A Harry Potter rp?
Yes, I know, for any of you out there that have grown up reading (or just recently sat down and started) and love book series by J.K. Rowling, finding a good quality role play can be hard. Hopefully we can finally make one worth while.
The setting:After the Storm takes place a good 10 years after the events of the last book (supposedly) in the Harry Potter series, surmising that his 7th year at Hogwarts is most likely his final confrontation with the Dark Lord. Things have finally begun to settle down and the headmistress, Mrs. Minerva McGonagall, also head of the Gryffindor house and previously Professor of Transfiguration, has decided that now they must repair the damage and bring Hogwarts back to the school it once was. The school has been in use only partially and staffed by a skeleton crew for the past 10 years, only the most devoted teachers and students remaining and the school due to the fact that the wizarding community has been so focused on repairing the rest of its infrastructure and has let this school slide down its list. With help from a new group of skilled teachers and a new batch of promising students though, Hogwarts may yet soon again become one of the foremost schools in wizard education. However, as with all journeys, there are conflicts and they will find that even with the dark lord dead, there will always be evil and sinister men and women willing to go to any extreme to reach their ends...

Spells from the books: Accio (The Summoning Charm)
Pronunciation: ['æsio] - english
Description: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance. It can be used in two ways: by casting the charm, and naming the object desired ("Accio Firebolt"), or by pointing the wand at the desired object during or immediately following the incantation to "pull" it towards you. In either case, the caster must concentrate upon the object they wish to summon in order for the charm to succeed. It would also appear that the caster must know at least the general location of the object he is trying to summon.

Description: One of the three "Unforgivable Curses". Causes instant death, and leaves no physical signs of cause of death. It cannot be blocked by magical means, although the spell can be blocked by physical cover (which will be heavily damaged in the process), and the caster is still required to aim to hit the target. This spell produces a jet or flash of green light; just before it hits the target, a rushing sound (similar to an oncoming high-speed object) is heard. It is unknown whether it is painless or not.
Avis

Seen/Mentioned: Particularly in reference to Ginny Weasley, who uses it on Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and on Zacharias Smith in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Ginny is considered to be an accomplished caster of this particular hex.

(Bubble-Head Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Puts a large bubble of air around the head of the user. Used as a magical equivalent of a breathing set.

Dissendium
Pronunciation: dis-SEND-ee-um (IPA: /dɪ.'sɛn.di.əm/)
Description: Causes the statue of the humphbacked witch hiding the secret passage to Honeydukes to open up.
Notes: This may not be a spell in the strict sense, but a magical password like "Mimbulus Mimbletonia" (once a password for the Fat Lady) and "Acid Pops" (one of the passwords for Dumbledore's office gargoyle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). However, it is mentioned that Harry has to tap the statue of the crone while saying the spell in order for it to open up. Also, the name of the spell is similar to the way other spells are named, suggesting that it may be a spell in its own right.
(Disillusionment Charm)
Pronunciation: dis-ill-oo-shon-ment
Description: Causes the target to become able to change colour to match their background, effectively hiding them without making them invisible.
Notes: When Disillusioned, the target feels something cold and wet trickling down their back. Likewise, when the charm is lifted, the target feels something hot trickling down their back.
(Drought Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown

(Dumbledore's Charm)

