The smile that Harvey had on his face disappeared completely, the guy had worried her.. he shook his head with concern in his eyes now as he saw her eyes go wide. He saw the pinky come out and he without hesitating linked his with hers, and then instantly hugged her "I am sorry for worrying you Ella. I promise I wont ever go away. You cant get rid of me that easily, you are stuck with a guy named Harvey Watson." his heart was beating so fast, and butterflies were there again. He continued to hold onto her he didnt want to let go "I promise.. I do Ella.. I really do" he said once again voicing his promise to never leave her. He couldn't believe that he had worried her like that, he would have to watch what he said from now on especially when it came to things like that. He then finally did let her go though he could have held her for a long time if he wanted to and gave a small smile, he wanted to punch himself right then and there, if there was someone around he would have told them to do it.

He couldnt help but smile as she looked down at the floor not saying anything at all, he kinda wished she would say something about that even if she did sound weird and strange so that he would know what she thought of his idea. But then again what could she say to that? there was not much to say about it. He saw the grin on her face as it became alot more bigger at his thoughts of New Year's Eve. He smiled even more as he saw her blush as he had revealed by complete accident that he had been watching her. He watched her do her nervous routine of carefully and delicately tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she asked a question. He knew that the way he answered this question would determine if her face became an even deep shade of red or not, and for this he would tell her the complete truth even if it did make her blush he was not about to change the truth to stop her from blushing. Cause he liked it when she blushed and plus it was a good thing that he did. He nodded "I did watch them, I watched them through your eyes... you were watching them... they shone in your eyes... and I watched them as they did. So I... was kind of multi-tasking... watching them ... as well as watching.." he wondered if he should finish the sentence.. well she knew already so he might as well "You" he said to her looking into those very eyes that he had been watching while they had been watching the fireworks. The way they changed as each firework went up, the way they sparkled and widened each time. They smiled, laughed just as she did while watching them. They did everything Ella did, they were pretty just like Ella.

Whoops. Ells hadn't meant to suck the all the happiness out of the hallway. Somehow she'd done it anyway, though. Meh. Stupid feelings. She sometimes wished she didn't feel anything at all, that way the bad stuff wouldn't creep up on her like this at the worst times. The third year eyed their pinkies for a moment before returning the hug, happy her face was hidden from view. She was seriously frowning at the moment. "No it's okay, I'm fine it's just....you know. Stuff." Mom stuff to be exact. She pulled away from him and gave him a small reassuring smile, arms still linked around him. "I really am fine, don't worry about it."

BLUSHHHH. Sheesh, Watson. Way to lay it on thick. Ella didn't even try to hide it this time, knowing she was probably a tomato-y red at this point. She giggled at the multitasking comment, rolling her eyes. "Harvs..." Poke. "You're kind of awesome...you know that?"

Harvey nodded "I know.. I know. But I am not going anywhere at all, I just dont want to... be anywhere else." just thinking about it right now made him feel bad. He didnt want to say this but if he did leave he would give her permission to have him tracked down, she afterall did have people to do that for her. He smiled as she did with her arms still around him "Ok if you are sure that you are fine. I just want what I have always wanted since we started dating... I just want you happy." and right now with him saying things like he did, that was not going to completely happen. He was not happy with himself right now even if he was happy that he was hanging out with her right now. He didnt let go of her just yet but he smiled cause having his arms around her just felt good.. maybe he wouldn't let her go just yet. She would have to do something to get him to let go, but she would have to find out what.

Aaannddd there it was the blush that he knew was coming, and no hiding it? well that was new for Ella. He actually liked that she didnt hide it cause if she did everytime he said something he wouldnt get to see her face that much. Maybe she would allow him to openly see her blushing, he smiled at her giggle AND he wanted her to keep giggling.. music to his ears it was. "Whhaatt" he laughed as she poked him.. rubbing the place.. poking.. a new thing of hers that he loved "I am? No I did not know that.. though I did win the affections of an awesome GIRL, so ... maybe that automatically makes me awesome too" he smiled, he still even to this very day considered himself very lucky that he had. What if he had been in Ella's position, to like someone and find that they dont like you in that way. He was lucky Harvs.

Ella nodded, not really feeling like she needed to say anything. He knew how she felt about stuff, had seen her cry over it before... And it meant a lot to hear that he wasn't going anywhere. "I am happy...or I am most of the time. And when I'm not I'll just..." Normally she'd try and keep it to herself, but she figured Harvey wouldn't like that. "I'll talk to you about it, okay?" It was probably better if she started doing that anyway.

