Crystal walked into the classroom, with a smile on her face. *I seem to be late for all classes* she thought to herself. "Sorry, Proffessro Bittersweet," she said. "I'm late because my familydecided to make a surprise trip to our cottage for most of the Summer, and I couldn't reason with them." She put down her books on her desk, and slid into her seat. Then she noticed a bird trying to land on her head. Waving her wand and muttering a few words, the bird went still, and fell. She caught the bird, and carefully set it on her desk. She would rather use the bird than her owl.
