The assignment was thus: an extended analysis on a particular charm, hex, jinx or piece of magic with an intensive use of spellwork, in the form of a critical research and theoretical essay, as well as a practical demonstration. It struck Lucinda as having its roots in Magical Theory as an assessment, but she wasn’t complaining. Magical Theory was something she enjoyed greatly.
Having converged around Anthea at the outset of the assignment, it had been agreed that Ailyn, Anthea and Lucinda were to work together on this assignment. Frankly, Lucinda was incredibly confident with them as a team. Lucinda, admittedly, approached most things with a brisk determination that did not allow much room for nervousness or flinching, but this was definitely a merited confidence. Honestly, what couldn’t they do?
The three of them were seated around a bench, preparing to begin. “Given the assignment, I thought it would be interesting if we did the Patronus Charm,” Lucinda said. “A lot of people will be focusing on things like Flipendo and Alohamora, which are absolutely doable, but honestly, I think they’d be boring. Might as well do something worthwhile, right?” A Patronus was built with theory and language, much like many spells, but there was an emotional art to it—emotions were always important with magic, but the Patronus relied on it more than most.
