Seamus blows up a feather

 

Everyone knows who Seamus Finnigan is: he's the Griffyndor wizard who has a propensity for having his spells randomly explode, usually leaving him singed and soot-covered.

Allow me to explain.

Clarifications

Mostly due to the US Thanksgiving holiday, I only made it to two classes last week. I'm already three classes in for this week (Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday) and have two more scheduled (Friday and Saturday) because I have a scheduling conflict Sunday. I'm really enjoying the opportunity to take so many classes, and am envious of a former regular classmate who used to live only a short walk from the studios. It would be nice if I didn't have an hour-plus of round-trip commute time and weekday parking fees.