"Don't mock, Harvs." She said with a small smile, trying not to laugh. "Well it's true, you are awesome...I guess some of my awesomeness has just rubbed off on you. It's been known to happen, you know." Grin. In actuality, it was other people's awesomeness that tended to rub off on her. She was sure of it. "Harvs? Let's play the question game. We haven't done that in a while." And Ella didn't really have any plans at the moment other than hanging out with him, so it might be fun. "You go first." Not that she was being bossy or anything.

He smiled as she said that she was happy, even if was not all the time. "Well at least you are happy most of the time ... right? " he nodded "Yes you can, you know where I am.. being a badger who is amazing at finding a certain handsome, ravenclaw, fourth year who can make her blush at the drop of a hat!" he laughed as he said this. But he was glad that she would come to him if she ever felt sad. Cause as well as being her boyfriend thats what he was there for, to listen to her and help her through the sad times that she might be going through. There was no way he was going to let her be sad and not do anything about it.

He chuckled "I am doing no such thing!" he sometimes couldnt help it though when he did do it. He smiled and then chuckled "You know.. I will believe that, I guess your awesomeness has rubbed off on me. I guess if I hang around you enough I will become more and more awesome just like you. Well not as awesome as you but near enough" he chuckled a little more, knowing that she was awesome. Not many people could keep him entertained as much as she did, no-one did laugh as much as she did at his comments no matter how rubbish they were. She just seemed to understand him in ways that no-one else ever did, maybe thats why he liked having her around so much... cause it was just so much fun being around her, making him laugh in the process too. "Hmm? " he nodded and smiled "Thats true we haven't" it was one thing that would make hanging out with her enjoyable since they usually found some common ground "Ok I will go first.. hmmm ok I got one! when you first met me, what did you like about me first? and it can be anything!" he said her, now that he was her boyfriend he could ask things about himself and her without her feeling all awkward as to why he was asking something like that.

"Right." Nod. Nod. Nod. And nobody was genuinely happy all the time, it just didn't work that way. She rolled her eyes as he complimented himself, laughing softly. "You are pretty handsome, Harvs." Just in case he didn't realize it.

"Sureee you're not." The third year said with raised eyebrows. She grinned at him as he went on about how awesome she was, willing herself not to blush even more. It seemed to be working too, which was pretty cool. And he wanted to play the game, which was brilliant. Ella really enjoyed it, especially because they had to be totally honest while playing. She listened to his question and smiled at him, thinking about her answer. "Well I guess...I noticed your hair first." Grin. "I kind of have a thing about hair...and that's usually what I notice first about people. Yours is quite nice, by the way." And was she sounding like a weirdo yet or what? "I um...I pick the same question. What did you notice?"

He smiled even if he had made her sad at least he had managed to make her laugh again with a bonus of her rolling her eyes. So that was a success, another mission was successful "Mm so I have been told.. by this pretty girl I know... you know.. you might know her. Third year hufflepuff, loves gummy worms and ice-cream.. loves having a red face." trying hard not to laugh he smiled, that kind of described her a little. He could have said more but that would have bored her and was not ideal. Short and sweet was the fun way.

He laughed as she raised her eyebrows, see! thats all she had to say and it made him laugh.. what was it about her that made him do that "Glad you agree" he grinned at her. She then grinned as he said how awesome she was, he then waited for her face to go red.. it didnt come. It may have gone a little pinkish but not a full on red face, it was fine he didnt need a red face to know the effects his comments could be having on her. He nodded as she answered his question "Mm yes I think I should have known that, knowing that you love my 'just out of bed' look." he chuckled "Yeah? thats good that it is, makes you like it even more." he smiled as he looked at her hair "Yours is nice too, doesnt need any of that styling business that other girls do, its perfect just the way it is" he often wondered why some girls did that to their hair, though he wouldnt be against it if Ella wanted to a bit of styling to her hair. He thought about how to answer her question "Well... there is question mark over what I noticed first.. was it your sparkling eyes... or your .. face.. pretty face" in all its beauty. Though he wasnt sure Ella was quite ready to hear that word 'beautiful' when it came to her, so he would carry on with the pretty until it was time to use beautiful. Well he had better ask another question "Hmm.. ummm... now I know you love ice-cream.. but is there one specific flavour that you like over the rest?" he asked her, this would be good to know so that if he had to buy her ice-cream in the future he would know which one to buy without even asking her.

