Marietta Edgecombe (possibly) 1995 She may have used a non verbal version of this spell during a DA meeting in 1995, although it was more likely to be the Extinguishing spell.[7]
Seamus Finnigan 1996-1997 school year He used this spell during class practice, but wasn't paying attention and accidentally shot a powerful stream that knocked Professor Flitwick away, causing him to write lines as detention.[5]
Harry Potter 1997 He used this charm to fill Albus Dumbledore's crystal goblet in the Crystal Cave, but the potion inside Dumbledore caused it to dry up before entering his mouth.[5]
Rubeus Hagrid

Practitioners

Etymology

In both Spanish and Portuguese, água means "water" and mente means "mind"; these derive from the Latin terms aqua ("water") and mens ("mind"), the latter's singular dative case rendered as menti ("to the mind" or "for the mind"). Given J.K. Rowling's love of puns, it would also seem plausible that there might have been a hybrid of água and "augment", in the sense of "increase", in her mind.
