The Sneezing Hex
After listening to Professor Risa’s lecture, Andrew was eager to give the Sneezing Hex a try. Until he could cast the hex one time successfully, Andrew reasoned it wouldn’t make much sense for him to practice on himself, since observing the spell’s effects on another person would likely be more beneficial to his knowledge. Fortunately, he paired with a fellow student who, likewise, didn’t mind being a guinea pig at the mercy of another’s wand, for today’s lesson.
Andrew was willing to cast the spell first. After reciting the incantation a few times in his head, and practicing the wand movement separately, he then distanced himself a few feet, facing his partner.
Andrew pulled out his wand from his robes, readying his stance. “Steleus!” (“STÉ-lee-us”) He said in a commanding tone, while simultaneously flicking the tip of his wand in a downward motion, pointing outward towards his partner.
Green rings came forth from the tip of Andrew’s wand, hitting his partner in the face. Andrew could only watch as his partner began to sneeze repeatedly without ceasing. Andrew couldn’t help but giggle at the amusing sight, although his expression was slightly abashed, in partial sympathy towards his partner’s discomfort.
“Are you alright?” Andrew asked, as the sneezing effect wore off and his partner regained their composure. Once his partner had recovered, the two of them switched places.
Andrew braced himself for impact as a puff of green rings hit him in the face, forcing him to sneeze. Over and over again. No amount of mental effort could resist him from doing so. He feared what might happen if he tried to pinch his nose shut with his fingers, to plug the sneeze from escaping. He’d probably end up blowing his brains through his ears…
In the end, whatever discomfort he experienced was quickly forgotten, once those brief few seconds had lapsed and the hex wore off. Andrew waited in anticipation for the professor’s evaluation regarding his performance.

The Sneezing Hex
[font=book antique][/font]
River entered the History of Magic class room hastily, as she was nearly running late. Luckily, the class didn’t seem to have started yet, as she slowed to a halt, next to a slytherin boy with dark brown hair.
Extra classes was something River was always interested in attending. She wanted to learn as much as she possibly could during her time at hogwarts. Usually, what was taught in the classes would often come in very handy later.
Steleus, that was a spell River was familiar with, after skimming through books upon books about hexes and other spells. A slight smile crept up on her face as she listened to the professor explain the spell. It seemed like an easy task, but usually, it would be harder than one might imagine to actually cast. Still, River was determined to manage it.
After they were instructed to pair up and attempt the spell, River turned to the boy next to her. «Want to team up?», she asked. The boy turned to look at her, «Sure, why not», he answered, and shrugged his shoulders.
«Great, I’ll go first then, if that’s okay?», River said, and took a few steps back. Without waiting for him to say anything, she aimed her wand, and attempted the spell. «Steleus! (STE-lee-us)», she moved her wand in a downward flick, out towards the boy. River had absolutely not expected to get in on the first try, as spells usually didn’t click too well with her. Still, green rings appeared, moving out toward the slytherin. Apparently, her focus was in the right place today and her previous reading of the hex might have made it easier. As the rings hit him, he instantly begun sneezing. A smile appeared on River’s face, «You alright?», she asked, as he stopped sneezing. He nodded back, without saying a word, he aimed his wand for her, and River expected it was her turn to sneeze.
