 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Brandon always looked a bit haunted, as though something was perpetually bothering him- and he looked like that today. Whether he was more or less haunted-looking was debatable, but in any case, he felt like his classmates' answers had been sufficient to explain how he felt.
He fidgeted with his wand a little when Professor Khanna said that he seemed ready to try the spell. "Theoretically, I guess. I want to try it nonverbally. But... we'll see." He ruffled his hair, feeling troubled. Were they going to be using the dummies again? Despite their usefulness, Brandon felt a strong aversion to practicing any spellwork on human-shaped things. He usually ended up starting to imagine the dummy as someone he either really liked or really despised, and both scenarios made him deeply uncomfortable. Flipendo was okay, though... probably. It wasn't particularly lethal or cruel, so if anything, practicing flipendo was good because then he wouldn't need to rely on 'worse' spells. He tried to think of it that way. |
