Cooper had at one point been curiour as to where or not nonna's claims had any validity, performing a bit of research on his own to see what sort of real medical research had been done on the benefits of olive oil. As it turned out, there had been some and thus he had stopped resisting a spoonful when offered. Thoughts and reflections that were not helpful given the current parameters of the lesson, so the seventh year tucked them away for another day and another letter home.
For now, practicing. He was fairly familiar with all the charms on the day, though mostly in observation and very little practical application. Laying his left arm on the desk to act as his object in need of treatment. First up was the Bandaging Charm, the movement easy enough to practice with a little down, up, and down again movement from his quill. It felt more natural to have something in his hand rather than use his finger. "Ferula," he spoke softly to himself, giving both movement and incantation another go before feeling satisfied with this level of practice and moved on to the next.
While the Bandaging Charm was one he had seen performed numerous times in over the summer while working alongside Derfael and Monsieur Benoit, Vulnera Sanentur was one that he had only seen performed in the immediate aftermath of the war. Something that brought a moment of reflective pause before he began softly muttering the incantation to himself. "Vulnera Sanentur..." he whispered over his imaginary wound. "...Vulnera Sanentur..." The feather end of his quill tickling his arm, Cooper paused his practice and looked around the classroom a bit. Mamie seemed...a little under the weather, so to speak, but he didn't let his gaze linger too much - but there was a little lingering smile before he did look back at his arm and quill...though instead of more practice he simply tickled his arm with his quill.