Ella raised an eyebrow as Harvey described her, a small smile on her face. He'd said she was pretty again, which made her feel quite nice, though she still didn't see herself that way. She was just Ella, nothing special there. She also couldn't help but wonder if that's what she was known for, her love of gummy worms and ice cream. She did talk about it a lot, so maybe it wasn't that surprising but still. The red face bit made her snort before she pushed Harvey gently away from her. "You had me thinking you were talking about me until the red face part..." Grin.

Ella nodded her head, giggling softly. "Yup, I do like it and you should have known." But that was the point of this game, right? To learn stuff about each other? She blushed when he complimented her hair, bringing a hand up to twirl one of the strands absently. "I um... thanks, Harvs. You might be a bit bias, though." Him being her boyfriend and all. And the compliments continued, which only intensified her blushing. Not fair really, that he could make her feel so HDHJFHJF. "I um...Harvs." Meep. He really needed to stop making her brain go all fuzzy. She couldn't think straight when he talked like this. "Thanks." And then the next question was asked and Ella was glad for a change in subject. And the new subject? ICE CREAM! "Well...I really do love all the flavors but if I had to choose...Oreo. No doubt about it." Grin. Grin. Grin. "My turn. What's your favorite thing about Hogwarts?"

He heard her snort before she pushed him away gently and he raised his eyebrows.. Time for some fun? He certainly thought so “Ah I am sorry that I made you think like that. I guess I will have to be more careful” he then moved closer to her “Ok so.. I kind of lied.. Its me that loves her red face not her..” he chuckled as he saw her grin “I see that she likes shoving me now, maybe that’s become a new game for her? To shove me around? Eh?” well that wasn’t so bad, first the nudging and now the shoving. Either way it was her that was having fun doing it so who was he to deny her the fun that she loved.

He nodded that he should have known, but hey at least she giggled right? That was a good thing, he watched as she twirled a strand “No worries, mm maybe.. but I will be honest with you, I thought the same thing a very long time ago.. not long after we met.. so at that time I would not have been bias” he watched as her blushing seemed to deepen as he went on with the compliments that he was giving her. “Hmm? Ok fine I will stop with the compliments.. ok well maybe not stop.. but tone it down a little” cause he couldn’t really completely stop on the compliments since that would be too hard for him to do. He then listened as she answered his question “Oreos.. Got it! ” he had to remember that for the next time they had ice-cream together. She was then asking him a question “Well.. you said thing.. so.. ” he looked at her “Well that’s a tough one.. I have never thought about that.. But I guess if I had to think about it.. Then it would be a place.. I think the lake would be it. How about yours?” he asked her.. But what he had hidden from her was the fact that any place he had hung out with her would be his favourite thing, whether it was topiary garden, the lake, duck pond, great hall or even her own common room where he had left her many times. But that was for a better time.

Ella nodded her head, a small smile on her face. "Yeah you really should be more careful, Watson." Grin. She raised an eyebrow when he moved closer, her stomach filling with those butterflies again. "You lied to me?" Poke. He knew how she felt about that. Ohhh. Grin. "Yeah...I kind of figured that was the case." Not that he mentioned his love of her blushing all the time or anything..."I dunno if she loves it. Maybe she just thinks you deserve one every now and then?" And she smiled mischievously before giggling.

Ella's green eyes widened a bit and she bit her lip, not knowing what to say. "You...you thought that before? Like...a long time ago?" That was kind of surprising to hear. "Thanks, Harvs. Toning it down would be great." Grin. "Yup! Oreos. I love Oreo ice cream! It's delicious! Especially with gummy wormsss!" Bounce. Bounce. Beam! "The lake is really nice." Nod. "I guess mine would be...the lake too, actually. Or the Kitchen." Cause the Kitchen had ice cream! And now it was her turn. Hmmmm. "Ummm...What's...What was your New Years resolution?" Cause surprisingly, they hadn't talked about that.

