Annabeth looked at the rabbit. It was so beautiful and fluffy. While Professor Bellaire had told them the spell wouldn't do it any harm, she wasnt' sure and wouldn't want to see the rabbit screaming or bleeding, or turned to a half hat half pet. The odd image of a half hat half rabbit - a hat with big ears and big feet jumping around - popped in her mind and upset her stomach. She placed her wand on the table and made the movement like an upside down U several times with her empty hand, pointing to the rabbit with her forefinger as if it were her own wand. She wanted to practice before hurting the rabbit.
