Every once in a while, Stasya felt like she’d done something right even if she hadn’t actually done anything. She hadn’t offered a suggestion to the question that had been posed to the class, mostly because she’d felt deep down that the only answer was the undetectable extension charm and that had already been mentioned. It hadn’t mattered, as that had been what they were learning. But, she hadn’t had to move since she’d already been sitting down next to one of the piles, so that had helped out. All she’d needed to do was take her wand out to try the spell.

Although, she’d left her wand lying in her lap at first. Practicing the incantation was always her first step in any practical activity, even if she’d also tried to remember when her mama had used the spell sometimes. Maybe on her trunk before she’d headed to Hogwarts, anyway, but the memory wasn’t really helping very much. “Capacious extremis,” she said softly to herself, repeating it a few times just to make sure she’d gotten it right. Determination only worked if she actually tried to get the spell right, and since the wand movement was so easy she figured that meant spending as much time on the other part of the spell before she bothered trying it for real.

Finally, though, as others had started actually packing their supplies, she picked her wand up. “Capacious extremis!” Pointing her wand inside the bag, she tried to focus on making the inside seem way bigger than it should be. Either way, she wasn’t going to find out unless she tried to actually pack the supplies for her pile inside, although she was tempted to just see how far she fit in there herself. It would find out if her spell had worked, anyway.

Instead, she picked up her sleeping bag and started trying to fit it inside. At least that worked. There was a lot of other things to pack yet though, and it made her grateful that she had her cookies in her school bag. Snacks were covered no matter what.
