I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

So how'd the rest of you do on the Dark Arts OWL?

What did they ask you to do?

Is it true that some people had to cast spells on Muggles? Including Crucio?

[alt_sally_anne]

I don't know anyone who got asked to cast cruciatus but I was told to cast a spell on a muggle, yeah.

[alt_neville]

What kind of spell was it?

[alt_sally_anne]

It's a spell that makes you perceive things that aren't really there. I was supposed to make him think he was violently ill.

He was begging me to just kill him

I didn't do it. I pretended I couldn't remember the spell.

He'd been used for a bunch of student exams already. I don't know whose. They put a silencing spell on him when they saw he was distracting He said he couldn't take any more.

Yeah, I was in there at the same time as Zabini, and they had him cast that gyro curse that makes a person so dizzy they feel as if their head is going to spin off and all their other parts are spinning even faster but in totally different directions. It was just like the description in the book, too. You could tell just watching the poor bloke he cast it on. He was staggering around until he finally fell, and it made him sick up all over everything, himself and the floor and even the examiner's table. Zabini took it off, though, as soon as his shoes got splattered.

I just had to do the blood ward on a box flobberworms. Mind you, they were dead when I opened it up again, but I think that was part of the test--to see if it had really sealed tight. Anywiz, Professor Tofty couldn't open it at all, so I think I did all right. Better than on the written part, anyway.

They had me do the clothes tightening hex.
