Fifty-third Spell

This hasn't happened in the castle for a while, but people are arriving who share faces with other people. It can be very unsettling. Especially if... if one of those faces is someone who was a very unpleasant person. You know these two people aren't the same but you can't help feeling uneasy.

[she's honestly still a little shaken up about it. She's told herself over and over that this is the Doctor, who is a dear friend of hers]

Anyway, I don't know if anybody's read it, but Dr. Saunders wrote a report some years ago detailing this phenomenon.

Eleven in human years? I am afraid I do not understand the years of Men very well, being the hobbit I am. I am over fifty, yet some may think me in my early twenties.

[courageous_wit]

Yes, eleven human years old. That means before we reach puberty.

[unexpected_adventures]

Ah, I see. [At least, he thought he did.]

What sort of spells do you learn? I'm rather curious.

[courageous_wit]

Oh, all sorts. Offensive, defensive, charms, hexes... We also learn about various magical creatures and how to brew potions.
