Time for Charms! Mum and Dad were always going on about how Emmeline needed to learn "proper witch feeling" at Hogwarts; she wasn't sure what that meant, but she never felt like a witch more than she did in classes that were all about wands. She had quickly discovered upon her arrival that she loved learning new spells, even if she wasn't always good at it, so naturally Charms was high up on her list of "lessons I actually like." Plus, it was almost her very favorite holiday ever, Halloween! And this would be an extra special Halloween for Emmeline, Nanny had seen to that. She'd never been allowed to dress up for Halloween before because Mum said she was a witch already and Halloween was a time to make sure to wear pointed hats and look every inch the proper witch. This year, Nanny had, probably in secret, sent her a pink princess costume by owl post. This made the news that they could wear costumes to Charms class even more welcome for the 11-year-old than it would be normally. It was kind of hard to skip properly in such a long dress but she managed it!

The sight of Professor Marchand briefly stayed the first year's excitement, because he looked tired and sad. She knew that look on grown ups very well, because Nanny often wore it whenever Mum and Dad did something that Nanny didn't agree with. No one should be sad so close to Halloween! Looking around the room, Emmeline found the perfect solution. She made a beeline for the drinks table at the back and poured a BIIIG cup for her Head of House. Walking carefully back to his desk, she set it with even more care on the desk in front of him 'cause he was hiding something behind his back. "Hi, Professor Marchand! This is for you. D'you need anything else? Tea? Your pet? A hug?" She could fetch the first two if he wanted, and she was always willing to hug people unless they didn't like hugs. Emmeline smiled shyly at the Charms professor; she supposed it was weird to talk like this to a somewhat-strange grown up but he reminded her so much of Nanny's bad moods that she really wanted to help.
