Owen’s grip tightened on my shoulder, and I couldn’t tell if that was because he was trying to restrain me or if it was because he’d become very tense "You have to undo the spell," he said with the kind of icy calm in his voice that ed and flounced down onto the sofa "I can’t"

"You can’t?" This time, I did shriek "You ic on an ily "Surely all of you are well aware of that I didn’t realize her iain so soon before I could undo it" She pointed her wand at Owen "If you weren’t so eager to get her away from the party, I would have had a chance to undo it before it was too late"

I couldn’t help but whiently, which made me feel a lot better I had to biteout an Ari-like coish brain caught up "We kno to take care of the iet Ari out of my brain if we did that?"

"Why, yes, of course!" she said "Anytime you need me!" He waved a hand, and she vanished instantly

I was beginning to feel light-headed "Why do we have to drag her into it?" I asked, resting ainst my hand "We know she’s incoht"
