September: Charms

Trin took a deep breath when it was her turn and walked to the front of the class. "My name is Trinity Paige, but everyone calls me 'Trin'. I was sorted into the Ravenclaw House and I'm a half-breed. My dad is a wizard, and mom left us when I got my letter because she wasn't magical. After that, Dad and I moved to Hogsmeade."  

She looked at the board and smiled back to the class, taking her wand out to show them. "This is my wand. It's ten and a half inches long and is made of Laurel and Peacock Feather. I think the wand chose me because people who own it are skilled in lots of different things, and I like learning all sorts of stuff! Apparently owners of the wand also are good at keeping secrets, which I am!" 

Trin looked at the next question and remembered the answer from the professor's lecture. "The difference between charms and transfiguration is that charms only change things a little bit, and not for long. When you do a transfiguration spell, it changes something completely, until you change it back." 

After thinking about the next question she said, "I think I'm looking forward most to the charms about changing colour and appearances. I'm most nervous about the pronouncing of the charms. The Italian words look hard to say!" 

Trin read the last question and said, "I don't really know any charms yet. We couldn't really do magic in Inverness. By the time we were in Hogsmeade, I had to focus on getting ready for Hogwarts!" 

Trin sat down when she was done and waited for the next person to go up to the front.
