"You are most welcome. " Yes he had seen the amazement in her eyes as he did his wandless magic, that was what he had been going for. His Slytherin pride puffed up for a moment, until it came crashing back down when she said she had a question to ask him.
"Yes Miss Holden? " He asked her as he raised an eyebrow.
Ahhhh, she wanted to know how to do it?
Merlin! Now he might actually have to tell her that he didn't know much wandless Magic..
Ehh, what she didn't know cousins hurt her right?
"It takes a lot of concentration, and it's not easy, I will tell you that. " He should know.. he only had three spells that consistently worked, he could hold out his hand and think Incendio and he'd be lucky to get a spark.. Magic was amazing like that though.. it was a never ending learning process and one could always get better.
"Yes of course there are books on it, and I can find some for you, however I would talk to Peofessor Hirsch or Professor Marchand about it as well. They would probably know some practical knowledge on the subject. "
"
Do you like Hogwarts so far?" she asked raising an eyebrow as she hoped that he was enjoying Hogwarts.
She nodded, listening to Mr. Kennedy speak about the art of wandless magic. "
I'm sure. Non-verbal is hard," she said, nodding. She had only once been able to cast finite in her mind in a duel against Etta last year; however, she hadn't been able to cast the spell without a wand since then. Maybe something was blocking her? Or maybe she was just luckily and in the right zone to cast such a spell. It was strange. Trying to cast a spell without a wand seemed nearly impossible but she wanted to learn. Olivia was determined.
"
If you could help me find some books on that, that would be great," she said with a nod. Then she pulled out a notebook and jotted down both Hirsch and Marchand's names on it. She knew Marchand well as he had been a former Beauxbatons Professor and she knew Hirsch fairly well because she had been a member of the dueling club last year. "
I'll definetly go speak to them. When did you learn how to cast spells without a wand?"
