So I guess... in some ways... this is a defensive spell." She hid a smile and waited for them to finish.
Anna perked up a bit at that. "Thanks, professor," she said. "This is a really useful spell." Anna was serious when she complimented the spell. Even before Anna heard of it's usefulness in Professor Rae's Auror days, she'd made a special note to remember it. Standing practically knee-high to a grasshopper, Anna always managed to buy robes and dresses that were far too long for her little legs.
She stood back and admired the way the spell had made a perfect hem on the dress robes. She smiled up at the professor, then patiently awaited the next part of the lesson.
Upon hearing Professor Rae's instruction, Anna made way to the charmed table. She approached a chair, allowed it to move away a bit from her, and then she stepped closer to the table. Before she could make her next move, the chair came crashing into the back of her legs, knocking her into it. Her eyes wide, she quickly looked around to make sure no one had seen that. At least it had knocked her into the correct sitting position.
