Emily kept practicing her stance, looking around at the people who were partnering up. She saw some of them using magic and gasped. They had been expressly told not to do so. Well, if everyone else is... she thought, looking down at her DADA book, her right (wand) hand itching to do a spell. She flipped the book back to near the end and looked at some of the more interesting spells. What am I doing?! Emily chided herself. She sat her still unused wand down next to the book, closing it, and then picked up her quill. She then continued practicing her stance using her quill instead of her wand. I hope no one thinks I'm crazy she thought; then she sighed as she thought It's the only way and gazed longingly at her wand.
