 Mischievous Niffler
The professor was right - she WAS actually pretty talented with spellcasting, so it was logical that her answer would surprise him. "I didn't mean that I am usually scared, sir," Kitty replied. "In fact I'm usually quite confident when casting a spell, I was mostly referring to how I was when I first came to Hogwarts. Back then I was terrified of a spell backfiring. Not anymore though, but I still remember how it was." Her answer was mainly for first years who might feel the same.
Fianto Duri sounded very familiar to Kitty, she must have read it in one of the books on the history of magic from the library. She couldn't recall exactly what it did, but judging from others answers, she had a good idea. She raised her hand. "Fianto Duri helps to reinforce spells and enchantments that have already been cast. Theoretically it could come in useful during a duel to reinforce shield charms, and probably also could be performed to strengthen the enchantment blocking Hogwarts from Muggle eyes." |
