Charms Club: Clear the room!

[magelet.livejournal.com]

The memberlist/application is here. It has not been updated yet.


For this week’s activity we’ll be doing a participation type of a different sort. As members of the Charms club you’re all familiar with different types of spells, correct? *Hears a unanimous ‘yes’* I will be giving you all a sample situation where the need for a spell (or maybe two!) is needed to save the day. It is preferable if you don’t use the same spells that someone else did already, if you do however, it’s still fine. Just make your situation as different from the other person as possible. I encourage creativity! Using the unusual charm and making it work in this situation will earn you a brownie. There’s no definite right answer.

In case people don’t understand what I’m getting at, this will kind of be like an rp tag. I open and you conclude. You must mention use of at least one charm, its wand movement if it exists and the effects the charm has. Of course, remember to sign with your name and house ♥



There have recently been many noises coming from this room at night. Whispers of blood chilling horror, unexplained shadows and lights with the occasional seductive scents of honey. You brace yourself, expecting the worse as you enter the room and hear the door quickly shut behind you. Upon a quick survey of the room you notice nothing out of the ordinary besides an exceptional amount of dust and – “wham!” What was that? You think to yourself and quickly look left and right trying to pick out anything, just anything that might’ve made that noise.

It takes you another few seconds of searching before you spot it. Orange and black stripes. First one and then more and more flying, or rather, buzzing around behind a cloth covered closet. The Giant Barnacle Bees; a whole nest of them. Each one almost the size of your palm in length.

“Please capture them all alive~!” comes the voice of your Club leader from beyond the door. That was easy for her to say. You return your attention to the Bees, first you need to protect yourself from their stingers, second would come the capture.



You have until the 20th of January to clear the room!

Charms Club Activity

"I... I have to PEE," I whine at the door. "RIGHT NOW!"

I look around the room.
"Sugar Honey Iced Tea," I hiss.

I slink to the floor behind a chair and cast The Defensive Charm (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_d.html#Defensive) on myself just in case.

I'm going through every charm I've ever read or heard about. I grin, remembering "My life with as a Cornish Pixie Rescue and Relocate agent" by Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Peskipiksi Pesternomi! (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_p.html#Peskipiksi)" I shout, aiming my wand up at the bees.

Nada. "Oh hell," I think. "They're not Pixies you idiot!"
"Peski....bee Pesternomi?" I call out. "What the hell is Latin for 'bee'?" I wonder to myself, mentally noting to brush up on my Latin as soon as I have a free moment.

The bees are angry. The buzzing gets louder as they approach nearer.

"The buzzing... they communicate through the buzzing," I reason as I cannot remember ever having read anything in depth regarding Giant Barnacle Bees. "That must've been the chapter I skimmed!" I curse myself.

"SILENCIO!" I swish and flick my wand toward the approaching swarm. "STUPEFY!" I try, desperately swishing and flicking, trying to ward off an attack.

The bees hang in midair, frozen, but growing ever angrier. "Catch them?! She can't be serious," I mutter.

"CONFUNDUS," (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_c.html#Confundus) I do a loop-de-loop, swish, flick combination to cast the Confundus charm at the bees. They appear dazed.

"Okay uhh..." I'm thinking, grasping at straws, knowing Mary Sue Knowlesital, a Ravenclaw in my class, will be up after me, and probably will do it right the FIRST time. I have to outdo her. I pace, knowing my spells will wear off at any moment.

"OOH!! OOH!!! CONFUNDUS!" (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_c.html#Confundus) I cast. "I am the GRAND HIGH QUEEN BEE!" I tell them, hoping and praying it will work. "You must follow me to a new hive. One with a POOL and a VIEW!" I promise.

I cast the Cheering Charm (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_c.html#Cheering) at the bees to make them happy, and feel good towards me whether or not they've understood. If nothing else, maybe I'll make it out alive.

"ORCHIDEOUS!" (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_o.html#Orchideous) I chant, and a fragrant bloom springs from the tip of my wand.

I walk towards the door. "Alohemora!" I cast, unlocking the door and beckoning my swarm to follow.

"If this works, someone should totally Scourgify (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_s.html#Scouring) this place," I note to the Professor.

I see Mary Sue's shocked and horrified face as I walk through the door. Feeling just a bit smug, but terrified myself... for if my litany of spells and charms may not have worked I've just unleashed a very angry swarm of Giant Barnacle Bees loose in the castle.

*gulp*
