Mandy had always enjoyed charms, and felt at ease with most of what they learned in class fairly quickly. She also never felt pressured about exams, unlike some of her schoolmates, who appeared to be losing complete control of their emotions at the mere thought of exams of any kind. Professor Flitwick had only mentioned that the Cheering Charms they'd studied today would be on their end of term exams this year, and people were already obsessing about the possibility of OWLs and NEWTs and what if they had to use a Cheering Charm in a practical exam and over-cheered someone into hysterics?
The noise level in the Great Hall was always a bit much for Mandy at lunch time, and she had finished eating quickly and found a quiet courtyard nearby to pull out her charms text and read a bit. Felix Summerbee was quite the interesting wizard, at least to someone like Mandy, and she loved knowing the historical significance of spells that they were taught in class. She had just pulled her wand out to practice the arm motion in mid-air when she heard steps on the cobblestones nearby and turned to see who it was.
