Nick smiled at Christabelle who came up to sit next to him, she teased him about his question about Unforgivables and gave her a slight nudge to tell her to shut it. She could be so sweet at times, and her concern about the whole Transfiguration thing made him smile wider "Yeah, I think I must have been hexed in the corridors or something, I just had to leave, my head was splitting, Ill pop round to Proffesor Emof's office later on today and get the class notes. He is a pretty cool guy so Im sure he wont mind."
Nick was slightly dissapointed that conversation moved away from Unforgivables and on to more basic spells, Averte Statura, not something he would use if cornered but a good defensive spell none the less. Looking around and seeing no-one willing to answer Nick raised his hand and cleared his throut, once allowed to speak he did so "Well it is a defensive spell miss. Good when your in an awkward situation and you need to buy some time to get away. If I remember correctly it simply blasts your opponent backwards. I dont think there are any lasting effects once you cast it, its just like picking up your opponent and throwing them away. Is it not?" He added to cover his back, though he was sure he was right. He turned and smiled at Christabelle "Where were you on that one." he whispered teasingly.
