"Scourgify!" Haddie yelled with a giggle and a wave of the wand. Then she frowned. The spider web was still there. She tried again, with a bit more determination. "Scourgify!" And again. "Scourgify!" And again. "Scourgify!"
"I did it!" she cheered. She cast her first spell and it worked and ---
SPLAT! Deja vu? What the heck? Someone was yelling food fight and tossing mashed potatoes and tomato sauce and Haddie excitedly reached for a pile of mashed potatoes before realizing this was the library, not the Great Hall and Mr. Kitridge was too close for comfort. Not to mention her attacker seemed to be a ghost.
She pulled her hand away from the mashed potato pile with a sheepish glance at Kitridge, and stood instead, drawing her wand. She knew one spell, exactly. It had worked on the spider web, but she would it work on a ghost? She had enough doubt to come up with a slightly better idea.
She aimed the wand at the ghost, or rather more accurately, centered on the piles of food in his arms. If it didn't work on the ghost maybe it would work on the food? "Scourgify!"
