Miss Granger? I'm sorry, I only have a few minutes of clear thought. Whatever you have to test your theory, if it harms none, use it. Illusion, warding, levitation, do it. It's one of the things that... hang on.

Memories are slippery things. Focus on the ones that fit best.
The only problem there is the fact the spells are in Latin. When I try to think more about them is when I, well, slip you could say. If I knew what they did I'd be less apprehensive to try and it seems I haven't written down what the spells I remember do. There must be something somewhere.
I've written quite a lot, it seems, but most of the spells I hadn't. Not yet, anyway, the journals are long and very thorough. Considering when they were written I'd hardly the time to do so.
I couldn't burden you with something like this, it's difficult enough to keep our heads as is. I have my wand and it does cast when I pick it up, that's... That's enough for me.

So, you hadn't written a personal grimoire yet. Or if you had, you hid it well from yourself.

Okay, my Greek is stronger than my Latin, but if I can keep my head together, maybe I can help decipher some of it?

Yes. Keeping our heads. I do want to talk later, if this clears up, and we remember.
