Professor Culloden wasn't leaving and he even beamed at her, causing the girl to grin and get all bashful and 'alsjfdk!' Seriously, could she adopt him as an uncle or something? He'd make a great one. And she'd feed him and make him proud. She would!

Taking a few notes down - because this was interesting, the whole manipulating stuff - Beverly check-marked certain points. It was a wonder how one could use several - if not all - emotions to manipulate. She did have an example for the question asked. In fact, she had learned about it last term and even learned how to use it.

Raising her hand, she said, "I believe the Animalis Fidelis Charm is a spell that can be used to manipulate. Last term Professor Fuller used it on Professor Thompson and it worked." Maybe a little too much according to a certain paper floating around. "The charm builds a bond between the caster and the castee. It influences the latter to do whatever the former wants." Which led to a form of manipulation, yeah? "Professor Fuller said it was legal because it isn't harmful," she added. The bond went both ways, apparently.
