(no subject)
Now that everyone is done celebrating boorish feats of strength, I was wondering if I could get 5-10 volunteers to help me test a new spell that I've been working on. It's a very simple security spell, and I can guarantee with 82% certainty that you won't get hurt if you agree to be a subject. It's not intended to be harmful, we'll put it that way. (You might, however, experience residual tingling in the extremities, and possibly loosened bowels. I'm still working out the kinks.
For liability reasons, I'll only take volunteers third year and up (I would say fifth and up, but, well, I wouldn't want to exclude anyone my age). My name is Billy Harris, Slytherin 5th year, and if you leave your name, house, and year I will contact you within the next few days to sort out the experiment.

I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but if it works well enough then at least one of the test subjects might be so affected that they don't want to tell me what's written on it.

There are spells that make words unreadable to others besides the spell casters, spells that change the words into nonsense unless the person reading the scroll says the proper password. Much easier then attempting spell casting, and less possible negative side effects.

Obviously, it would also have to be laden with anti-destruction charms in order to keep it intact, although hopefully the spell doesn't go so far as to make the reader get violent over what it projects onto the paper.

It sounds like you're edging into dark magic, as well. So not only are you obsessing over something that doesn't need to be done, but you're doing things that can be seen as purposefully malicious and dark.