He nodded "Yes I should and I will note that down in my brain note book" he chuckled as he saw her grin. Oh man he was getting alot of feely stuff right now. He chuckled a little "Ok so maybe I deserved that poke, but it was a different kind of lie" he chuckled and then he smiled "Yeah? well you figured it out quite fast.. smart girl" he smiled.. and she was a smart girl, she figured things out alot faster than he might have done. "She does? Well.. she is allowed to give me a couple here and there .. per day.. per week.. whatever is good with her." he chuckled before stopping and watching her mischievous smile and then the giggle.. oh boy he was in trouble now. Just dont be too tough on him Ella

He smiled as she saw her eyes widen as she bit her lip as she usually did when she was nervous or something. He smiled and nodded "Yes I did, I.. thought the same about your eyes" well he had better stop there and not say too much he was supposed to be toning down the compliments.. well it was a kind of compliment right? so two points were enough unlike the many others he had. He smiled as she thanked him "Hey anything to see that smile on my girls face" he said to her smiling. He could see how excited she was getting about the Oreo ice-cream "With gummy worms.. mm I gotta try that" he said.. hint hint Ella.. time for some ice-cream in the kitchen with your boy. He smiled knowing that her place would be by the lake since they had hung out alot by there that they should have left their mark on the trees or something. "Ah yes the kitchen.. cant forget the kitchen! with all the food and stuff" he chuckled and it was a nice place to be if you ever got hungry. He listened to her question "Umm well I dont have one really.. but I guess it would be to feed you more sweet things. Cause if I did anything else then I have a feeling it would be hard for me to keep it.. but this one I can keep. Whats yours?" he asked curiously wondering what she had come up with hers before he asked her a question.

"Your brain notebook?" Ella giggled, thinking Harvey was being pretty silly. She'd honestly never heard anyone say that before. Nod. "Yeahhh, it wasn't the really bad kind so I guess you're forgiven." This time, anyway...Smart girl? This made Ella smile faintly. "I guess I can be sometimes..." Though she felt quite dumb a lot of the time, and confused. Mostly confused. "Yup, she really does and she's glad she has your permission. She'll try and take it easy, though." Grin.

Ella tried not to smile too wide, it was really hard not to though. And she was pink, that was a given. She stood up on her tip toes and kissed Harvey on the cheek before stepping away. "You're sweet, Harvs." And he was making her feel quite good about herself at the moment, which was nice. "I like the sound of that y'know...your girl." She said thoughtfully, looking up at him. "It has a nice ring to it." Mhm. It totally did. Wait! He'd never had her Oreo ice cream with gummy worms sundae? Blink.Blink. That was an outrage! Ella threw her hands up in the air excitedly and bounced on her heels. "Eep! Harvs, you have to try it! It's SO delicious! I promise. You'll love it!" They'd have to have a kitchen date really soon, that was necessary. She smiled at his resolution before letting out a little giggle. "I have to say I really like that resolution. I think mine would be...to not apologize for things so much. And...I guess to try and not think so much." Or over think things, really. She did both lots and she needed to relax a bit, or so she'd been told. Then it was her turn to ask a question. Hmmm. "What's your favorite memory, Harvs?"

He nodded "Yeah! I mean I do need to remember things so I write them down in my brain note book" he chuckled as he said this, well it sounded like a good idea at the time so he said it, now he was not so sure about it. He smiled "Thanks Ella" as she said that he was forgiven, he wouldnt like it if he hadnt been forgiven. "Well I think you are, you were smart enough to choose me as your guy" he chuckled, well he didnt think that really. But he knew that she was a smart girl, he smiled as she grinned "I am glad that she is glad, well she doesnt have to but that is entirely her choice" he wouldnt mind if she ended up having alot of fun shoving him and things cause thats all it was, a bit of fun.

He watched as she went pink over his confession that he had noticed her hair and her eyes even before they had starting feeling things for each other, and that was true he had noticed how beautiful her eyes were. He immediately got a grin on his face as she kissed his cheek "I might be, but I am sure you dont mind a sweet ol' me? " he asked as he looked into those eyes that he had noticed before he listened to what she was saying "You do? Mm I think you are right.. it does!!" he smiled "My girl... my girl. I think I need to say it more often, like I love hanging out with MY girl. MY girl is pretty.... awesome" he said using the words that she liked, so now maybe he would have to say it more often. He was then surprsed at her behaviour at his confession that he hadn't had Oreo ice-cream with gummy worms on top! "Ok.. ok I will try it, I just need someone to try it with me" hint Ella, time to set that kitchen date. This time if they did have that date he was going to do something he wanted to do last time but he didnt cause they were just friends back then. He smiled as he heard her giggle "Yeah? thats good, its the one that I keep and I will enjoy keeping it" he said as she said what hers would be "Those are good resolutions.. I might try to help you keep them if I can" he smiled cause he didnt want her to break her resolutions. He listened to her question and thought about it, well there were lots!! The first day he arrived here and made his friends on the train, first day he met Ella, first day they became friends, all the times they had hung out, the day he had told her how he felt, and all the times they had kissed. He had to pick one out of that? that was tough "Well I have a few actually, the first day I arrived here and made my friends, the day we met, the day I told you how I felt.. and many more. I guess I just want to remember my time with you, I dont want to forget a single thing. Thats why I have my brain notepad" he chuckled as he looked at her "Do you have one?" he asked her before he thought of something to ask her "Would you like to join Ravenclaw?" he asked her wiggling his eyebrows, you know you want to Ella, afterall Harvey is in that house, more time with him if you do.

