Anything extra? - I am excited to be a first year here at Hogwarts. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, cooking and some Muggle hobbies (like playing video games). I'm quite into the historical figures in the school's history, especially the previous Transfiguration Professor and Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. My favorite animals are the Phoenix (mythological) or the skunk (mundane).

{{ I shall try to be on as much as possible. I'm having a ton of irl problems right now so please be patient with me. Thank you so much! }}

any thing extra: I'm really excited to learn a lot here at Hogwarts since it's my first year. I'm really determined to do well in classes which is seemingly odd for a Slytherin.

CURRENT LESSON
charms level 1
lesson 2

Alohomora- From Hawaiian “Aloha” which means “hello/farewell” and Latin “mora” which means “obstacle”. This spell is used to open a locked door or window. While
it will not unlock all magically sealed doors, it works well against
"Colloportus."
this spell is used in most non combat situations but is still a valuable spell to know
the pronunciation is ah-lor-a-mora

Cheering Charm-
these charms are for beneficial use only they cause the target to become happy more relaxed and more friendly
the incantation is tuor vardamir
the pronunciation is two-R-VARD-A-mirror

Confundus Charm
“Confundo” is Latin for “to confuse”. Used to confuse an object or person,
to make them believe what the spell caster wants them to.
it is a spell that is relative to the caster's power can cause people to be very disorientated
the pronunciation is kon-fun-do
charms level 2
lesson 2

Reducio

Pronunciation: /rɛˈdjuːsi.oʊ/ re-DEW-see-oh

Suggested etymology redusen" Middle Eng. diminish, from "reducer" Old French. bring back to the source, from "reducere" Latin. bring, lead

this spell is used to make things smaller it is a great counter to engorgio

it is most often used to return things to their normal size after the engorgio spell has been done another use for this spell is to make things smaller so that they are lighter and take up less space great for travel

Rennervate

Pronunciation: /ˈrɛnərveɪt/ REN-ər-vayt

this spell is good for bringing people out of unconsciousness when this spell is cast successfully it will emit a red light just like the stunning spell will
it is also a counter to the stunning spell not really used for combat but can wake up a friend who has been hit with the stunning spell and that gives you more people to continue the duel with

Suggested etymology from the prefix "re-" would come from Latin re-, "again" and "en-" Old French from "in-" L. cause to be + "nerves" Eng. c.1603 strength, from "nervus" L. nerve

Petrificus Totalus (Body-Bind Curse)
Pronunciation: /pɛˈtrɪfɨkəs toʊˈtæləs/ pe-TRIF-i-kəs toh-TAL-əs

Description: Used to temporarily bind the victim's body in a position much like that of a soldier at attention; this spell does not restrict breathing or seeing, and the victim will usually fall to the ground. this spell has many uses from stopping people from getting away to keeping others from attacking you or a friend.

note the eyes of the target remain mobile which means the person is still aware of what is going on.

Suggested etymology English petrify meaning "to turn to stone" and English total meaning complete

charms level 3
chrams lesson 2
Densaugeo
Pronunciation: /dɛnˈsɔːdʒiː.oʊ/ den-SAW-jee-oh
Description: Causes the teeth of the recipient to grow at an alarming rate.
Suggested Etymology: Latin dens, meaning "tooth", and augeo, meaning "to enlarge". this spell is more of a distraction not realy that useful

Duro

Pronunciation: /ˈdjʊəroʊ/ DEWR-oh
this spell turns the target to stone in some countries it is considered the same as being petrified the mandrake potion can restore a person hit with a duro spell this is a great combat spell i mean it takes the resources away from enemies and makes one less attacker and if you win the fight you have a living person to interragate

Expulso

Pronunciation: /ɛkˈspʊlsoʊ/ ek-SPOOL-soh
Description: A spell that causes an object to explode. The force of the explosion may depend on the intent of the caster.
this is a very useful spell in combat it only works on objects though if you cast it at a living thing it will fail but the items around them are very good targets by exploding the objects around them you cause two things to happen
first they no longer have a item to throw/hide behind
and 2 the shrapnel from the item exploding can cause them to take minor wounds that may be fatal it will also cause them to be distracted at the very least making them an easier opponent to disarm and subdue or escape from.
Suggested etymology: Latin expulso meaning to "drive out, expel, force out, banish."

Suggested Etymology: Latin obscuro meaning "to hide or conceal".

(Obliteration Charm)
Description: Removes things not wished to be seen again.this spell is dangerous do not point at living creatures this spell causes something to be completely destroyed the power levels vary depending on how much the caster wants to destroy something it can do any thing from removing foot prints like it did in the 5th book or it can cause great harm to living things it will utterly destroy anything that it hits
Suggested Etymology: latin for remove by ruination
aufero per ruina