(Enlarging Spell)
Pronunciation: en-gor-gio

Rennervate
Pronunciation: ee-NUR-vayt
Description: An "awakening" spell. Also brings someone out of unconsciousness.
Seen/Mentioned: In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Amos Diggory uses it to wake up Winky, while later Professor Dumbledore uses it to wake up Viktor Krum. Dumbledore also used this spell to wake Barty Crouch Jr to prepare him for questioning. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry uses it in an attempt to wake Professor Dumbledore, and Tonks uses it to wake up Harry on the Hogwarts Express.
Notes: Can be used to counter the effects of the Stupefy spell. Also sometimes referred to in the book as "Rennervate".
Episkey
Pronunciation: eh-PIS-key /ɛpɪ'ski/
Description: Used to heal relatively minor injuries.
Notes: J. K. Rowling writes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Harry's knowledge tells him this spell could belong to a family (or variety) of Healing Spells, in the same way a species of plants belongs to a larger genus.
Evanesco (Vanishing Spell)
Pronunciation: eh-ven-ES-ko (IPA: /ɛ.vn̩.'ɛs.kəʊ/) or ee-vah-NESS-koh (IPA: /i.və.'nɛs.kəʊ/)
Description: Makes something vanish.
Seen/Mentioned: Used in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when Professor Snape makes Harry's potions disappear from his cauldron. Also when Fred and George are showing off their puking pastilles, Lee Jordan cleared the bucket of vomit with the Evanesco spell. Bill used it to clear the table during Harry's first night at Grimmauld Place.
Expecto Patronum (Patronus Charm)
Pronunciation: ek-SPEC-to pah-TRONE-um (IPA: /ɛks.'pɛk.təʊ pə.'trəʊ.nʌm/)
Description: The Patronus Charm is a defensive spell, used to conjure an incarnation of the Witch's or Wizard's innermost positive emotions, to act as a protector. It can also be used to send messages.
Notes: In the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban video game, this spell is the only magic that works against the Dementors, and it is one of Harry's two unique spells.
Notes(2): All Patroni take the form of animals, usually some animal special to the caster. For instance, Harry Potter's Patronus is a stag {Harry's father, James Potter, was an Animagus, who transformed into a stag) while Hermione Grangers is apperently an otter . Also, the form of one's Patronus can change when the caster is put under stress.
Expelliarmus (Disarming Charm)
Pronunciation: ex-pel-lee-AHR-mus (IPA: /ɛks.'pɛ.li.ˌaɹ.mɪs/) (British /ɛkspɛ'liarmʊs/)
Description: This spell is used to disarm another wizard, typically by causing the victim's wand to fly out of reach. It also throws the wizard backwards a few feet when enough power is placed behind it. As demonstrated in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, simultaneous use of this spell by multiple witches or wizards on a single person can throw the wizard back more powerfully.
(False Memory Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Implants a false memory in the mind of the target.
(Featherweight Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Makes something lightweight.
Ferula
Pronunciation: fair-OO-lah /fɛ'rulə/
Description: Creates a bandage and a splint.
(Fidelius Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: This complex charm enables secret information to be hidden within the soul of the recipient, known as a Secret-Keeper. The information is then irretrievable until and unless the Secret-Keeper chooses to reveal it; not even those who have the secret revealed to them can reveal it to others.
Notes: J. K. Rowling has stated that when a Secret-Keeper dies the secret they held can never be revealed to anyone else; the people who were told about the secret before the Secret-Keeper's death will still know the secret, but they will still be unable to reveal the secret to other people even after the death of the Secret-Keeper.
Notes (2): The Fidelius Charm seems to have no effect with regard to animals, as Hedwig found Ron and Hermione in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (unless she was told by Dumbledore somehow).
Finite Incantatem/Finite (Counter-Spell)
Pronunciation: fi-NEE-tay in-can-TAH-tem (IPA: /fɪ.'ni.teɪ ɪn.kn̩.'tæ.dm̩/)
Description: Negates spells or the effects of spells.
Notes: This spell can obviously not be used to counteract the effects of the Avada Kedavra curse, as that would involve bringing back the dead. In the Chamber of Secrets movie, Hermione uses it to blow up the "rogue Bludger" sent by Dobby from attacking Harry. The word "Incantatem" was thought to have only been used in the movies but on page #192 of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" Snape uses it during duelling club.
Flagrate
Pronunciation: flag-RAH-tay /flagra'te/ or FLAG-rayt
