A second later, she could not find any trace of the berry bush. It had disappeared! She grinned widely and returned it back to normal with a Finite.
The Slytherin had chosen to cast the charm on a bush, but that was fine. "Good job," Jared said, noting that she had gotten the spell right on the first try. Excellent, especially for a first year.

That matter always wondered him and he would very much appreciate an enlightening explanation.
"That depends upon the charms already in place," Jared said, the green gaze shifting to the Hufflepuff prefect. "In this case, it's okay." In this case. "Most objects produced in the wizarding are charmed, even before they reach us. These lanterns, for example. The flame inside is charmed not to burn or cause damage. That's part of the manufacturing process."

"To put it simply, most of the objects used by us are produced using - among other kinds of magic - charms, and that itself shows that, in general, it's okay to cast on an already charmed object. However, if an object had, say, a protective charm cast on it, casting another charm on it could cause trouble." In the end, it all came down to the charms already in place.
