SCENE II

Enter ERNST and HANSCHEN.

ERNST: Today in Herbology class, professor Sprout came to me and she was watching me treating mandrake. Really annoying plant. So, professor came to me and praised me.

HANSCHEN: Great.

ERNST: Looks like your theory works. You´re amazing.

HANSCHEN: I think you are exaggerating. You have the biggest part in your success. And you have always been manually skilled.

ERNST: How´d you know?

HANSCHEN: I know a lot of things. Let´s train. What about Charms?

ERNST: Well, the last charm. I can´t get it.

MORITZ was attracted by the sound of the voices. He hides in shadows.

HANSCHEN: Immobilus? Good. So stand up. Remember, flick your wand and articulate properly. Wands aren´t deaf but nobody understands muttering even wands. And now try it.

ERNST: Imbilus!

HANSCHEN: What was that supposed to be? What have I told you about muttering?

ERNST: Sorry.

HANSCHEN: Put your wand down. Repeat after me.

ERNST and HANSCHEN: Immobilus, immobilus, immobilus.

HANSCHEN: And now, your turn.

ERNST: Immobilus!

HANSCHEN falls to the ground. He can´t move. The charm works. ERNST comes to him. He leans down to HANSCHEN and kisses him. Moment later the spell is broken. MORITZ disappears.
