Deciding to go up to the next floor to practice her spell some more, AJ extracted her wand from its holster. Where to cast, where to cast? As she looked around she noticed the portraits. The portraits at Hogwarts were super cool. They moved, and would talk to you and everything. The first time it had happened to her, she nearly jumped out of her jeans. You would think that somebody would have warned her or something.

"HIII," she shouted, in case they were sleeping or not paying attention to her or something. Even though the people were just paintings they could get cold right? Thinking that the answer was most likely yes, AJ decided to do them a big favor. "Caelum Saepio." Figure eight motion with her wand happened. No results. "Erm, this can sometimes happen." It always happened, but her portrait friends didn't need to know that. ""Caelum Saepio." AJ swooshed her wand, making the number eight. Fog!!! The lion fist bumped the closest portrait to her. "You're welcome." She dashed off.
