Peony decided to try the Levitating charm on an inanimate object. She wasn't too sure if either of her pets would appreciate being lifted into the air. Grimwald especially might make things difficult if she 'accidentally' forgot the counter-spell. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Peony said, lazily, flicking her wand. Luckily it was an easy spell, and her quill rose steadily into the air. As the charms got progressively harder, Peony's cavalier attitude didn't help her.
"Accio," she said, pointing at the book. It shuffled over slightly, then fell down dead, like someone had shot it.
Peony frowned.
"Accio," she said again. The book sort of shook itself about as if saying: I've heard that line before, buster.
Anger spurted through Peony. "ACCIOyoustupidthing!" Since the last three words added were impromptu, and not very polite, the book didn't even bother. Peony looked around, hoping no-one witnessed her discomfort, and worked on reaiming her anger.
"ACCIO!" As if resisting was finally too much trouble, the book, which would have sighed if books can sigh, zoomed over. Peony caught it in her hand as it did, the first cool moment of her class.
