While Nina was quite displeased when she learned which spell they would be working with today, she still tuned back in to learn the incantation. She pretended, but she wasn't an actual idiot. And as such, she began with practicing the incantation. Only the reckless (typically Gryffindors) jumped straight into a new spell without properly testing out the syllables. And because everyone else was busy practicing on their own, Nina didn't mind speaking.
"Non voco furtum," the words felt funny on her tongue, though most incantations typically did. "Non voco furtum," it was a clever incantation. Voco came from the same root as vocare, presumably... To summon. Furtum referred to theft, if she remembered correctly. Basic latin was incredibly useful for lessons. And there was really no question as to what the first word meant.
"Non voco furtum," again until the syllables no longer felt foreign to her tongue.
