Lumos Spotifico (S1E13)

Lumos Spotifico is the thirteenth episode of the first season of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It aired on February 4, 2020.

## Synopsis

Professor Bovin opens up a chest, and out from the chest pours forth a strange, amorphous shadow. Blaine immediately ran away upon seeing this. She tells them that this shadow is a Boggart and that it will show them their greatest fear. Professor Bovin tells them to think about the Shade. She waves her wand, and the Boggart starts to move. Shadows elongate along the wall. Professor Bovin casts Lumos Spotifico, and an intense, focused spotlight emits from her wand, creating a cone of light. The shadows start to retract, and the Shade-Boggart backs off. Professor Bovin then begins to teach them the Lumos Spotifico spell. She tells them to run first, but if they have to fight, they should cast Lumos Spotifico. She explains that it’s similar to a Lumos spell, but instead of creating an uppercase A with the tip of their wand, they have to aim the tip of the A toward the object that they wish to illuminate. Alex offers to try first. Masie gives Alex a pep talk, but it distracts Alex instead, and his attempt to cast Lumos Spotifico fails and rebounds on him, making him dazed and exhausted. The Shade-Boggart creeps closer to Alex and its shadow starts to intermix with his shadow. Alex feels a cold sensation climbing up his body. It feels as if his body has been submerged in ice water. Alex starts to hear a voice whispering his name. Alex tries to cast Lumos Spotifico again. His wand illuminates accidentally shining light into Masie’s eyes, causing her to become dazed. The light fades a little bit, but there’s enough to cause the Shade-Boggart to retreat back into the chest. Alex feels a bit woozy. Professor Longbottom asks Professor Bovin if a Boggart is too much for first years. Professor Bovin says that they came to her. Alex sits down. Olive offers Alex some dented, smushed, slimy, and melted chocolate from her pocket. Professor Bovin asks who wants to go next. Masie is still recovering from having light shined right into her eyes. She sits down next to Alex. Olive asks Professor Bovin to repeat the spell. Professor Bovin opens the chest. The Boggart flies out and approaches Olive. Shaking, Olive casts Lumos Spotifico. The Boggart recoils and rushes back into the chest. Olive says it’s Masie’s turn. Masie worries that the Boggart might turn into something else that’s not the Shade. Alex asks if she’s seen something scarier than the Shade. Masie says she’s seen something scary in a different way. Olive tells her to just think about the Shade. Masie tries to think about the Shade. Professor Bovin positions Masie in front of the chest. She opens the chest, and the Boggart emerges. It looks like the Shade, but the Shade has the appearance of Masie’s mother. The Boggart reaches out toward Masie and says, “Masie? Don’t cast me away. Please. I need you, Masie.” Masie reaches out. As the Boggart starts to touch Masie’s shadow, wrapping around her legs, Masie feels like her legs have been submerged into ice water. Masie tries to hold her “mum’s” hand as if to try to help her step across a gap. Once their hands touch, Masie feels the ice cold run down her hand. Masie starts to shake. She can’t feel her fingertips anymore. Professor Bovin steps in, puts a hand across Masie’s torso, and casts Lumos Spotifico. The Shade retreats back into the chest. Professor Bovin starts to hug Masie, who is crying. Olive asks Masie if she wants a hug. Masie nods yes. Olive hugs. Masie says she thought her mum was trapped again like she was before, and they wouldn’t let her out again, and she thought her mum was gone again. Professor Bovin and Olive comfort Masie. Masie is shaking so much that once her knees bend to sit down, she just collapses onto the bench. Olive asks Professor Bovin if she has any chocolate for Masie. Professor Longbottom gives Masie chocolate. Eating the chocolate clears Masie’s mind, and she realizes that everyone is looking at her with worried expressions. She apologizes to everyone and feels embarrassed. Professor Bovin reminds them again that if they encounter the Shade again, they should run if they can. Olive asks if they can bring Masie back to the common room. Professor Bovin says that they should probably bring her to Madam Pomfrey first. Professor Bovin says that she will look after the key and give it to Headmistress McGonagall. Alex takes Masie to the hospital wing while Olive stays behind to ask the professors to help her enchant some drawings on a get well soon card for Masie. They agree to help her. Olive pulls out a piece of parchment and quill and draws the SWOFF members holding hands, a heart, a lump of pocket mash, and a Niffler that looks like an ink stain with a tail. Olive asks the professor to enchant the drawing so that the Niffler is running, Masie is smiling, and everyone is happy and holding hands. Professor Bovin waves her wand, and the drawing starts to move. Olive thanks her and asks if she wants to sign the card. Olive looks for anyone from SWOFF or classmates to get more signatures for the card. Olive manages to get tons of signatures. Olive rushes to the hospital wing.

