Hm.. where did that come from?
Annabeth grinned at the teacher. Professor Glendower had not asked anything about the beach ball, then she supposed it was okay to play with that ball - and casting spells during History of Magic lesson.
Although Anna had thought it was boring to wear those ridiculous beach outfits, the sand and the warmth made her change her mind and she thought it could be fun. The girl picked up the transfigured gobstone into a beach ball and examined it carefully. It wasn't heavy enough to contain any stinky fluid into it. After shaking the ball and not hearing any noise coming from inside, she was sure the Transfiguration had worked. Relieved, she grinned and looked around.
"Does somebody want to play? I have a beach ball!" and I'm a defenseless girl waiting for a dragon to attack me, she added in her thoughts. She looked expectantly at Mo and then at the sand under her feet. She wasn't supposed to look at the dragon before it would attack the muggles, right? Anna began bouncing the ball to avoid looking at Mo again.
