It's Really You (Newt Scamander x Reader)

Chapter 3: Charms and Potions

In response to the catcalls, Hobart tried to move in mid-air, and stared performing vigorous swimming movements, which produced no effect. Mistakenly believing that his clothes were making him heavier and impeding his movements, Hobart stripped thus making him fall ten feet onto the ground below, as it were the clothes that were holding him up in the air - they had been charmed by the Levitation Charm, not Hobart himself. He fell completely naked on the ground, breaking sixteen bones, and received a fine for "outrageous silliness" from the Chief Warlock.

Hobart returned home, humiliated, where he realised that his spell could make objects levitate for varying lengths of time, depending on the skill of the spellcaster and on the weight of the object. He also concluded that small animals or even children could be levitated, but that they had no control whatsoever of their movements once airborne. He thus made a second announcement, and an even larger crowd gathered to see his second demonstration of the spell (hoping for another laugh at his expence). Hobart's demonstration was, at first, by far more successful than the first one: he showed the onlooker how he could easily levitate objects ranging from small rocks to fallen trees. Hobart decided that, for a finale, he would levitate the Chief Warlock's hat - what he managed to levitate, however, was the Chief's wig, exposing his bald head to the gathering crowd. The Chief was not amused, and was determinate to duel Hobart, but the Warlock levitated Chiefs robes over his head, and ran for it.

The Levitation Charm appears to be an improvement on both the Levioso and Locomotor Spells and/or the Hower Charm, being able to lift objects high in to the air but also allowing one to magically move them through it as well. It also conveniently defies gravity by lifting objects heavier than a normal person would otherwise be able to carry.

Despite its strength, however, the Levitation Charm has one fatal flaw: it does not work on human beings. Though a human can be levitated using this charm, it is actually their clothing that is being affected. The charm is apparently not strong enough to allow a human to do anything more that float a few feet off the air using this method, and therefore does not allow the true flight afforded to most other objects.

In conclusion, almost anything can be lifted with this spell, although the object levitated depends on the skill of the caster and the weight of the object.

"Now, let's prepare with a swish and flick motion demonstrated here. Let's practice it together. Remember to swish to the right and flick your wand upward to lift the object."

For a few moments professor watched as everyone was practicing at waving their wands.

"Then we will say the spell, "Wingardium Leviosa!" Yes, it is a little difficult to say at first. It's Wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa, make the 'gar' nice and long. Lastly, remember to concentrate very hard. Clear your mind and focus and visualize the feather in front of you levitating in front of you. Good luck!"

All students stared saying the spell and waving their wands but nothing really happened.

You sighed and looked at the feather in front of you. Newt, on your left, was trying but did not successed.

"Wingardium Leviosa." You said and waved your wand with a swish and flick.

Suddenly you felt this weird connection with the feather that slowly started rising into the air. Shock and joy mixed in you. You were doing magic!

"Exelent! Exelent, miss?" Professor Flitwick cheered.

"Y/l/n." You quietly answered.

"How did you do that?" Newt asked you.
