Anyway, Immobulus… could've been a worse lesson subject, could've been a better one. He already knew how to do that spell, and if he was going to be stuck in lessons, he would've preferred to learn something new. Still, he wasn't opposed to practicing it. At least it was a spell that could be useful, should he ever get the opportunity to take his revenge against Rosier.

With the spell demonstration and activity instructions fresh in mind, Heath looked around the room for a partner, but it looked like everyone else was taken. He was about to give up and try to practice by himself when he heard Noah, and wasting no time, he beelined to the older boy. "Yeah," he replied, nodding. "Do you want to go first?"

Noah heard someone respond to his inquiry about a partner and turned to find a fifth year approaching him. Heath, wasn’t it? Or was it Henry? No, no, that didn’t seem quite right. He paused for a moment, trying his best to remember this guy’s name before proceeding with a, “Hey! Sure!” Hopefully that would prove to be a smooth recovery, right? Oh how he longed for a hot cup of espresso or a cappuccino right now....... He didn’t need to be exhausted to know that he wasn’t the best with names. “Heath, right?” he asked, hoping to get the other guy’s name right. He was pretty sure it was that or Henry.... but then again what if his name didn’t begin with a H? ;_;

Fortunately, Immobulus was a spell he was quite familiar with. He had spent many hours trying to perfect the non-verbal incantation of it and well.... frankly struggled... He was alright at Charms. It wasn’t his best nor worst subject. And he had excelled at his OWL. Yet despite all of that- he still hadn’t figured out the non-verbal thing...... He’d got it three out of five times but had never nailed it. Hmph. Maybe he ought to practice more? “Ready?” he asked before assuming his preferred defensive dueling stance.

As he readied himself, he emptied his mind and focused on the incantation. He couldn’t very well practice it too much in the room because he didn’t have his wand but he had his mind. His mind would be his practice room- a safe sanctuary where he could visualise the spell and other spells. Taking a deep breath in, he focused on repeating the incantation and visualizing the wand movement in his mind.

“Immobulus,” he spoke quietly as he did the correct wand motion. Oh how he longed to use this spell on a couple other folks buuuuuut he was sure that it wouldn’t end well for him.

Hmph.

He didn't care that he hadn't correctly guessed the subject of the lesson - he had much more important things to worry about than guessing games! But seeing his girlfriend get it right made him feel a faint glimmer of something… pride? Happiness? He had no idea! Never mind, moving on. Right off the bat, he thought of two answers to the next question, neither of which were safe to say out loud. You could use Immobulus to stop an evil goon from imprisoning you for your blood status, he thought bitterly, or you could use it to stop another evil goon from hitting your girlfriend. Then he thought of another way Immobulus could be used to protect someone, and his hand went up. "If someone is about to walk into a dangerous situation -" Like a dragon's cave or a forest full of acromantulas, for example. "- you could use Immobulus to stop them."
