 Charms Homework #2: Extra Credit 1 Jupiter's Satellite
Tora figured that this would be a good place to start her Charms homework. If she tried throwing things of hers within the range of the Whomping Willow's branches, then she would have to get the Carpe Retractum spell right if she wanted it back! So she stood out of range from the tree's branches and tossed her History of Magic textbook into the Danger Range. She didn't like History of Magic anyway, so if the book was "accidentally" torn up by the tree she had an excuse...right? Anyway, she still should get it back (if only because her fellow Ravenclaws would kill her for ruining a book). She focused and pointed her wand at the book, she was a tad surprised that the Willow hadn't done anything yet, and so shouted "CARPE RETRACTUM" at it (the book). A burst of golden orangey-yellow light twisted out of the tip of her wand and wound itself around the massive tree trunk. WAIT NO. That was most definitely NOT supposed to happen! Of course, the tree was far to heavy for her to pull up from the ground, so she started to get pulled towards the tree! No, no, no, no! She entered the Danger Range, dragging her feet and- THWACK- she dodged out of the way as a huge branch came crashing down. She didn't blame it. "FINITE!" she yelled, releasing herself from the spell and grabbing the book just in time to roll out of the way of another incoming branch. This piece of plant life was just as dangerous as anything in Greenhouse 4! She hightailed it out of there and RAN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE to finish the rest of her homework.
Geez. She really hated plants.
