| Barahir sat at his desk watching irritated as the castle poltergeist got his classroom ready for the day's lesson. He didn't care much for Peeves but it was necessary for the charm that there be as much ectoplasm as possible.
He looked down at his arm as his fingers flexed. The man probably wouldn't have been gone for so long if it hadn't been for his misadventure with the giants near his home he would have been back at the start of year. And he would have his real arm rather than a mobilized hunk of oak.
When he saw students coming in he dismissed the ghost and stood. "Welcome, second years. Professor Vici will no longer be teaching at Hogwarts. He and his adopted child have left for Merlin knows where." He pointed to the chalkboard where the spell was written along with the strange shape of the hand movement.
"Today we will be learning the Skurge Charm." He told them. "This is a kind of scouring charm used specifically to clean ectoplasm, which has been very happily supplied by our resident poltergeist. It can also be used to frighten ghosts but if you do that I'm not sure the Headmistress will sit well with complaints by the dead."
He moved toward a large pile of the disgusting residue and pointed his wand at it. "Think of the movement as a peculiar three leaf clover and simply say Skurge." With a flash of green the spell began to clean up the mess Peeves left behind. "Now, get to work, the lot of you." | |

| Deirdre followed behind a couple of Ravenclaws to enter the Charms classroom. The sight that awaited them was unexpected and entirely unwanted. Even some of the boys who walked in were sickened by all the ectoplasm lying around.
The girl sighed as she pulled out her wand and got to work. "Skurge!" She pointed her wand at the horrible mass but instead of cleaning it, it seemed to just move out of the way. "Hm. Must have gotten ta movement wrong." | |

| Arya walked alone to her Charms lesson, unable to find Adele beforehand. Apparently, Professor Barahir was back with a wooden arm; she kind of wanted to see it, but figured it would be rude to ask.
"Oh, disgustin'," a fellow student said upon entering the classroom.
What's disgusting? Is it his arm?? she thought excitedly, rushing into the room. Arry grimaced as she took in the sight: a substance that seemed to be blue, green, and purple all at once covered every surface. It made more sense once Barahir explained that it was ectoplasm. Setting her bag down beside a desk, Arya ventured to touch the stuff.
"Ugh," she frowned, shaking it off her hands. It was somehow gooey, rubbery, and watery.
"Arya, did you hear what he said about Vici?" Edwin whispered. "He's taken Tari with him."
"What?" she gasped, saddened by the news. She and Tari had grown fairly close last year, though she didn't know the girl was being adopted by their professor. "Blimey."
A Ravenclaw girl shushed her, and Arya rolled her eyes. Pulling out her wand, she got to work. | |

| I know this spell already, Marigold thought, getting up from her desk to clean up the ectoplasm. This spell was great for Healers; it cleaned up any time of bile or feces or vomit or any other mess that patients can make. She wasn't annoyed that she already knew the spell; she just didn't find it challenging. She also thought that this was a form of child labor but then again, everything was a form of child labor. Marigold drew the three leaf clover and began to clean up the mess.
"Wow, Marigold. How do you have so much control?" Elsa asked her, as Marigold did a spin to avoid running into her. Marigold looked at Elsa. Her spell wasn't working too well and there were some splashes of ectoplasm on the floor from the places Elsa was missing.
"I'm not sure. I just don't think about it too much. The spell will do what the spell will do," Marigold told her. Elsa nodded and seemed to loose her concentration. Suddenly, any ectoplasm that Elsa was sucking into her wand, fell from the ceiling and onto Marigold. Marigold's Skruge spell stopped and Marigold took a deep breath.
"Marigold! I'm sooo sorry! I just...." Elsa started. Marigold held up her hand to stop her. Marigold recast the Skruge spell and started sucking the ectoplasm off herself. | |

| Adelaine was not excited about this lesson. She didn’t want to look at ectoplasm, let alone focus on it hardcore and cast spells on it. Why did it even exist? As if Peeves wasn’t irritating enough.
“Skurge!” she shouted.
The goo in front of her shot forward and smacked Ed on the back of his neck. She may have been thinking too harshly when she made the movement, just wishing for the stuff to be gone. Ed turned quickly, and Adele had to stifle a laugh.
“I am so…” She laughed before she could finish.
“Nice job,” Ed rolled his eyes, brushing the ectoplasm off his neck. “Aren’t you Ravenclaws supposed to be good at everything?”
“Hmm..This gives me an idea,” Jon muttered with a mischievous grin.
Oh, great, Adele thought. He’s already planning for his next detention. She stood up and used two flat pieces of copper to push her ectoplasm around and pick it up. As if it were a pile of explosives, she held it out as far as her arms could reach as she walked back to her desk. I’m considering taking a ‘T’ for this lesson and getting out of here. | |

| Mira’s day had been pretty gloomy so far, and it was only 9:30 in the morning. She slept late, missed breakfast, and didn’t make her morning Herbology class…not that she really minded skipping the most boring subject of all time, but it would affect her attendance record and grade. Sometimes I think I should’ve been in Ravenclaw. With a quiet sigh, she prodded the ectoplasm in front of her and forgot all about her worries. Charms was her favorite subject, the one she was most confident in, and ectoplasm fascinated her. One look at Edwin scraping the smushy substance off his neck told her he didn’t feel the same.
“Skurge, skurge, skurge,” she muttered, practicing the movement at the same time with a twig she’d found in the courtyard. It was a rich beige color with pretty swirls engraved on it, so she kept it; it was probably someone’s whittling project.
“Loser,” she heard someone scoff behind her.
It was a snarky, rather pug-faced Slytherin girl. Mira spun around to make eye contact with her and spoke quietly with an icy tone. “Maybe if you bothered practicing, too, you wouldn’t Trolls in all your courses, Zelena. And maybe if you changed that smug little attitude of yours, you wouldn’t have lost all your friends in your first year.”
That shut the girl up nicely. Mira turned back to her ectoplasm; she was not one to mess with on an empty stomach and failing attendance record. | |