Meanwhile, Alex and Masie arrive at the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey gives both of them food and water and then leaves them alone. Alex and Masie talk about the Boggart. Masie tells Alex that her mum used to work at the Ministry, but not anymore. She tells Alex about Fwoopers, which are creatures that are restricted because of their song. Masie pulls out her pink quill and tells Alex that the feather is from a Fwooper. She tells Alex that Fwooper songs are dangerous; if you hear a Fwooper sing, it does things to your brain, so Fwoopers are supposed to be silenced with a Silencing Charm. She says her mum thought Fwoopers shouldn’t be silenced, so she listened to her Fwooper a lot, which damaged her brain, and she spent a lot of time in the hospital four years ago. Masie thought she was going to lose her mum forever. Masie says that it was scary to see her mum trapped and alone. She says that her mum is safe now though, although a little bit nuts. Alex realizes this was why Masie had a hard time telling everyone a secret the other day. Masie gives Alex a hug. Alex hugs back. Olive arrives and rushes to Masie and Alex. Olive tells Masie that when she was little, she would paint and draw with her parents and then her dad would enchant the drawings so that whenever her mum was gone, they would come to life and keep Olive company. Olive then gives Masie the get well soon card she made. Masie laughs at the bean sandwich, and is shocked that there are so many signatures. Masie pulls out her quill and writes Alex’s name on it so that the card is for her and Alex. Olive hugs Alex, getting hair in his face. Masie puts her hair on Alex, pretending that her hair is Alex’s hair. Alex remembers that they’ll be making a hair-colour potion in class later. Alex thinks about changing his hair to red. They decide that they need to have a SWOFF meeting about what color to change their hair. Alex remembers that he should say sorry to Clem. Masie asks why. Alex tells her how he got upset at Clem the day before. Olive and Masie say that it will be okay. They hope to find Clem and Rosie at dinner later. Masie worries that the hospital wing is becoming their common room. Olive suggests carving their initials into the beds. Alex says that they might get into trouble. Alex says maybe they could wait on carving. He suggests maybe somewhere in Hogsmeade instead. Olive wonders what’s in Hogsmeade. Masie says Butterbeer. Masie thank Alex and Olive for helping her feel better. Olive grabs Masie and Alex’s hands. Masie grabs Alex’s hand and then realizes that will make walking difficult. Madam Pomfrey checks on them, and they tell her that they’re feeling better. They leave for dinner.

Meanwhile, Rosie is already eating dinner in the Great Hall after having spent the day sneaking into the Hogwarts kitchens and making a fresh batch of cookies for her friends in the Hogwarts kitchens. Rosie opens her robes to check her Snapdragon, which she had potted and placed into a pocket in her robes, planning to open her robes to give her Snapdragon its 10 minutes of sunlight a day. Clem arrives and sees Rosie eating. Rosie shows Clem the pocket she sewed for her Snapdragon. Clem asks if Rosie named her Snapdragon. Rosie says she named it Parsnip because she thinks that when it’s a dragon, it will snip. Clem looks for pickles and cheddar cheese on the table. Rosie offers her some cookies. Clem eats some of Rosie’s cookies. Clem tells Rosie that Alex was mean and that they had a fight. Rosie asks if Alex was upset, because when she’s upset, she sometimes blows up and then has to eat a lot of snacks. Clem says that if he wants to talk about it, he can bring it up, but she’s not going to bring it up. Clem pouts. Rosie offers to help Clem smooth things out with Alex. Clem crosses her arms and says that she can if she wants. Rosie offers to get pickles and cheddar cheese from the kitchens for Clem. Clem says yes please. Rosie tells Clem not to get into a fight with Alex. Clem says she’s not promising anything. Rosie gives Clem another cookie and rushes off to the kitchens. Olive, Masie, and Alex arrive at the Great Hall. Masie prompts Alex, who apologizes to Clem. Clem apologizes to Alex. Rosie returns with the pickles and cheddar cheese. Clem immediately takes them. Rosie asks Alex if Clem was nice to her. Alex says yes. Rosie passes out the cookies she made for everyone. Clem gives Alex a hug and then awkwardly punches him.

