"An essential spell to any wizard's repertoire is levitation - namely, the ability to make things fly," Professor Flitwick says with emphasis, the pile of books he stands on wobbling furiously underneath him. The class is a melting pot of different students, all different color robes. Floriane sits next to Luna, who dons the same Ravenclaw robes as she does - but she notices plenty of students in Gryffindor red, Hufflepuff yellow, and Slytherin green robes as well.
"I see you've all got your feathers," Professor Flitwick smiles, "and I trust you've all completed last night's assigned reading. Now, what is the wand motion for the standard levitation charm? Anyone?" He looks out to the sea of young, wide-eyed pupils.
A pale Gryffindor girl sitting on the opposite side of the classroom raises her hand confidently. Her hair is a fiery red and her face is sprinkled with freckles.
"Yes, Miss Weasley?" Weasley. Floriane recognizes that name.
"Flick and swish," the girl says.
That's wrong, Floriane thinks. Not thinking anything of it, simply meaning to correct the girl's error, Floriane slowly raises her hand.
"Well- Yes, what is it, Miss Floret?"
"I thought it was swish and flick," Floriane says matter-of-factly.
"You'd be correct, Miss Floret! Five points to Ravenclaw!"
Floriane makes eye contact with the redheaded girl from across the room. She tilts her head, lowers her eyelids, and smirks, as if to sarcastically say, Bravo.
Professor Flitwick eagerly teaches the students the incantation for the charm, and soon sets them off to attempt the charm on their own. The hubbub of students waving their wands at stagnant feathers quickly fills the room. Luna's already got her wand out and is patiently reciting the incantation at her feather, neatly performing the wand movement. Floriane scrambles to get her wand from her robe pocket and attempt it.
Holding her wand tentatively over her feather, Floriane thinks. She pored over the assigned reading the previous night. What did it say, it said to really emphasize the gar, didn't it?
Floriane takes a deep breath and grips her wand tightly before she languidly moves her wand and softly says, "Wingardium Leviosa."
To her surprise, the feather twitches a little bit. Then it starts to rise.
"Brilliant, Floriane," Luna says, her eyes transfixed on the feather, floating up and up. "You got it on your first try!"
Floriane keeps her wand focused on it, and the feather levitates higher and higher until it's nearly touching the ceiling.
Professor Flitwick apparently notices, because he starts clapping. "Miss Floret's got it! Well done! Ten more points to Ravenclaw!"
After having earned her house fifteen points in one class, Floriane's feeling unusually cocky, so she turns to look at the redheaded girl again. She's looking at Floriane, too, and she's no longer smiling. Her eyes are steely and she raises an eyebrow. Maintaining eye contact with Floriane the entire time, she holds her wand up to her feather and says clearly, "Wingardium Leviosa."
