It also feels validating that they share same interest, it confirms that his way of seeing the world is valuable. They just simply tuned to the same things. So when Skylar talked about wanting to explore the Forbidden Forest, his eyes widened, “Really? Me too! I want to explore the place and hoping I’ll find magical creatures. There’s so much out there we only read about. It’s a waste not to see it for ourselves.”
He nodded when she mentioned the book. “Same. I always think about what it must have been like for the author traveling, meeting creatures, writing everything down. It must have been the best life.” He smiled at her.
He laughed at her description of mandrakes. “A baby crying? Can’t blame you for thinking that. But it was a dangerous cry.” She looked embarrassed for it so he shook his head. “It’s okay, we find comfort where we could.”
After the accident she apologized, “You don’t need to be sorry.” He glanced at the soaked vines. “Accidents like that happens. You reacted fast and protected the seed, and you also warned me.” The next thing to do now was to wait for things to cool down, “Okay, got it.”
He followed her gaze toward the front of the class. The professor started explaining the next spell, who stood beside the dummy while twirling her wand between her fingers.
"The spell I'm going to demonstrate is the Clothing Ignition Spell. Lacarnum Inflamari is the incantation y’all will need. 'Lacarnum' comes from Latin word 'lacerna,' meaning 'cloak.' As for 'Inflamari,' its Latin origin is 'inflammare' which means to 'ignite.' Say it with me, slowly: La-KAR-num In-flah-MAR-ee."
The professor enunciated each syllable and asked them to repeat it. Zephyr pronounced the words slowly and clearly, “La-KAR-num In-flah-MAR-ee.” And then followed the wand movement as instructed. Moving the wand upwards diagonally then downwards in the same direction like a triangle, and curved the point inwards and rotated round bracket shape underneath the triangle. A stream of fire projected from the tip of the wand set the dummy’s vest ablaze. Then the professor casted extinguo before the garment burned too much. Zephyr was pretty amazed by the spell. She glanced at Skylar, whistling and raising his wand as if telling her it’s their turn to practice the spell.

For the new spell, he watched the wand movement. Triangle shape then the curve underneath. He practiced it once in the air before his turn. “Lacarnum Inflamari!” When he cast the spell, the fire came out properly in just one try which was surprising. Magic is incredible, you say the words, move your wand the right way, and spell works as expected. Of course there were other factors that could affect the success of the spell work, it could go bad or not at all. He looked at the dummy’s vest which was still smoking, and felt amazed. The fact that it worked exactly as taught was unreal to him. For someone who grew up unaware of the wizarding world, he’s doing good so far.
He heard the clap and when he glanced around, he saw Skylar looking in his direction. She must have seen his practice and was cheering him on. Seeing that, he grinned at her and gave him a thumbs up. The class moved on, and he stayed aware of her presence nearby while also keeping his own focus.
The class finally ended and as he packed up, he was satisfied. He handled unexpected problems without freezing and successfully casted the spells they have learned that day. As they went out, he waited for Skylar and smiled at her, “Good job today, thanks for the help. Next time, let’s work together again. See you around?” With that, he went to his next class.
END.
