Abby smiled as he showed off his super hero-ness. "Very cool," she said appreciatively. Eh, she didn't want to get in trouble for being chatty. Especially since Ravenclaw couldn't lose any more points. Although the professor seemed really nice. Meh. She wouldn't risk it. Maybe if she met this boy later on outside of class, they could speak properly.

SPOILER!!: PROFESSOR!

Now there are other charms that can be used in baking, and in the end, you could use a number of charms to pretty much do the entire process for you," she explained, as she weaved her way through the maze of tables in the room. She stopped in the center of the room next to a table of about four or five. "The charm we're focusing on today, though, will cause a spoon...or any utensil, really...to turn on its on and a washrag to clean all the dishes for us."

"Follow along...," she instructed. Still standing next to that table of four or five, Lexi grabbed one of the extra wooden spoons and placed it inside one of the extra mixing bowls. With a swish, flick in the direction of the bowl, she said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" When the mixing bowl was about a foot or so in the air, she tapped her wand against its side and said, "Fixate!" The bowl stopped levitating and fixed itself at the height it had been at when she'd tapped its side. "You'll want to actually levitate the bowl rather than just raising it by hand. Fixate will fix anything attached to the bowl---fingers included. Although, a simple finite will cure anything of the sort...just in case, you know."

"Follow all directions, and you shouldn't have any trouble, though," she stressed. "Now once you've got your mixing bowl and wooden spoon hovering in the air, you can cast a locomotor charm to get the spoon to moving as you need it to." To demonstrate, she pointed her wand directly at the spoon then began turning her wand in the direction she wished for the spoon to go in. "Locomotor spoon," she said, her wand still turning. The spoon began turning in the direction Lexi's wand was turning in and at the speed her wand had been turning. "Notice the spoon is following the direction and speed of my wand. You don't want the spoon to turn too slowly or...fling batter all over the room." On that note, she sort of half-glared, daring anyone to try anything of the sort on purpose. "The mixing bowl and spoon will continue like this until you just point your wand at both and use finite. Just be ready to catch them...especially if you're using the same charm to wash breakable dishes..."

"How is this charm helpful...getting a spoon to turn on its own, I mean? Why would someone want to use it?" she asked, her eyes scanning the room. "...and if there aren't any questions, you can start practice the charm now. When everyone seems to have the hang of it, we'll start the baking."

While Lexi waited for the ideas to come in and for the practicing to begin, she charmed the chalk to list the steps on the board.

Put the spoon in the mixing bowl.
Direct your wand to the bowl. Swish and flick then say "Wingardium Leviosa."
When the mixing bowl is about a foot or so in the air, tap your wand against its side and say, "Fixate."
Point your wand at the spoon, then turn your wand in the direction you want the spoon to go in and at the speed you want the spoon to go in. Then say, "Locomotor spoon."
The mixing bowl and spoon will continue to work their magic until you point your wand at both and use finite.

Abby patted her wand lying on the table next to her bowl and spoon. Wand out, check.

CUPCAKES? YES! Maybe they would be learning how to make super yummeh awesome ones like the cupcakes that had been served at the Ravenclaw celebration. Mmmm. She continued to watch the professor's demonstration, taking note of each wand motion and incantation.

Okay, so the levitation charm was easy enough. Abby swished and flicked her wand at her bowl. "Wingardium Leviosa." Her bowl rose and she waited a little. As for Fixate, Abby had only ever used it a few times before, but it was pretty basic. With her bowl at the proper height, she tapped it on its side and cast the charm to make it stop.

Alrighty. Next the spoon. Abby pointed her wand at the wooden spoon lying on the table. Erm, she didn't want a flying spoon, so she moved so that her wand was pointing at the bowl at a medium speed of sorts. "Locomotor spool." The spoon lifted and followed the direction her wand had taken over to the bowl. With that, she continued to turn the spoon. Yay! This was fun.

"Having the spoon turn on its own might be useful if you don't want to get your hands messy," Abby said. "Also, maybe if you're mixing something like batter, which could be thick depending on what you're making, this charm could reduce effort."
