Olly was a bit confused about what was going on. His bag was up at the front of the room as per instructions, which was weird because he always had it with him in class. Why were they supposed to put all their stuff at the front? But he did have his wand, which was good at least. He supposed it did make sense that all they needed was their wand. This was Hogwarts after all.

That day had been going pretty well. Olly was sitting on the floor and actually heard all the words that professor Primeaux was saying. He did usually feel safe, but the affirmation of that safety followed by that ominous question was a little suspicious to him. Something carrying dangerous gases? "I'd run away." Wait, the question had specifically asked what spell they would use. Right. Magical school and all. "What about a banishing spell? I'd just want to make it go away and that might work."
