~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Oh nooo, professor. Aria had no plans for such destructive things. At least not here? But if she were to encounter a hostile at some point, you bet that she would. Now she had an accurate idea of what this particular spell would do to someone. This could be useful for OWLs, right?
The girl watched with interest as Madigan revealed all the things while she hugged the cushion she had worked on to her chest. Until they were instructed to follow the man, of course, and she dropped the cushion and did so. Thankfully she wasn’t scared of heights but she did pity those who did. Phobias were something she understood. Madigan’s explanation went through her mind on the loop for a bit. Thank Merlin she had practiced the stronger version of the spell!
Watching Madigan demonstrate, Aria thought it all seemed so easy and couldn’t wait to get started. Just imagine how different it would have been if no magic was involved and one fell from above. “Such a ‘dangerous’ activity,’’ Aria muttered good naturedly. “Wait till my father hears about this.” Val or James? Both? Who knows.
Determined to put her best foot forward, Aria got started. “Verdimillious Duo!” Just as with practice, the necessary wand movement was done, only this time nothing happened. Woops! Just minor technical difficulties! Perhaps she hadn’t used enough intent and focus. “Verdimillious Duo!” EXCELLENT! There we go. Ms. McLeod beamed to herself for six platforms had suddenly become visible. She’d better hurry otherwise they’d vanish soon, yes? |
