1977. Younger muggleborns laughingly answering ‘Abracadabra’ when asked by teachers if they know how a spell works. Purebloods screaming and ducking under tables because they misheard and this 12 year old is trying to use the killing curse on me.
I think this might be the best one
But actually the muggleborns are doing the exact opposite. Because both abracadabra and Avada Kedavra come from Aramaic
abracadabra=אברא כדברי=I will create as my words
Avada Kedavra=אבדה כדברי=It will be destroyed as my words
And so when the muggleborns say it a flower blooms from the empty pot filled with dirt that no one’s watered for ages or an old teddy bear comes to life-because they’re creating AS THEIR WORDS
Just don’t joke with hocus pocus ‘cause any nearby bread will turn into hunks of flesh.
