"Maybe I could just... try it on some laugh lines. Can't hurt, right?" Mo patted along his cheek to see what was happening with his face, his shoulders sagging in disappointment when he found that the wrinkles were still there. Horrible. He pointed the wand at his face again, this time putting a lot more intent behind the spell. "Frontis Allevatus."
That had to be better, right? "Tell me they're gone, please. Lie if you have to."
When Marcus didn't even answer her question, Justine immediately began to worry. If she didn't have wrinkles he wouldn't have mentioned anything before, and he certainly wouldn't be silent now. The French girl wanted very much to grab the hand mirror and check her reflection, but she didn't want to freak out amidst her follow students.
"Yes, laugh lines, zat might be easier," Justine said distractedly, her hand reaching up to her face, she felt her smooth cheeks, her unwrinkled chin and forehead, she didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, maybe she had been mistaken.
"No, no, it's good now," Justine said, nodding in approval as the spell worked its magic and stuck this time. "You've got it, and I promise I'm not lying," Justine said, with a small laugh.