Description: With this spell, the caster's wand can leave fiery marks.
(Flame-Freezing Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes fire to become harmless to those caught in it, creating only a gentle, tickling sensation instead of burns.
(Flying Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Apparently the spell cast on broomsticks to make them fly.
Notes: Draco Malfoy mentioned this spell when tauntingly asking Ron Weasley why would anyone cast a Flying Spell on Ron's broomstick which he deems a "mouldy old log" in the fifth book during Ron's first Quidditch practice. It is also mentioned in Quidditch Through the Ages.
(Freezing Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Freezes objects.
Seen/Mentioned: Hermione used it in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the pixies in Defence Against the Dark Arts. Used By Horace Slughorn in Half Blood Prince to disable burglar alarms on muggle houses.
Notes: Could possibly be the spell from the film version, Immobulus.
Furnunculus
Pronunciation: fur-NUNG-kyoo-lus (IPA: [fɝɹ.'nʌŋ.kju.ˌlɪs])
Description: Makes boils appear on the victim.
Glacius (Ice Spell)
Pronunciation: gla^-shee-us
Description: Emits a wave of cold air that freezes anything or anyone it touches.
Growth Charm
Description: Makes things grow.
(Hair-Thickening Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Thickens one's hair.
(Hex Deflection)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Deflects spells. It seems to be similar to a Shield Charm, although deflection does not cause the spell to rebound on the attacker.
Notes: Professor Moody in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is mentioned to have given the class a lesson in it. It could be speculated that hex deflection is not itself a spell at all, but rather refers to the subject of stopping hexes in any number of ways.
(Homorphus Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes an Animagus or transfigured object to reassume its normal shape.
(Horcrux Spell)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: This spell allows a part of a wizard's soul to pass into an object, thereby making the object a Horcrux. One has to commit murder and take advantage of the soul's "splitting apart" by this supreme act of evil in order to be able to perform this spell, and it is probably very complex.
(Hot Air Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes wand to emit hot air.
Notes: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince suggests that the Hot Air Charm can be nonverbal, and only requires a complicated wand movement to be cast successfully.
(Hurling Hex)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes brooms to vibrate violently in the air and try to buck their rider off.
(Imperturbable Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown (Note: this could be the title for Impervius; the two charms seem to have the same effect.)
Description: Makes objects such as doors impenetrable (by everything, including sounds and objects).
Impedimenta (Impediment Jinx)
Pronunciation: im-PED-a-menta [ˌɪmpeɪdɪ'mɛnta]
Description: This hex is capable of tripping, freezing, binding, knocking back and generally impeding the target's progress towards the caster. The extent to which the spell's specific action can be controlled by the caster is unclear.
Imperio (The Imperius Curse)
See The Unforgivable Curses in the world of Harry Potter for more detailed information.
Pronunciation: im-PEER-ee-oh (IPA: [ɪm.'piɹ.i.ˌəʊ]) (classical Latin: eem-PEHR-ee-oh (IPA: [im.ˈpɛɾ.i.ˌɔ])
Description: One of the three "Unforgivable Curses". Places the subject in a dream-like state, in which he or she is utterly subject to the will of the caster, although those who are strong willed may learn to resist it.
Impervius
Pronunciation: im-PER-vi-ous (IPA: [ɪm.'pɝ.vi.ˌɛs])
Description: This spell makes something repel (literally, become impervious to) substances including water and sound.
Inanimatus Conjurus
Pronunciation: in-AN-im-AH-tus con-JUHR-us
Description: Most likely to be the spell used to retrieve objects temporarily vanished by the "Evanesco" spell.
Seen/Mentioned: Briefly in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Incarcerous
Pronunciation: in-CAR-ser-us (IPA: [ɪn.'kaɹ.sɝ.ˌɪs])
Description: Ties someone or something up with ropes.
Notes: A non-verbal version of this spell may have been used to tie up Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It may also have been used by Quirrell near the end of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, although he is said to have merely "snapped his fingers". In addition, Dolores Umbridge used this spell on the centaurs in the forest.
Incendio
Pronunciation: in-SEND-ee-oh (IPA: [ɪn.'sɛn.di.ˌəʊ])
Description: Produces fire (or as it is usually described, blue flames).

