Bella is picked up from Charlie's house at the end of the summer, her visits with various people and her other parents having concluded a couple of weeks previous. She feels very worldly as she gets on the bus and is inspected by the new sixth-graders. The bus trundles along to the Bay Cauldron, and she does her shopping, and helps one of those sixth-graders pick an owl, and then they all arrive at ACAAM.
She goes to her and Sherlock's room to drop off her belongings and let Euterpe out.

Bella points, waves her vine wand, and speaks the incantation.
The Charms teacher has read Feral's note from Healer Song, and says that he can get a passing grade for the day's assignment if he submits a one-page essay on Cheering Charms that is not "conspicuously plagiarized from the textbook".
"...Seriously? Okay, fine," says Feral.
He starts writing.

The other three continue their practices. Bella tries both wands; it's easier to get the spell off correctly with the vine, but the hazel has more oomph. The charm continues not to work on her, but she seems to be having a good time anyway.
By the end of the class, Feral is the only student who has not successfully cast the charm, but he does have his essay written.
His handwriting is terrible.

Bella giggles. "Is there a handwriting-fixing spell the teachers know?"
Feral shrugs.

"It's a pity computers don't work here or we could type our written assignments."
Class comes to an end. The teacher collects Feral's essay.

Feral cheerfully heads off to Herbology.
He laughs.
Classes pass. The four of them have Magical Defense together, and they're doing Disarmament again, which means Feral gets to show off his note and then be Disarmed a lot.
Then, lunch!

"Kind of," he says. "We didn't learn much. I wrote down some stuff."

"What not-much did you learn? Magizoology was about Kneazles today."
