"Professor?" Sophie asked. Either one of you. Preferably the one who knew the answer. "Going off Beverly's question, will this charm work as self-defense? I mean, I know we're talking about free will..." Which, by the way, was completely unimportant to Sophie. Who cared if they took away an animal's free will? PSH.

"...but could it be used if we need to defend ourself against an animal? Could we use the charm to make it loyal to us instead of...hungry for us?" she asked.

In the meantime... "Animalis Fidelis!" she said. "Animalis Fidelis!"

Also, did Beverly have a dragon or something? Hmm, hmm?