Description: Shoots a ball of fire.

Pronunciation: LANG-lock (IPA: ['leɪŋ.lak])
Description: Glues the subject's tongue to the roof of their mouth. Created by the Half-Blood Prince.
(Leeks of the Ear)

Pronunciation: Leg-IL-im-ens (IPA: [lɛ.'dʒɪl.ɪ.ˌmɛnz])

Pronunciation: LI-beer-a-CORE-pus

Locomotor...
Pronunciation: LOW-co-MOW-tor /loˌkomoˈtr̩/
Description: The spell is always used with the name of a target, at which the wand is pointed (e.g. "Locomotor Trunk!"). The spell causes the named object to rise in the air and move around at the will of the caster.
Locomotor Mortis (Leg-Locker Curse)
Pronunciation: LOW-co-MOW-tor MORE-tis /loˌkomoˈtr̩ moʴˈtɪs/
Description: Locks the legs together, preventing the victim from moving the legs in any fashion.
Lumos
Pronunciation: LOO-moss (IPA: ['lu.məʊs])
Description: Creates a narrow beam of light that shines from the wand's tip, like a torch. Remus Lupin also uses it in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to project a small flame (large enough to burn a piece of paper).
Lumos Maxima
Pronunciation: LOO-moss MAX-i-mar (IPA: ['lu.məʊs])
Description: As above, but more powerful.
Lumos Solem
Pronunciation: LOO-moss Sole-em(IPA: ['lu.məʊs])

(Lupin's Light)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: A small, handheld flame.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was conjured non-verbally and possibly without a wand meaning it might have been a magical object instead of a spell.
Mobiliarbus
Pronunciation: Mow-BILL-ee-ARE-bus (IPA: [məʊ.ˌbɪl.i.'aɹ.bɪs])
Description: Moves a tree. An unusually specific use.
Mobilicorpus

Nox

Notes: The above instance in book five only reveals that the Obliteration Charm can remove footprints. There is no explanation as to what effect this has on other things. Possibly destroys things according to name.
Obliviate (Memory Charm)
Pronunciation: oh-BLIV-ee-ate or o-bliv-ee-AH-tay (IPA: [əʊ.ˌblɪ.vi.'a.teɪ])
Description: Used to remove or perhaps alter the subject's memories of an event.
Notes: The Ministry of Magic employees assigned to modifying the memories of Muggles are called Obliviators. The charm can be broken by powerful magic, or extreme duress, as Lord Voldemort was able to torture Bertha Jorkins into remembering details that Barty Crouch Sr had forced her to forget using the charm.
Oppugno
Pronunciation: oh-PUG-no /ɒpʊˈgno/
Description: Apparently causes animals or beings of lesser intelligence to attack.
Orchideous

Description: Makes a bouquet of flowers appear out of the caster's wand.
Pack
Pronunciation: As in English /pæk/
Description: Packs a trunk, or perhaps any luggage.
Notes: The neatness of the packing seems to depend on the desire and ability of the caster.
Notes (2): It may be that "pack" is not the actual incantation, and that Tonks was finishing her sentence while performing a non-verbal spell.
(Permanent Sticking Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Makes object permanently stay in place.
Peskipiksi Pesternomi
Pronunciation: "Pesky pixie, pester no me!" /ˈpɛskiˌpɪksi ˌpɛstɹ̩ˈnoʊmi/
Description: Apparently causes Pixies to leave or at least desist from mischief-making.
Seen/Mentioned: Only in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by Gilderoy Lockhart after releasing a cage full of Cornish pixies into the classroom.
Petrificus Totalus (Full Body Bind)
Pronunciation: puh-TRIH-fuh-cus TOH-tle-us (or toh-TAH-lus, depending upon the caster's preference; the spell achieves the same effect either way) /pəˈtrɪfəkəs ˈtoʊtl̩.əs/
Description: Used to temporarily make the victim be frozen in a position much like a soldier at attention; usually the person falls down.
Point Me (Four-Point Spell)
Pronunciation: As in English /'pɔɪnt 'mi/

