Committee on Experimental Charms
This committee is in charge of handling any experiments that wizards and witches conduct using spellwork. If someone presents a new spell that they "invented" to the committee, it is their job to determine whether or not the new spell is dangerous or not, and whether it should be registered. Also, if any reports of dangerous experiements come in, the committee should take care of the situation IMMEDIATELY. If you have some free time, it is all encouraged that you dabble in experimentation yourself to come up with some new charmed objects for us!
Don't forget to fill out reports by the due date! | |

Which I don't think the wizard community might accept... So in my opinion such spell even if it has many advantages must be denied..." Piper finished hoping that this was the answer her boss was looking for.
Brianna nodded, "Yes, those reasons alone are enough to warrant the denial of this charm." She paused, then added, "Not only that, but the fact that an animal can speak wouldn't change its normal habits. So while this may work on domesticated animals, though I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want to know what they have to say, it wouldn't work on wild animals. Wild animals would still be fearful and naturally would want to stay as far from us as possible, and giving them the power of speech wouldn't change that." She sat up, leaning back towards her desk, "That one is definitely getting denied, good job, Piper." She smiled at her new employee, glad that someone so bright was in this position.

Piper sat straight up and smiled to her boss, she grabed a new parchement and started writing. Quote:
Dear Mrs. Ava
It is upon me and with regret to inform you that your request to have the dissero charm approved has been denied. While we see the advantages of having animals speak to us and have the power to share their emotions with us, we cannot in all good conscience approve this. The charm work on living beings can cause the animal to get hurt or even worth it's death. Also there is a big number of charms that work on animals those have been approvd because they don't change the habit of an animal. The other reason why your charm has been denied is the fear of exposure. Animals can get in contact with a lot of muggles, increasing the rate of the exposure. Please understand that we are placing this charm on the banned list.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter, we hope you will continue to be creative and submit your requests to us!
Sincerely,
Piper Underwood
Committee on Experimental Charms
She passed the letter to her boss for a final approval before she could place it in her outbox.

Brianna read through the letter and nodded in approval. "Very good. It's friendly, but firm, and relays the message without being rude." She smiled and handed it back for Piper to seal and send. "That is one thing we strive for here, we want to be supportive of the endeavors of the creative souls who think up these charms. But we also want to encourage them in the right direction. Sometimes that is hard to do with gentleness, but it must be done. In this letter you have covered both ends of the spectrum: A firm refusal, and encouragement to continue being creative. Without people continuing to dream up these charms, we'd be out of a job!" She finished with a smile, knowing that there were always more charms to evaluate around here.

Madeline poked her head into the office door, catching a few pieces of the conversation that was going on. "Excellent!" she cried, catching a few of the members off guard. "Sorry if I startled anyone," she said, blushing a bit, "It's just that you're all getting started on your work already...that's fantastic," she added. "Good to see you're getting all those letter's done. Now, I'll let you know when you have to go in the field and actually examine one of the spells in use, so why don't we practice that?"
She walked up to the first desk she found and plopped a folder on top of the already large pile of papers on the wood finish. "Here's a mock mission for you to complete...all the instructions are already there," she explained. "Excuse me, I've got to go deliver these to the rest of the offices..." she said, trailing off as she reache under her arm and grabbed another folder marked "Muggle Worthy Excuse Committee," "Have fun!" she called as she left the room in a flourish. Quote: "Mock" Mission: Look at the scenario below and come up with a detailed plan of action to get the job done. Assign things to members such as researchers (are the witnesses realible? If so, are they telling the truth) testers, and of course what your final verdict on the spell is! When you're finished, just send someone down to Madeline's office to drop off your finished scenario.
A young wizard, Benji Newman, has been looking for a way to put his mark on the Wizarding world, and as soon as possible. He's come up with a fantastic spell that makes all blemishes disappear instantly from one's body--without any potions at all! However, in his rush to make history, he may have skipped a few steps. He insists the spell is fool-proof, but two people have said that:
-Delilah Hucklebee, 26, used to date Newman while they were in school. She claims that he was a slacker and never did his homework, so he most likely has come up with a spell that only works once in a while. However, she also stated that she and Benji ended their relationship after he caught her kissing another boy in the detention hall.
-Gladys Victorla, 67, taught Benji at Hogwarts and said he was gifted in charms, but not much else. However, she has also said he always completed homework for her class. So, what do you think? Are Gladys and Delilah credible sources? Who will be researching the witnesses backgrounds? Who will test the spell? What will be the final outcome?
If you have any questions please contact Madeline ASAP. This is general practice for how most missions should be planned, although this setup is subject to change. Remember to just have fun with it and get the job done! Also keep in mind that when you're on the field, it could be very different...Wizards don't always act the way you want them to

