"You might find that some spells will be easier to cast. Is there anything that helps with your stutter? Are there any spells you've been able to cast?"

Pause. "And who says you should only use spells? If you need to save your skin and can't cast spells, use muggle defence. Combat. Fly-kick them, karate-chop them...... whatever it takes to save yourself." Probably not a good lesson he should be teaching them? No. "Only if you absolutely need to. Otherwise, I think you'll need to work on some of these spells."

"Not really, profes-ss-ss-sor," the first year answered honestly. At least nothing mum and dad had tried yet had really done any good. There were SOME words in particular that he did not stutter over - like Scamander's name - but for the most part...no...not really. Nothing seemed to help much and the MORE he thought about it the worse it got, so he just decided not to worry about it! After all, if you worry...you suffer twice!

And he would tuck those suggestions away and save them for a rainy day. Or a flesh eating shrub. Whichever came first.

But wait...had the professor just given him permission to do all that in a duel? Interesting...

"Kind of a really REALLY s-s-scary weapon too...offens-s-sive magic ISH," he nodded upon raising his hand. Protective barrier talk aside and all. "Any living fing fat tries to cros-s-ss-s-ss the boundary goes-s-s POOF on the spot."

Was 'poof' the appropriate noise for something when it disintegrated?
