There seemed to have been a rash of skinned knees amongst the Slytherins, both of those snakes who answered, as well as the girl mentioned by Mr. Atreyu-Rehman had given the experience as their example. But then that was one of the more common injuries with kids growing up, broken bones being the other, especially when one was the curious, rambunctious type. With a touch of the whimsy with the playful bandages no doubt as a way to sooth a “Aye…” she remarked in acceptance of the stories. “The spells used were likely a combination of Episkey and pain relieving spells, both of which are charms. And very useful to know.” However, not exactly the topic of today’s lesson since surely the castle’s resident charms expert and school healer might like to be the one who taught on those subjects.
Professor Stone tried not to physically wince as Mr. Cadwallader spoke of his own experience. Burns were certainly one of her own least favorite injuries as they could be quite painful. A memory unlocked of attempts to learn various spells like the flame-freezing charm and the less than perfect outcome that became of the life lesson. “Indeed…potions and pastes are another form of first aid,” she agreed with a nod. And also very useful, especially when one worked with various magical creatures that had a thing for fire like the parents of some of her present students. A few more answers were given from assorted students, each idea jotted down on one side of the board for reference, before the transfiguration professor brought everyone’s attention back to her to move them on to the next bit.
“Today we will be working with a first aid spell in particular,” Aurora began, writing one six-letter word on the center of the board. “The incantation is Ferula…or fer-rool-lah.” The phonetic spelling joins the word on the blackboard to give assistance later on when they practiced the spell. “With that in mind, I want to see what you think the spell might do or what it would help with. Remember it’s a transfiguration spell, which would fall under one of the five categories of transfiguration…transformation, switching, conjuration, untransfiguration and vanishment.” That should get them thinking on the matter. All categories were studied at Hogwarts and she had given an overview of them all the the beginning of term to get her feet wet, testing what various years knew from their previous instruction.
ooc: Onto question two. Feel free to get creative. We'll be moving on in about 36 hours.