Portus
Pronunciation: POUR-tuss (IPA: ['pɔɹ.dɪs])
Description: Turns an object into a Portkey, a device which transports the toucher to a desired destination, with a blue glow.
Prior Incantato
Pronunciation: PRI-or In-can-TAH-toe
Description: Makes a shadowy image of the effect of the last spell cast by a wand emerge from its tip. This is called an "echo" of the spell.
Notes: The nature of the "echo" depends on the original spell. The echo of a conjuring spell, for example, is the object conjured. However, the echo of the Cruciatus curse is the screaming of the victim; the echo of an Avada Kedavra curse is the image of its victim.
Notes (2): When two wands that share the same magical core are forced to engage in battle, a continuing reverse spell effect called Priori Incantatem takes place. This effect is seen during Harry's battle with Lord Voldemort at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
(Protean Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes copies of an object to be remotely affected by changes made to the original.
Protego (Shield Charm)
Pronunciation: Pro-TAY-go (IPA: [pɹəʊ.'teɪ.gəʊ])
Description: The Shield Charm causes minor to moderate jinxes, curses, and hexes to rebound upon the attacker.
Notes: In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Lord Voldemort conjured a shield out of midair to defend himself against an attack by Professor Dumbledore. This may have been a variant of Protego. The original description of this spell states that it rebounds minor jinxes to the caster. However, it is shown in the books that it is used to also reflect powerful spells more than minor spells, depending on the skill of the caster.
Periculum
Description: Shoots out red sparks out of the wizard's or wicthe's wand.
Quietus
Pronunciation: Quee-AY-tuss (IPA: [kwi.'eɪ.dɪs])
Description: Makes a magically magnified voice return to normal. A counter to Sonorus.
Notes: It is conjectural whether Quietus could be used alone to magically quiet a person's voice, or only counteracts Sonorus.
Reducio
Pronunciation: Red-DUE-see-oh (IPA: [ɹɛ.'du.si.ˌəʊ])
Description: Makes an enlarged object smaller. Counter-charm to Engorgio.
Notes: whether Reducio could also be used by itself rather than countering Engorgio is unknown. If it could, it would shrink normal sized items into miniature versions of themselves. References in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by Arthur Weasley to "shrinking door keys" make this seem likely.
Reducto (Reductor Curse)
Pronunciation: Re-DUCK-toe (IPA: [ɹɛ.'dʌk.təʊ])
Description: Disintegrates or destroys objects in the caster's path. It is inferred from the books that this curse is usually invisible and silent, though it was used verbally in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Notes: It may be possible to increase the spell's power, producing different levels of destruction. This is inferred from the books, by analogy in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry accidentally overdoes his Cheering Charm on Ron, causing him to go into fits of hysterical laughter. Another piece of evidence that proves this theory is in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, when Snape attempts to hex Harry in a nonverbal spell exercise. Harry uses a Shield Charm which was "so strong" that Snape was overbalanced and was knocked into a desk. Finally, in The Goblet of Fire, when Mad-eye Moody explains that without the proper amount of magic behind it, the Avada Kedavra Curse could not be executed (thus it takes certain amounts of magic to execute spells, and to use more magical power would be to raise the effect of the spell).
(Refilling Charm)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Refills whatever the caster points at with the drink originally in the container (eg fills a keg with the desired ale).
Notes: Used non-verbally by Harry in the aforementioned circumstance.
Relashio
Pronunciation: Re-LASH-ee-oh (IPA: [ɹɛ.'læ.ʃi.ˌəʊ])
Description: A charm used to force someone or something to release that which it holds or grapples by means of shooting fiery sparks out or, underwater, shooting hot bursts of water.
Notes: This spell may also force a person to physically let go of someone: in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Harry confronts Mundungus Fletcher over his theft of Sirius Black's property. Harry starts to strangle Fletcher when all of a sudden his hands are thrown clean off of his victims' throat.
Rennervate
Pronunciation: ree-NUR-vayt (IPA: [ɹi.nɚɹ'.veɪt])
Description: Appears to rouse an unconscious person.
Reparo
Pronunciation: Re-PAR-oh (IPA: [ɹɛ.'pa.ɹəʊ])
Description: Used to repair objects.
Rictusempra (Tickling Charm)
Pronunciation: RIK-too-SEM-pra
Description: Tickles whoever it hits.
Riddikulus (Boggart-Banishing Spell)
Pronunciation: Ri-DIK-uh-lous
Description: A spell used when fighting a Boggart, "Riddikulus" forces the Boggart to take the appearance of an object the caster finds humorous, with the desire that laughter will weaken the Boggart.
