Cordelia lay in her bed, over the messily made blankets. She was in her powder blue pajama pants and white tee-shirt with her blonde hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. She had a book opened in front of her that read Standard Book of Spells. Her wand was in her right hand. She was busy practicing nonverbal spellcasting as she had had some experience last year, but not a sufficient amount to be able to pass her N.E.W.T.s in just a few short months. So she put a small stack of her other school books at the edge of her bed and was currently busy concentrating on trying to make them levitate with Wingardium Leviosa.. She twirled her wand in her hand a moment, a look of great concentration on her face as she furrowed her brow at the small stack in front of her. Some of her dorm mates were sleeping so nonverbal spells was the perfect thing to practice at this time of night.

The blonde witch closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Slowly, she opened her eyes and pointed her wand at the stack of books. "Wingardium Leviosa," she thought to herself, her brow furrowed more in concentration. She kept her eyes on the books and she pointed her wand more. "Wingardium Leviosa," she thought once more and this time the stack of books began to rise. She moved her wand higher along with the books and was able to keep the spell casting for a few more seconds until someone entered the dormitory and Cordie dropped the books in a fright on top of her blankets.

Cordelia's eyes darted to the figure standing in the doorway. Only a single candle was lit on Cordie's bedside table so as to not disturb her roommates. She glanced then over to the bed next to her to see that it was still empty. Then a small smirk crossed her face. "Out late, are we Maggie?" She whispered in the near darkness to her best friend.