As they eat dinner, Alex brings up the hair-colour potion and asks if they want to decide on a team hair color. Rosie likes the idea, but worries that it won’t go according to plan like the last time she messed up a hair spell (and made her hair short). Clem asks if they have to snip their Snapdragon to make the potion. Rosie panics at the thought of having to cut Parsnip, her Snapdragon. The thought of Parsnip dying greatly upsets her. Olive tries to calm her down by explaining that they just need a little bit of Parsnip for the potion. Rosie compares it to taking a hair from Olive. Olive says yes, Rosie took one of her hairs, but she’s still alive. Rosie is comforted by this. Clem thinks she remembers that they need to use every bit of the plant to make the potion. Clem tells them that they shouldn’t lie to Rosie. Rosie asks if Olive lied to her. Olive says she didn’t lie - she didn’t know. Rosie gets upset again, and they do their best to comfort her. Alex says that they should discuss the Shade. Masie goes white. Rosie touches everyone’s face to see if they’re okay, accidentally getting pocket mash all over them. Alex tells them that they don’t have the key anymore. Olive tells them that Professor Bovin wrapped it in a cloth of warding. Clem asks if they got in trouble. Olive says no, but they did tell Professor Longbottom, who told Professor Bovin. Clem reacts when she hears Professor Longbottom’s name. Rosie asks Clem if she has a crush on Professor Longbottom. Clem denies this and says that he was just really nice to her. Rosie mentions the age difference between Clem and Professor Longbottom. Clem mentions the age difference between the ghost boy and Olive. Rosie asks if they’re going to steal the key back. Olive says she doesn’t know what to do anymore. Rosie suggests using the Niffler to help steal the key back. Olive and Alex disagree with that idea. Clem gets upset that their secret SWOFF business was revealed to the professors. Rosie continues to tease Clem about her crush on Professor Longbottom. Rosie asks if Clem has a crush on her. Clem says no. Olive and Alex say that the headmistress also knows about the key. Olive says they can still investigate, but they have to be very stealthy about it. Rosie asks what the cloth of warding does. Rosie says they should steal the key back. Olive says that if they steal the key back, they have to know what they’re going to do with the key right away because even if they’re super sneaky, the adults will notice that it’s missing. Olive says that they should let the professors handle the key and they should investigate other things in the meantime. Masie doesn’t want to steal the key. Clem laments that the key was their biggest lead. Alex suggests looking at the different places that they’ve seen the ghost and marking it on a map. Rosie pulls out a parchment to start writing. Clem asks how they’re going to continue investigating if the professors know. Clem says they might get expelled. Rosie proposes a new plan: dressing Olive up in a very nice dress, making a candlelit meal, and lure the ghost boy in for a date. Olive asks how they’re going to tell the ghost about the date. Clem says Olive could talk about Dark Creatures and maybe that would lure the ghost boy out. Alex suggests doing it near the greenhouses. Olive recounts where the ghost boy took her the first night she encountered him. Clem and Rosie remark how romantic that sounds. Olive puts her face into her hands out of embarrassment. Olive reveals that she was compelled by the ghost boy to jump out the library window. Masie is extremely alarmed by this news. Rosie writes a note to ask her dads if love is like being possessed. Olive suggests going to the library and waiting with the book that the ghost boy had her get last time. She suggests that one person go with her to the library and the others go to the greenhouses. Masie suggests asking Professor Longbottomto help. Alex asks why they told Professor Longbottom. Olive explains that Professor Longbottom asked students to come forward if they knew anything about the plants that were dying in the greenhouses. Clem offers to talk to Professor Longbottom. Masie tells them what happened with the key and Professor Longbottom. Masie says she wants to make sure the ghost is okay and solve the mystery, but she doesn’t want anyone else