So we're going to play a little game where I will extinguish one of your senses and you will have to use your other four senses to identify a series of seven objects. Ready?"
Without waiting for too much of a disagreement, Josephina pulled on night goggles over her eyes and tossed instant darkness powder into the air, and then removed box one from behind her desk. "Inside this box, which I will pass around and give you all the opportunity to identify it, you can feel inside the box if you wish or just use your sense of smell, or even taste it if you want, as its edible...." With that, she began walking around the room to give them all an opportunity to identify the object. Cassia wasn't actually expecting to be breaking any curses. Did the other students expect that? Well, surely Professor Hadley wasn't going to curse anyone just to show the other students how a curse is broken,right? Cassia thought that they might learn it in theory. But that too wasn't happening.
And before she decided if she was disappointed or not, Professor Hadley mentioned something about a game! Which immediately excited the second-year and made her shift in her seat eager to know about the game they were going to play.
And it was explained. A guessing game. Cassia didn't mind those but she almost NEVER guessed right. She didn't really care as long as she had fun. So when the lights went out, Cassia waited for Professor Hadley to get closer to her seat. And when she did, Cassia stretched her hand out and inserted in into the box clumsily for she wasn't seeing anything. She decided to feel it and then if necessary smell it. But NOT taste it. Eww...what if someone else had licked it before her. Ewwwww..she didn't eve want to think about that.
Running her finger on the surface of the object, Cassia waited for her brain to process something. It never did. She used both of her hands. The object had a circular shape and not so smooth surface. Feeling defeated, the second-year shook her head in the dark and spoke up, "
It's something small," Well obviously considering it fit into the box. "
And feels like rubber." She paused.
"Is it a rubber ball?" Though it didn't feel like a sphere but maybe Professor Hadley squished it or something to trick them. Cassia wanted to ask if it was indeed a ball could she keep it as she guessed it but that would sound stupid and childish so she didn't. And the twelve-years old didn't bother to smell it. It didn't feel worth it, besides other students surely did so it didn't feel comfortable to do so.
