Violet was happy enough with her piece of fudge and the dark chocolate truffle candy she selected, but the last one--she wasn't fond of gumballs (too undignified for a seventh year!) and she didn't really want to skip any of her Charms homework this year, either, not with N.E.W.T.s coming up. Still, she reminded herself, she now had more than she'd come in with--maybe she could barter the gumball to someone in the Slytherin Common Room later, for something she really wanted. And even better, there was no more climbing expected of her today! Ending the gripping charm on the gloves and returning them to their place, she bid the Charms professor a cordial, "Goodbye, Professor!" |
