This had to be some sort of violation of free will, Lex was sure of it. She could get Felix to follow her around and get stuff for her without having to use magic but then she could see where they were coming from with this...if they were looking for something that wouldn't completely eat away at their time. Gaining animal loyalty didn't happen in a day. Alexa could still remember the first few months with Felix, he didn't do a thing she told him to and he was always trying to run away.

Once she'd gotten her eyeful of the puffskeins, she drew her wand to begin the practising.

"Ani-ma-lis Fi-de-lis.....A-ni-mal-is Fid-e-lis...." Now she could see the joint aspect of this class. All this incantation practising was typical of a regular Charms lesson. "Animalis Fidelis....Animalis Fidelis..."

Good thing she'd never have to cast this on her kneazle. He didn't like having wands pointed at him and she didn't like wandhandling him either.
