A charm to make heavy objects lighter? That seemed like a particularly useful charm to Hope. She'd almost said 'a plough' when the teacher asked them to name a heavy object, but stopped herself just in time. A plough! Of all the stupid things to think of. No one else mentioned such a countrified object. She would have to watch herself if she didn't want to sound like a rube every time she opened her mouth.
And there were plenty of distractions going on around the classroom at the moment--objects floating and people arguing and then making up. Hope tried to concentrate on learning this new charm that she'd decided she quite liked. "Plu-MA-vis!" Even the swervy wand movement was a pleasure. Hope did it again and again, almost hypnotized by her own wand. Wingardium Leviosa she'd learned long ago, so she didn't bother practicing that. |
