SPOILER!!: Charlie ^_^

Heath returned Charlie’s smile with a small one of his own, relieved that she’d accepted his offer. In order to get the ball rolling on the activity, he jotted down the idea he already had: requirement for an acting role. Before he could explain his point, Peralta said it was time to move on. What, already? They hadn’t even started yet! He tried to block out his worries of failing the last activity and focus on the directions for the next one.

Oh, a night vision spell? Now that sounded useful! Maybe learning this spell would help him overcome his newfound fear of darkness. He could only hope! Hanging on to Peralta’s every word, he took careful notes on the spell’s incantation and wand work. He was so absorbed in the task at hand that he almost didn’t register Charlie’s question. “Oh!” he said, jerked out of his thoughts. “Sure, that would be good.” Maybe having a partner would make him less nervous about the darkness.

That thought had barely popped into his mind when the lights went out. Usually Heath would practice the incantation and wand movements of a new spell separately first, but he wanted to get this done before the darkness and the memories of The Room it brought made it impossible to think straight! Taking a deep breath to calm his rising anxiety, he drew a clockwise circle with his wand around his right eye, then his left. “Visionem Nocte!” Did it work? He blinked, glancing around the room, and he saw Charlie and the various obstacles, all tinted in a green glow. He did it, thank Merlin!

“I’ll get a mouse,” he said. “Do you want your own or-?” If she did, he’d let her pick hers herself. Making his way to the front of the room, he picked a basket at random. He didn’t open it until he’d returned to his place, but when he lifted the lid, he smiled. Inside was a little blue mouse with a silver star pattern. If he didn’t know better, he’d think that mouse was put there just for him! “I’m going to let it go now,” he said to give Charlie a heads-up before setting the mouse on the floor.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

He watched it as it skittered away, weaving between the desks. Keeping a close eye out for the star pattern, he took off after the mouse.

She hated not getting a partner. It was absolutely awkward when you didn't get picked. "Oh that'd be great Heath, thanks." She meant it. She had gone to open her mouth to get to work on their question to work on in pairs but she was too slow and class was moving forward. "Oh, want to stay close for this next part if we can?" She supposed the mouse would determine if they would be able to help each eachother. Oh the lights were out.
