Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Desiree acknowledged the professor’s nod with one of her own As she waited for the lesson to begin, she wondered if Halloween was Professor Ferigrund’s favorite holiday. For that matter, what was she going to be for Halloween this year? Probably something Disney-inspired as usual… though she could mix it up a bit with one of her favorite romantic heroines. She’d love to try her hand at sewing a Jane Eyre or Elizabeth Bennett dress, but wouldn’t those costumes look out of place without a Rochester or Darcy with her? Maybe she could dress her cat up…
She was jerked out of her costume plans by Professor Feirgrund’s voice, and she focused her attention on him as the lesson started. Ooh, the Featherlight charm. Not the Unsticking charm like she’d originally guessed, but still useful. So they wouldn’t see what was inside the boxes until after practicing? Now she was more curious about the boxes than ever! She considered the question, envisioning the many objects that were too heavy to lift. Her thoughts immediately turned to large pieces of furniture, and she smiled to herself at the memory of her muggle grandfather struggling to move an armoire.
She almost gave that answer, but Bryony’s question piqued her interest. If the spell could be used on people, that could be potentially useful in her future healer career. How else could the Featherlight charm be useful in healing? An idea occurred to her, and she raised her hand. “A large stone or boulder,” she said after being called on, “Say you were building something or trying to help an injured person or creature…”
