"Do these stack?" muses Bella, peering at the book. "Maybe you better hit him again, Tony."

Tony giggles and casts another one.

"Ha. Ha, ha, ha," says Sherlock.

Bella sticks out her tongue at him. "Tony, can I try on you?"

"Sure."

Bella points, waves her vine wand, and speaks the incantation.

Tony is cheered!

The Charms teacher has read Feral's note from Healer Song, and says that he can get a passing grade for the day's assignment if he submits a one-page essay on Cheering Charms that is not "conspicuously plagiarized from the textbook".

The other three continue their practices. Bella tries both wands; it's easier to get the spell off correctly with the vine, but the hazel has more oomph. The charm continues not to work on her, but she seems to be having a good time anyway.

By the end of the class, Feral is the only student who has not successfully cast the charm, but he does have his essay written.

Bella peers over his shoulder.

His handwriting is terrible.

Bella giggles. "Is there a handwriting-fixing spell the teachers know?"

Feral shrugs.

Feral cheerfully heads off to Herbology.

"Take notes for me?" Bella calls after him. "...Neatly?"

He laughs.

She takes that as a "maybe" and goes to Magizoology.

"Did you take me Herbology notes?" Bella asks.

"Kind of," he says. "We didn't learn much. I wrote down some stuff."

"What not-much did you learn? Magizoology was about Kneazles today."
