His growing worry about being near the lake subsided as they moved on, playing deaf to such maddening claims that there were Inferis on the water surface, or they were under an enchantment. Cedric, being his usual enthusiastic self, thought that learning a Disillusionment charm, even though simple, seemed the best way to completely eliminate his worry.

Taking his wand out of its holster, he was ready to cast Disillusiona on his lantern but, yet again, a thing made him wonder. "Professor Descoteaux, our lanterns are still under the magnification charm, I believe. In general, is it okay if we cast a charm upon an already charmed object?" That matter always wondered him and he would very much appreciate an enlightening explanation.