Notes: The effect of the spell seems to rely primarily on the state of mind of the caster. It doesn't actually change the shape of a boggart into something humorous, but rather whatever the caster is concentrating on at the moment of the casting, as when Neville was thinking of his grandmother's dress. Presumably, Mrs Weasley couldn't take her mind off of her fears for her family, so the Boggart was changed into other members of the family rather than something humorous.
Scourgify (Scouring Charm)
Pronunciation: Uncertain; probably [ˈskoɹdʒɪˌfaɪ] or [ˈskɝdʒɪˌfaɪ]
Description: Used to clean something.
Sectumsempra
Pronunciation: SEC-tum-SEMP-ra [ˌsɛktəm'sɛmpɹa]
Description: A spell that creates a gash on the subject the way the wand is moved. Invented by the Half-Blood Prince
Serpensortia
Pronunciation: SER-pen-SORT-ia [ˌsɛɹpən'sɒɹtʃa]
Description: Conjures a serpent from the spellcaster's wand.
Silencio (Silencing Charm)
Pronunciation: [si'lɛnsiˌo]
Description: Makes something silent.
(Slowing Spell)
Pronunciation: Unknown. The only known use was invoked with no reported incantation.
Description: A falling person/object is slowed.
(Slug-Vomiting Jinx)
Pronunciation: Unknown.
Description: A jet of green light strikes the victim, who then vomits slugs.
Sonorus
Pronunciation: [so'noɹəs]
Description: Magnifies the spellcaster's voice.
Specialis Revelio (Scarpin's Revelaspell)
Pronunciation: speh-see-AH-liss reh-VEH-lee-oh or reh-VAY-lee-oh
Description: Apparently causes an object to show its hidden secrets or magical properties.
Notes: In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Professor Snape cast a similar spell, but with different words ("Reveal your secrets!"), on the Marauder's Map, though he may have just been saying those words as he cast the spell non-verbally. The spell may also be able to distinguish different ingredients in a potion.
(Stealth Sensoring Spell)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Detects those under magical disguise.
(Stinging Hex)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Produces a stinging sensation in the victim.
(Stretching Jinx)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Stretches things.
Stupefy (Stunning Spell)
Pronunciation: ST(Y)OO-peh-fye
Description: Puts the victim in an unconscious state.
Notes: The physical manifestation of the spell is a beam of red light emanating from the caster's wand. The spell wears off after a short time, and can be countered by Ennervate. Nearly useless on magic-resistant creatures such as dragons and giants unless more then one Stupefy spell is used at the same time. The force of the spell is additive or perhaps even exponential, and it can cause severe injury if many spells are used on a
(Switching Spell)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: According to the Harry Potter Trading Card Game, it is supposed to switch two objects' places. Harry contemplates using this spell against his dragon in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Also, in the same book, before the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students arrive, Neville Longbottom accidentally puts his ears onto a cactus in Transfiguration. McGonagall yells, in response to this, "Longbottom, kindly do not reveal that you can't even perform a simple Switching Spell in front of anyone from Durmstrang!" Since no parts of the cactus seemed to be exchanged with the ears, it is possible that the Spell may "transplant" as opposed to "switch"; of course, it could just be Neville's own faulty spell. In the first book, Hermione mentions in chapter 9 that if Harry and Ron go to duel Malfoy in the trophy, they will lose all the points she got from Professor McGonagall from "knowing about Switching Spells", meaning they are addressed as early as the first year.
Tarantallegra
Pronunciation: Ta-RAN-ta-LEG-rah
Description: Makes victim's legs dance uncontrollably (recalling the tarantella dance).
Tergeo (Siphoning Charm)
Pronunciation: TUR-jee-oh (IPA: ['tɝ.dʒi.əʊ])
Description: A spell used to clean liquid from a surface.
(Transmogrifian Torture)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: According to Gilderoy Lockhart, a killing curse with a counter-curse which he knows.
(Trip Jinx)
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Once used, makes the object or target of the wand trip.
(Lord Voldemort's Shield)
Pronounciation: Unknown
Description: Used in the book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by Lord Voldemort, in the chapter "The Only One He Ever Feared". It has a shiny silver appearance. Voldemort used it to protect himself from Dumbledore's spell which made the hair on the back of Harry's neck stand up. When hit with the spell, it produced a gonglike sound so it might just be a metal shield.
Waddiwasi
Pronunciation: WAD-ee-WAH-see
Description: Appears to launch small objects through the air.
Notes: It can be presumed that Waddiwasi could be the Banishing Charm.
Wingardium Leviosa (Levitation Charm)
Pronunciation: Win-GUARD-ee-um Le-vee-OH-sah (IPA: [wɪn.'gaɹ.di.ˌʌm lɛ.vi.'əʊ.sə])
Description: Levitates objects.