to get hurt. Alex asks if they told Professor Longbottom about SWOFF. Olive and Masie shake their heads. Olive says that Professor Longbottom kept saying that first years were too young, so she doesn’t think he will let them investigate. Alex says they shouldn’t talk to Professor Longbottom because he will tell Headmistress McGonagall. Clem says they should solve the mystery on their own and then they’ll realize that they’re capable. Masie says they could get expelled for investigating after they were told not to or end up in the hospital because of the Shade. Clem suddenly wonders if the ghost boy is mean because he made Olive jump out of a window. Olive says that if they tell an adult, the adults won’t let them solve the mystery. Masie says that might be a good thing. Alex says he wants to solve the mystery. Clem says maybe they should go to their classes and do well so they can become good wizards. She worries about being expelled, not being able to come back to Hogwarts, and losing SWOFF. Rosie suggests that the people who are worried about getting in trouble can go to talk to Professor Longbottom and those who want to try to catch the ghost can go to the library. Masie asks where Blaine and Jacinth are. Rosie says they’re probably focused on schoolwork. Masie thinks that SWOFF should stick together. They decide to go to the greenhouses. Clem asks what time curfew is. They remember that curfew is at 10:00pm and they see that the time is now 6:30pm. Alex says that if anyone asks, they’re going to check how the plants are potted so that when they plant their Snapdragons, they’ll do it properly. They walk out of the Great Hall and cross the Viaduct in the dark. Masie tries to cast Lumos, but her spell backfires and blinds herself with the light. Alex casts Lumos. They head toward the East Wing and arrive at the greenhouses. Outside the greenhouses, they see Mrs. Nanny Buckland watering plants and trying to still care for the dying plants. Alex says they could offer to help Mrs. Nanny Buckland. Rosie suggests that they say that Professor Longbottom was nice to them, so they want to do something nice for him. As Rosie approaches Mrs. Nanny Buckland, she sees Professor Longbottom approaching Mrs. Nanny Buckland. Rosie skirts around, looks back at the rest, and mouths, “What do I do?” They go back and forth about whether to advance or retreat, and Clem decides to walk straight up to Professor Longbottom. Clem hears Mrs. Nanny Buckland say that Headmistress McGonagall said that they would be setting up some spells to catch the Shade or any other outside interference. Clem asks Professor Longbottom and Mrs. Nanny Buckland if she and her friends could help take care of the greenhouses. Mrs. Nanny Buckland says yes. Professor Longbottom starts to leave. Clem asks if he’s leaving. He says that he has to get some supplies for class. Rosie asks if she has to destroy her plant to put it in the potion. Professor Longbottom says she just needs some clippings from the plant. They begin to help Mrs. Nanny Buckland around the greenhouses. Alex keeps looking around as he helps. Clem periodically meditates on the idea of the ghost boy coming to visit. Rosie sees Masie struggling and gives her chocolate, making her feel better. Rosie also helps Masie put her gloves on. Masie pulls two cookies from Rosie’s pocket and feeds them to Rosie. Rosie offers Masie the last bit of the cookies. Masie hesitates but then quickly eats it out of her hand before Rosie can get upset. Rosie asks Masie to reconsider giving her hair. Rosie says she helps Mrs. Nanny Buckland all the time. Clem asks if Rosie has a crush on Mrs. Nanny Buckland. Rosie says no. Rosie starts writing a letter to Mrs. Nanny Buckland and then suddenly realizes that she should be doing something. Mrs. Nanny Buckland reminds Rosie that she asked them to help put the fertilizer into the pots as Professor Longbottom suggested. Olive tries to help, but she doesn’t have gloves ,so she’s trying to be careful about what she touches. She passes things to Rosie. She also tries to remember the tune she heard when she encountered the ghost boy, humming it to herself to see if it connects to anything. As Olive hums the melody, the plants begin to react. They start to grow. Alex realizes that these are the same plants he encountered in his first class of Herbology.
