"Go ahead and try it out on your lanterns. And," he added, before any of the students could start getting ideas. "No one is going to cast the Disillusionment Charm on themselves and then move away from their hay bale." They could cast it on themselves.

"If anyone does so -" And he would know if someone did - "That's fifty points from their house and a week's worth of detention."

Emily actually walked as far away from the forest as possible, then set down her lantern. She was not going back in there any time soon.

Right. Concentration and focus. She seemed to have plenty of that when it came to Charms.
She took her wand and tapped it twice. 'Focus. Empty your mind' she told herself. She closed her eyes.
"Disillusiona!" and with that her lantern vanished.

She smiled to herself in triumph. She had got past the stage of getting excited when she cast a charm first time by now, but she was still happy.
She pretened to blow the tip of her wand like a gun and with a quick "Finite" picked up her lantern again. She wanted to carry this all the way back to her common room.