Ella nodded, smiling at Harvey. He was cute. "I see." A brain notebook. Heh. That was a very Harvey thing to say. "You're very welcome, Harvs." Grin. Oh, very confident today, huh? Ella smirked, raising an eyebrow at him. "Well aren't you Mr. Confidence today..." Not that she minded. It was actually nice to see him like this, rather than doubting himself or putting himself down. Grin.

Ella shook her head. "Nope, I don't mind at all." It was really awesome having someone around who could make her feel so good about herself. She hoped she did that for Harvey as well. "I do." Grin. And she giggled as he used the phrase several more times, rolling her eyes at him. "Yup...still sounds great." She raised her eyebrows when he told her he'd need someone to try the ice cream with him. "You'll be trying it with me, of course. It is my favorite after all. Maybe we can go tomorrow or something?" After classes were over and their work was done. It would be like a reward or something! "I'd like help keeping those resolutions. Thanks for offering." It would probably do her a world of good to stop worrying all the time. She simply looked up at him grinning like an idiot when he told her his favorite memories, many involving her. As for hers, she knew exactly what it was. "Mine is boarding the train to Hogwarts first year because...well lots of amazing things have happened since then and it's all because I got on that train." Grin. Was that a lame answer? "Hey Harvs? I think I should head back to the common room soon. We have a badger get together tonight."

Harvey saw smile and grin and that was very good to see! He saw that eyebrow go up and he nodded "But only because you are here, I guess I can be myself around you whether I am being silly or weird and not have to worry about you not liking that side of me." yup that was the one thing that brought confidence or made it go away, by the fact that he didnt want to seem to stupid or something in front Ella, but he now knew that he could without worrying too much. "This new Harvey I think is cause of you Ella, so thank you for making me into this fun guy that you care about so much and who cares about you too!" he said as he leaned in and gave her a kiss as a little prize for being the one that was finally showing him that being around Hogwarts was enjoyable.

He smiled and gave her a nod when she said that she didnt mind, well of course she wouldnt she did like sweet things so him being sweet just helped her like him more. He heard her giggle "Thats good I am glad it does, wouldn't want it not sounding great" no.. no cause that would be bad of course! He saw her raise her eyebrows as he said he needed someone to try the ice-cream with, he nodded "Well I cant think of a better person to go with than you, so yes we can go tomorrow. It will be a fun time tomorrow thats for sure, any time with you is a fun time." he smiled, which intensified when she agreed to him helping her keep her resolutions. "No worries, wouldn't want you struggling to keep them on your own, I am here to support you now and even if that means these resolutions of yours." he smiled as she looked up at him grinning like they usually did at some point as he listened to what she had to say about her memory "That is true! and I am very glad that we both got on that train even if it was at different times" he now wondered how it was that they had not met on the train, oh wait.. its cause he spent that whole journey secretly with Minnie in the Food Trolley hiding from Ronnie. "Yes?" he said as she said his name, he did love it when she said his name or called him anything else "Oh.. right.. ok.. no worries.. let me walk you back to your common room then" he said offering his arm. He now really wished that he was a puff cause he wouldnt have to leave her at the door.

Ella was really glad to hear that Harvey felt like he could be himself around her, it was nice to hear. "Yup, that's true. I don't want you to ever be anything other than you, okay? ...Cause you're brilliant." And nodded seriously before cracking a smile. She blushed as he explained his new attitude was because of her. Was that true? Had she really changed him that much? It was pretty surprising to hear. Even more surprising, the unexpected kiss. She smiled against his lips before looking up at him curiously. "What was that for?" ...Not that she minded.

