[witness one (1) Finn Hudson, batting at a leather bound book with his broomstick. the book seems unperturbed, however, as it in turn latches onto the end of the broomstick with its... teeth?]

If anyone knows how to reverse the "Inanimatus Conjurus" spell, that'd be really freakin' sweet.

[SHAKES BROOMSTICK!]

[airplanecups]

...Nothing. It was someone else. Charming my books like a dick. I mean, who does that?

[hahahaha]

Someone you don't get along with?

[airplanecups]

Yeah. A Sytherin. I mean, wow. Those guys are jerks.

[hahahaha]

If you bring the book to me, I can try to find a counter charm.

[airplanecups]

Cool! Where are you?

[hahahaha]

I'm in the library.

[airplanecups]

Don't go anywhere. You just got yourself a date!

[grabs the book and snaps the video shut!]

[hahahaha]

[W-what?

Anri is a little disconcerted by that, but just goes back to reading her book while she waits for Finn to show up.]

[airplanecups]

[TEN MINUTES LATER: appears, holding a now belt-strapped book in his arms.]

Hey!

[hahahaha]

H-hello, Finn.

[Anri closes her book.]

Please bring it over here.

[airplanecups]

[plops the book down, then takes a seat.]

I totally had this under control, but I forgot the counter-curse Santana used to make it stop trying to snack on my ankle and it wore off. Seriously, this thing means business. I bet the guy who charmed this was real tall and buff. And a badass.

[hahahaha]

I think I have something that will work.

[She pulls a notebook over and flips through the pages until she finds what she wants, but she pauses before using it.]

Do you want to be able to use the book again?

[airplanecups]

...yeah.

[hahahaha]

What class is it for?

[airplanecups]

Defence Against the Dark Arts. It's second-hand, but it still cost my mom a squillion.

[hahahaha]

Okay.

[She flips a few more pages in her notebook. Can't use that first counter-curse after all.

She finds what she was looking for, marks that page with a finger, then looks for another page.

She casts two charms, one after the other. The book shivers and seems to sigh.]

You should press flowers between the pages.

[airplanecups]

[blinks!]

Flowers?

[hahahaha]

I cast a calming charm and a....well, it's... [She blushes a little in embarrassment and adjusts her glasses.]

It's a combination of a charm and transfiguration. It...eats...plants now.

[airplanecups]

...

[hahahaha]

....It won't try to bite you anymore.

[airplanecups]

No offense, 'cause you seem really cool and it was super awesome of you to do this, but how the hell am I gonna explain this to Professor Winchester?

[hahahaha]

It's a longer term solution than impedimenta. And...and if he thinks you did the spellwork, he'll be impressed.

[airplanecups]

[...magics up a daisy. feeds it to his book. ;;;]

[hahahaha]

...I'm sorry.

[airplanecups]

...It's cool. How many times do you get to say you have a plant-eating book?