Brianna got up and walked over to the desk that the folder had been placed on. "Ooh, this looks interesting!" She said while flipping through the folder. She walked back to her desk with her face buried in the papers, reading through them. She turned and continued reading as she sat down. "Looks like we're going to have fun unravelling this one!" She glanced up at Piper. "Bring your chair over here and we'll get started on this." She moved over to give Piper enough room to sit down at the desk and motioned to the folder.

Shai was on the other side of the desk skimming the pages as her boss turned them. "Wow," she said, "just wow. This one is interesting. But we have to weigh out the two witnesses here: a possibly vindictive ex girlfriend, and an aging teacher who probably hasn't had this student in 9 or 10 years. Let's review the facts more closely, shall we?"
She giggled, "Well wouldn't I like a charm that would remove all my blemishes!" At this she surreptitiously touched her face and laughed.
"Now let's get down to business! I can't wait to see how we work together as a team!"

"Hmmm... Interesting... Very interesting..." Piper said as she finished reading the paper. "Well, if you ask me what we should do... I think we will have to call the two women to testify as well as the young wizard, what was his name again... Oh yes! Benji Newman" Piper said as she looked back at the papers.
"Hmmm maybe we can arrange for a meeting with Mr. Newman where he can show us his charm and one of us can test again, and look for it's downfall... We can as well, get the two women to court and question them... We can work with department of law enforcement on that one... So what do you think?" Piper asked.

Brianna shook her head, "You're on the right track, but you're being a bit too eager to get them in here this time. We have more information to sort through first." She paused, flipping through the papers and looking over at Shai on her other side, "You touched on the one thing that captured my attention: Well wouldn't I like a charm that would remove all my blemishes! That seems to be what Mr. Newman is relying on in this case. He knows that everyone would want to use this charm, especially young witches and wizards." She turned another page, coming back to the ex-girlfriend's statement. "Let's start here with her testimony: Delilah Hucklebee, 26, used to date Newman while they were in school. She claims that he was a slacker and never did his homework, so he most likely has come up with a spell that only works once in a while. However, she also stated that she and Benji ended their relationship after he caught her kissing another boy in the detention hall." Brianna wrinkled her brow in thought and read the passage silently again. "Okay, the ex-girlfriend cheated on him while they were dating, though she seems to be slightly bitter about that, there's something else here. Do either of you see it?"

"Yes I guess so... She has said that he was a slacker which would be the reason why she had cheated on him in the first place... Which mean she did have a point about Newman being a slacker" Piper said knowing that this wasn't her best answer.

Piper thought about her answer again... She took another look at the paper, she didn't know.. Wait! she thought. "Do you mean something related to the other testemony?" Piper asked her boss.

"Nope." Brianna wanted Piper to keep thinking on this problem, so she added, "Keep thinking only of the first testimony." She placed the paper closer to Piper so she could read back over it.

"Hmmm how about that she mentioned something that the spell works once in a while... That means she might have tried the spell?" Piper said more in a question way than an answer.

Brianna pointed to the paper, "Look at where she was when she was kissing the other boy...." She trailed off, waiting to see what Piper would make of it now that she'd pointed it out.

