HW

1. At what are Hogwarts students allowed to swear loudly if smoovenu attenuclea attempts to strangle them?

Venemous Tentaculae Although actually, I'd be swearing at whoever had planted it.

2. An animal form protector charm is a stuproan.

Patronus. Although in saying animal form, one may confuse. They appear as animals, yes, but the animals they appear as are silvery and translucent. If something that looks like a crow comes up and caws at you, it is probably NOT a patronus.

3. Who is the potions master in HBP? Choare Gushroln

Horace Slughorn. Corpulant Sycophant HS is blamed by at least one of my friends at least in part for the shining example of manhood that Tom Riddle became. Having done my time teaching HS, I would like to say that HS teachers rarely have that sort of influence, so he must have managed it all before fourth year was over.

4. What is Aragog? A troaclanuam

Aragog, the giant spider, is an Acromantula. We have no idea if he is related to Shelob or not. History is mute on so many really important points.

5. Who is imperiused and cursed by a necklace in HBP? Itkea Lebl

Katie Bell.

6. What does Harry destroy in HBP? choxerrous

This spells Horcruxes, but which did he destroy in HBP? He got Tom Riddle's diary in CoS. Dumbledore got the ring in between Order of the Phoenix and HBP. Hermione got the cup, Ron got the locket, The fiend fire started by Crabbe or Goyle (I can never tell those two apart) got the diadem of Ravenclaw, Neville got the snake and Voldemort got Harry, all in DH. Doesn't that equal seven?

What he does do is go to the hidden cave by the seashore and steal the fake locket RAB left there. This adventure weakens Dumbledore and he is killed by Snape shortly after his return to Hogwarts. No Horcrux was actually harmed in the making of this book, though.

7. Draught of living death is comprised of ? (list the four components)

The four components are asphodel, in an infusion of wormwood, valerian roots and sopophorous beans.

Exactly how oftern this would be used in everyday life and why anyone would want to teach HS kids to brew it is beyond me.

8. What potion can reverse the draught of living death? dweliggnew

I do not believe this actually translates to anything. I can't find an antidote for the draught of living death anywhere. But since death dies if you live, perhaps the elixir of dieing death?

Bonus: Who is R. A. B.?

Regulus Arcturus Black, the younger Death-Eater brother of Sirius Black.
