Emmeline gave Professor Marchand a big smile and an even BIGGER hug when he said he wanted one. Talking quietly so that other kids wouldn't hear, she told him: "Any time, Professor sir. Gryffindors stick together, right?" Wasn't that the point of the Houses system?

She made her way over to her usual seat after that, because her watch said it was almost time to start. She smiled and waved at Jessa, Derf, Stasya, and Abey and anyone else she knew. Everyone looked so good in their costumes! Her usual seat was, of course, within talking distance of Derf and Stasya and as she passed Derf's desk, she noticed the picture he was looking at really intensely. Thinking it was some kind of creature, she was a little surprised to see that it was only a really pretty girl -- but wait, the girl was blonde...
"Is that girl part veela, Derf?" She was curious now. Wasn't that one of the American IMPS girls? There wasn't time to ask any more questions, though, because now Professor Marchand was talking and candied apples were appearing on the desks!

See, this was why Charms was such a cool class. Casual use of magic and the fact that anything could happen would make any class more exciting. Emmeline listened intently to the instructions and then slid down in her seat until she was eye level with the two apples. Hmmm... She didn't notice anything right away.
Scrunching up her nose in concentration, she carefully poked the two apples. From Derf's stories about the staff here, she was reluctant to taste anything professors gave her; however, Abey had tasted them and he was still okay. She liked Professor Marchand and she didn't want him to turn out to be evil, buuut she didn't want to risk anything bad happening by tasting the apples either.

She poked each apple again; did the one on the right feel kind of smoother? She thought magic would make a picture-perfect apple, so she was looking at them for imperfections. Sniffing delicately, she thought they smelled the same so it would have to be touch and sight alone that guided her.

Now that she was concentrating, the apple on the left seemed to be a slightly different shape than the one on the right; the left apple had an extra little bump thing at the top. Also, the candied stuff was applied well but it didn't look as...magically perfect as the right apple's did. So, she determined that the right apple was the magic-made one and the left apple was the house elf made one.

Digging in her bag, Emmeline extracted her Charms notebook, extra parchment, a quill and ink to write down her findings like the professor said to:

Right apple: made by magic because it is perfectly smooth and shaped. And the candy stuff is even around the whole thing, and there's the same amount of candy stuff on every part of the apple. It's too perfect.
Left Apple: made by awesome house-elves because the candy stuff is not 100% even and the same over the whole apple. Also this apple has an extra bump thing at the top by the stem.
