As the professor greeted the remaining students, Avalon examined her box more carefully. She was tempted to pick it up and shake it to see what was inside. But a glance at the blackboard, followed by Professor Fuller-Thompson's introduction, told her that the box had something to do with anti-theft magic.
Another topic with which she wasn't terribly familiar. She had heard her dad discussing it in regard to his job with the ministry, but she only remembered bits and pieces. She tentatively raised her hand. "I don't know any of the specific spells, but I think that a lot of anti-theft magic prevents things from being summoned." She felt slightly ashamed that she couldn't recall at lease one anti-theft charm. Retrieving her quill, she scribbled the date and title of the lesson on a piece of parchment in the mean time.
