Chapter 50: Charms(2)

Flitwick waved his wand once he got near Nick causing a silencing charm around them to isolate their conversation. This wasn't strictly necessary but hearing the word "Lumos" over and over while you were talking is plain distracting. "Your choice of wording for the spell was rather on the nose , no? I am not complaining since the results spoke for themselves but it does stoke my curiosity." Flitwick said with a smile. Nick grinned "I have figured out that the intent behind a spell is just as important as it's wording. I wanted to recreate the stars so I held that image in my head and found the best words for what I wanted the spell to do."-

"So the english translation for the spell was literally "throw a thousand lights" whereas the change to the counterspell "Nox" literally changed it to "fading night" creating the spectacle you saw before. I am curious if any of my classmates might try and copy my spell to impress the opposite gender." Nick said with a laugh. Flitwick also chuckled "I am sure it will certainly happen eventually. You are however correct about the intent behind magic being important , though you are underestimating how important." he said helpfully.-

Nick was surprised by this and fell deep into thought since if a charm master like Flitwick said so it should be true. "Now then if it's not too much trouble could I ask you to help your fellow students with the spell for an extra ten points?" Flitwick asked with a smile. Nick shrugged "It's not a problem for me. The members of Slytherin house may feel a bit slighted to be taught by a muggleborn , it shouldn't be too much of an issue though." Nick said with a casual grin.-

'Natural leader , Albus is right to be cautious of him. If he wanted to he could easily become the next dark lord , on par with Grindelwald even in terms of charisma.' The teacher thought seriously. 'He seems like a good lad though so I have faith he won't end up like those two.' he thought calmly. Once Seamus was mostly set for the spell Nick walked into the center of the room again to observe the entire class for anyone needing help. Neville was having trouble with the spell even though he had paid attention to what Nick said.
