 Mischievous Niffler
Crimalla's eyes stung when the Headmaster chastised her for not helping with the cleaning. She looked down at the floor so no one could see the tears in her eyes. They were tears of humiliation, not sadness. Keeping her eyes looking down at the floor, she went over and began standing chairs up.
When at last this was done, she sat down in her seat and didn't even answer the first question when asked. There were so many other students answering that it seemed she got away with not answering. It was not until the Headmaster began answering everyone's replies that the raven managed to get a grip on herself.
But so lost in her own was she that she wasn't paying attention when the Headmaster explained the difference between the two charms. And now he was asking another question, and she had no idea what the proper answer was or even how to begin trying to figure it out. And yet, she couldn't dare risk being silent for two questions in a row. What if he called her out again?!
Her hand shot into the air and, swallowing nervously, she forced herself to make up an answer to try and make it seem like she knew what she was talking about. "I would use Alarte Ascendare because the creature would be very close to me and I'd be able to make it bounce into the air. Then I would run back the way I came and the creature would fall off the cliff."
She cringed. |