((I'm startin this damn train))
Alex dragged her school trunk down the platform. The wheel broke again and refused to turn grinding noisily. She loved to have used magic to repair it but the law prevented her from using magic outside Hogwarts until she was seventeen. And since both of her parents were muggles, there was no help coming from them either. All that was left were the usual muggle remedies and also as usual they were sub-par. Other students passed by her, some amused others sympathetic to her plight. She continued dragging it.
I should have got a trolly...

The 23 year old Alex stepped through the hidden entrance to platform 9 3/4 and was greeted by a sight he had not laid eyes on in 10 years. The Hogwarts Express sat in the middle of a familiar scene. Parents fussing over new first years, or in some cases, older students that had a look of annoyance on their faces. He heard the sound of owls as they were loaded on to the train as he made his way through the families and toward the train.
Alex was followed by a large, panting, blue-grey haired Irish wolf hound that came up to his waist and walked with a casual gate of such a large, long legged animal.
He was about to board the train before he saw a young teenage girl dragging a un-compliant piece of luggage across the platform while others only looked on. With a shake of his head he walked over to the girl and took out his wand as he said, "Here, let me help you with that."
Then, with a flick of his wand, the wheel righted itself and began turning correctly.

((Du Ex Alex. Roffle))
Alex looked up and smiled brightly at her savior. "Thanks! I was worried I'd have to drag it all the way to Hogwarts myself!" she spoke in the easily recognisable Bristol accent, "I don't know what it is but my things break all the time. I've broken my broom so many times that it can't even be magically repaired anymore." She indicated the broom strapped to the side of her trunk wrapped nondelicatly with muggle tape. In fact, Alexis struck the very odd appearance of a muggle. Her clothes were what was sure to be the height of muggle fashion (and was of course laughable to anyone from the wizarding world) and she carried a muggle handbag around her arm. Her hair had been colored non-magically as well.

Her clothes were what was sure to be the height of muggle fashion (and was of course laughable to anyone from the wizarding world) and she carried a muggle handbag around her arm. Her hair had been colored non-magically as well. Alexander smirked at the comment as he looked over Alexis' appearance and luggage. "Well, I see you come from non-magical back-ground," he said as he twiddle his wand between his fingers. His voice showed a few hints of an high class english accent, so call 'queens english', but most of his accent was heavily north-med west American, which was not something you heard much around this area. "Even have hair dye," Alex said with a small chuckle. "It's too bad for you, I think people of mixed backgrounds have the greatest advantage, getting to see both sides you know." "But anyway," he said as he extended a hand. "I haven't introduced myself. My name is Alexander Kendal Tolari, I'm a new professor at Hogwarts this year." With a small nudge on his hand from the wolf hound at his side he said, "And this is Elizabeth, but I call her Lizzy. She can be a bit temperamental." Alexander paused for a bit and then said, "What's your name?"

Angelus took his time with his trolley, stopping to adjust his trunk's position. He peered over it to see a girl stunning beauty speaking to good-looking male. Angel is not gay, by the way, he enjoys breasts. "Oi, Robin!" He shoved a scruffy looking boy out of the way, so that Alexis would catch sight of him, his accent was clearly of Lancashire decent.

"I'm Alex too! That is, Alexis. Nice to meet you." She heard Angel's calls and waved him over to the conversation. When he arrived she pounced on him and gave him a wet smooch. "I've missed you darling! I've been so lonely without my little Angel." From the sound of the affection in her voice it was obvious she wasn't romantically involved with the young man but loved him just the same.

He was the talk of all of Beaubaton schoolgirls across northern France, where Angel had spent his holidays with his girlfriend, who he coincidentally broke up with during his stay. "Professor Tolari, sir. Nice to meet you."

And here I was hoping I could slide under the radar with you students. "I'm sure the Slytherins will have a field day with me if any of them know about me."