"You mean the detention hall... I know it means that the girl might be some of a mess maker but I got detention once... Oh!! but wait... She kissed a boy there right? That mean she must be a regular detention girl..." Piper said as if she had discovered something important.

Brianna smiled, the girl could definitely think on her feet, it had just taken but a moment to trigger the thought process. "Right. It appears that she is a regular in detention--Not only that, but she also appears to enjoy the bad boy types." She turned back to the case file, "So exactly how reliable is her testimony?"

"Well that would make her testimony not so reliable... I mean the girl was using all sort of lies maybe to get into detention... But if she really liked Newman and she was all of the bad boys types doesn't that make Newman not more reliable than she is... I mean maybe the reason after Newman's creation of the spell was to hurt someone not cure blemishes." Piper said.

Now, she could have been telling the truth about him, but we don't know much about his character from this." She flipped to the other testimony, "Gladys Victorla, 67, taught Benji at Hogwarts and said he was gifted in charms, but not much else. However, she has also said he always completed homework for her class. Adding this statement on to what we know of the previous statement, what can you infer?"

"The first things I can deduce is that Delilah lied about Newman never completing his homework which take us back to Delilah's unclear background... It also shows that the boy was talented in charms which might make him an excellent Charm creator... But what about him not being good at anything else but charms... Charm creating needs a much greater deal than a talent in charms" Piper replied.

"We don't have an accurate picture of his academics, just the testimony of a bitter exgirlfriend and one of his teachers." She grabbed a peice of parchment and began writing down what they had discussed thus far to keep everything separated. "What else can we gather? Let's go back and work paragraph by paragraph through this note." She tapped a finger at the top of the original file, "Alright, so he's young, and eager, but maybe not exceptionally talented in anything other than Charms. But we all know that talent in performing charms doesn't mean that he has a talent for producing them." She tapped her finger against her chin now, thinking hard about the situation. "Hmmm...What do you think so far?"

As far as we know he might not have ever completed homework in other classes. And she states that he wasn't gifted in much else..." Shai trailed off and continued, "Well we can infer that Mr. Newman may have been a mediocre student with mediocre magical abilities that excelled in one area--charms."

Or he may have been a horrible student....We just don't know with the information we have on hand right now."

"Very young but talented in one area... It happens but not quite often... Wait what if the spell was never his?" Piper asked.

Let's go back and work paragraph by paragraph through this note." She tapped a finger at the top of the original file, "Alright, so he's young, and eager, but maybe not exceptionally talented in anything other than Charms. But we all know that talent in performing charms doesn't mean that he has a talent for producing them." She tapped her finger against her chin now, thinking hard about the situation. "Hmmm...What do you think so far?"
Shai peered over at the file, "Well it says he's eager to leave his mark on the wizarding world, which isn't always the best reason to create a charm. And like you pointed out, just because one is gifted at producing charms, doesn't mean they are gifted at creating them. What I think so far is that we'd need a fuller testimony from his charms teacher, to see if he ever tried creating charms or seemed interested in such things while he was in school. Perhaps talk to one or two more of his teachers and see what kind of student he was like in their classes, you know, to see if we can corroborate the ex girlfriend's statements. We have two differing opinions, but with something common...the ex says he was a slacker, the teacher says he wasn't gifted in much else. They aren't the same thing, but they're similar." Shai stopped for a moment to think.

Shai stopped for a moment to think.
Brianna shook her head at Piper's question, "No, we must assume that the spell is his for now." She looked thoughtful at what Shai was pointing out, "True, they are similar..." Her brow wrinkled again, "The wording here is bugging me though....He wants to 'leave his mark' on the wizarding world by removing marks? That, to me, could mean something bad...if he is a slacker or someone who wants to get back at the world he couldn't excell in. Or it could mean nothing at all and could just be clever wording on the part of our lovely department head." She finished the last with a smile, "Either way, we have to take every word as a clue about how to figure out this problem."
