Maybe even during the whole summer vacation. It didn’t feel good in the pit of his stomach, too worried.
Gripping his own wand he instructed as he demonstrated on a soaking wet book. "The incantation is aquamarino and the wand movement is a circular motion and tap over the book." Leo wasn’t worried. Gemma could most effectively do her part if something needed to be done.
"So, in what state is the muggle studies classroom? Dust covered?"
Gemma studied the wand movement carefully and then practiced it once before trying out the incantation on a book that didn't seem to be too squishy. The book lit up in an aquamarine blue color and then just sat there...she raised her left eyebrow and walked over to it and picked it up. Dry as a dessert. She turned and winked at the librarian proudly and grabbed another book to work on.
"
Well my classroom, I cleaned up....but my seating area is a mess...I didn't realize it was such a mess until Erik came for a visit...It looked like habob had come into town..." she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
She glanced at the pile of books, "
How many books were affected?"
