Ashley gasped when she felt her magic suddenly spike. Her eyes gained a strong glow, and so did her hand. From the glow formed translucent tendrils that spread across the room and weaved through the circle. Ashley assumed the phenomenon wasn’t a usual thing that happened during a Vow-taking since even Snape looked shocked. Not that she cared at the moment. She was much too busy focusing on the voices that bombarded her mind. Nobody was speaking, she could see that, but by some miracle, she could hear how her friends marveled in awe. In all honestly, she somehow felt much more connected to them, almost as much as she did with Moko.