Ella bounced when Harvey agreed to ice cream. BEAM. "Good! I can't wait. Ice cream with you sounds great!" Two of her favorite things combined. She squeezed his hand, giving him a small smile. "Thanks for offering to help." It was quite nice and she appreciated it. "I'm glad too, cause if we hadn't...we never would have met." Which was weird to think about...so she ignored the thought. The third year took his arm when he offered, giving him a smile in return. "Alrighty, let's go." And off they went.

Minerva carried the mannequins out of the classroom and down the corridor. They were heavy and she didn't want to drop any of them. She didn't know who's she even had, she had just taken as many as she could handle. Once at the homework room door she placed them all neatly in a row along the wall. Then went back to the classroom to collect more.

A few moments later Minerva was back with more mannequins being very careful to look out for Peeves or anything that might come and try to mess up their hard work, plus she was careful not to drop any. Making her way back to the other mannequins they had already lined up by the door. Setting the last of the mannequins down she made sure they were neatly done and then headed off to her next class.

Where was that girl when you needed her? Lex was searching the whole place for the bloody puffer and for once she couldn't be found. Merlin, leave it to Laura to be there when you didn't need her but conveniently gone when you did. Ugh. If this wasn't so important she would have given her a piece of her mind when she found her but as things stood she had to be all civil about things so she could get her homework done.

Of course there was the fact that she didn't know whether or not Laura would agree...but she had to. She owed Lex for bullying her back then and getting her in trouble. Yup.

When she thought about it the girl couldn't say no. Now where was she?!

Laura was walking around the castle when suddenly she saw the person who had been wanting to speak to her, she had no idea why Lex would want to speak to her about anything, didn't Lex hate her, wasn't that why she had broke her wand, so why would she want anything to do with her. "Hello Alexa." Laura gave the small firstie a smile. "You wanted to speak to me?" Laura was curious about what Alexa wanted.

Lex forced away the scowl that had formed when she saw Laura. Civil Lex. The scowl was replaced by the best smile she could manage. "Hi Laura." Came her short response. "Yeah I did. I was wondering if you'd help me practise those spells for DADA class...I already have a bit of practice so I don't think I'll be able to do any permanent damage and even if I do it won't matter 'cause the Healer's just a few floors down." She said with an indifferent shrug, making it seem like not such a big deal.

The best person to do this homework with was Laura. If something did go wrong then she wouldn't have cared nearly as much as if it was with someone she actually cared about. Using Laura was a safety measure and a risk she was more than willing to take.

Laura looked at Alexa and smiled. "I will help you." Laura wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not but she would help Alexa. "But only if you will help me do mine at the same time." Laura thought this was going to be awesome, but if Alexa didn't help Laura with her homework then Laura wasn't going to help Alexa with hers and if someone got injured or hurt at least she knew the healer was around because she still didn't trust Alexa.

Alexa had to pause for a minute to really give that some thought. The girl wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box and she didn't want her aiming a wand at her BUT she needed to get her homework done and there was no way she was gonna ask someone else.

"Okay..." She said a bit hesitantly. "I guess we'll just practice together then--but I'm going first." That way even if something did go wrong she'd still be able to say she'd gotten her homework done. "Right, so I guess I'll start with the numbing one. Are you okay with that??" Since she was going first she'd let Laura decide.

Laura looked at Alexa and smiled. "Okay then I'm ready when you are." Laura wasn't really sure if she was or not but well there was only one way to find out and that was to actually do the work, she didn't really think it was a good idea to let Alexa start but whatever at least if she got hurt she could tell Professor Romanos that it wasn't her fault she didn't do the homework it was Alexa because she had hurt her.

Good. Laura didn't have a problem with her going first. Not that it mattered seeing as she probably would have cast it on her anyway just to see if she could.

"Okay." She said, pulling the wand from its holding on her waist. "I said we'd be doing the finger numbing spell first so here we go." She made the upside-down U a couple times just to make sure she hadn't forgotten the wand movement then she went on to mutter the incantation over and over as well. As much as she didn't care what happened to Laura she still wanted to get this spell right...plus...if she was being honest she might have felt bad if she hurt the girl--just a litte.

"Ready. Petrificus Digitirus!" Once she spell was cast she gave Laura a look. "Well...how does your hand feel?" STARE.

Laura looked at Alexa and then felt her hand start to hurt. "Well my fingers are stuck together." Laura try to move her fingers but she couldn't. "I think that is how it's suppost to be though." Laura was actually in shock that Alexa had managed to do something right, if it wasn't because she had this funny feeling Alexa could work when she wanted to she would have fainted on the spot there and then.
