that they are indeed two different spells."

"Both of these spells tickle and veaken the target, but naturally, Titillando is a bit stronger in it's effects. You'll be able to tell the difference first hand becaaaaaause.... ve vill be practicing them. Today. Now, actually. So......" She stopped twirling her wand, mentally counting just how many were present in class. "If you are unable to participate in this activity, you may sit on the stands. I'll haff another assignment for you."

"Everyone else, pair up. Preferably vith someone in or close to your year."

OOC: Go ahead and pair up! Or sit on the stands. Although, Professor Romanos will stick your character right back in the activity if she thinks your character is well enough to participate. Participation points will be at risk if they refuse. Dun dun duuuuuun! We'll continue the lesson in about 9 - 10 hours more or less, depending on who still needs to be paired up.
