Few! It seemed like Ollie wasn't late to charms today, though it was a close call. As she walked up to the classroom, she noticed the crowd of students sat outside and the red notice on the door. Hmmm, this seemed like a fun activity! Ollie was excited as she watched her peers count to ten and head into the abyss. Prepping, she used her robe to clean her wand off, she had waxed it last night and didn't want it to be too slippery if she needed to see it. Finally, it was her turn to head in, she counted to 30 just to make sure no one would still be in front of her when she opened the door.
Okay, the professor wasn't joking. It was pitch black in here, even squinting her eyes she wasn't able to make anything out. She knew she wasn't allowed a light spell, but she still wanted to use magic. It wouldn't be fun if she didn't! She readied her wand and held one hand out in front of her as she began her journey to the desks. Everything seemed to be fine until her fingers had grazed something soft and squishy. Ollie placed the palm of her hand against it to make sure it wasn't breathing and readied her wand to cast a spell.
"Diminuendo!" She cast and slowly felt the item run down her hand. Great! Her spell had worked. She then felt around with her foot feeling the now much smaller object and kicked it with her foot to scoot it out of her way.
She repeated this a few more times before feeling, what she thought was, a desk. Ollie let out a sigh of relief when she sat down safely, glad that she made it through unscathed! |
