And although hanging from a wall looked incredibly cool, it would not be fun to hang there only partially stuck. Of course she would be able to feel if she was securely fastened to the wall before Sarah pulled the desk away, right? And then if she wasn't she'd just tell Sarah to wait.
"You can do it, Sarah," the Ravenclaw girl told her Hufflepuff friend, as she took a deep breath and squinted her eyes shut in anticipation. Standing completely still as Sarah performed the charm twice to complete the task, Mariel slowly opened her eyes as she was sure the girl was finished. She opened her mouth to tell Sarah to wait until she made sure she was completely fastened to the wall before she pushed the desk away, but as she was trying to wiggle her limbs to see if there was any sign of looseness, Sarah had already begun to push the desk away.
"Wait - ," she started, a teensy bit of panic in her voice. But as the desk slid away from her, the brunette realized she was securely fastened to the wall. Beaming at her friend, she tried unsuccessfully to give her a thumbs up, and said, "Well done," and waited for her to put the desk back to unstick her. She giggled slightly at the sensation of hanging on the wall. This was fun and could see why the two professors were having such a good time at it earlier.
Feeling the desk back under her feet as Sarah pushed it back, Mariel patiently waited to be unstuck. After Sarah performed that spell, Mariel wiggled her fingers free and stepped back away from the wall. Climbing down from the desk, she turned to Sarah with a grin and said, "Okay, you're next, hop up there."
Still grinning at her accomplishment (this was a big deal to her..getting something right),Sarah moved to the side to allow Mariel enough room to climb down from the table.
"OK,no problem.You trusted me..I trust you." Smiling at her friend,she pulled a chair over so she could stand on it to get on the table.Being short had many disadvantages.Hitching up her robes,she leant on the desk to stand on the chair,from there it was onto the desk itself.
Smoothing herself down she placed her back against the wall and tried to stay as still as she could.
"Go for it!"
