A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Despite having his notebook and muggle pen at the ready, Dorian had not written any notes. The reason was because he already knew most of these charms. He had never used them before except for the aguamenti one, but he had read about them on multiple occasions.
So the Ravenclaw put his supplies back in his bag after the activity was announced and he put his hand in his robe to take out his acacia wand. He stood up from his place and walked over to one of the dummies, eyeing the pretty obvious injuries on it wondering which ones would be easiest , even for him, to heal. The wand movement was luckily easy to do, just a soft tap on the area.
Dorian walked around the dummy, looking for a place to use the episkey charm at first. He had decided to first treat the cuts and such and then the broken places as it would be difficult to find the cuts when they were covered in bandages.
Deciding on working on the dummy's right arm at first, the fourth year lifted up his wand, pointed it at one of the smaller cuts, moved it downwards and said; "Episkey" to his absolute surprise, the charm .....worked! Dorian watched as the small cut healed instantly with his mouth slightly open. He had not thought that it would work on the first time. Normally he had to practise a spell even after classes had finished and he was studying in the common room.
Feeling a massive burst of pride, Dorian looked around as if it say 'did you see that?!' but kept quiet. A small smile that was slowly getting bigger was forming on his lips as he searched for another injury. Had his practises paid off or had he FINALLY found something he was good at? Whichever it was, the Ravenclaw was in a good mood again.
