Hermione continued on with her offerings. She placed the petals she and Celesca had collected into a shallow stone dish, recessed into the Earth altar, and took out one of her candles. A quick Transfiguring spell later, a flash of flame from her wand and her face was soon suffused with a deep, warming, daffodil-yellow glow. She felt the heat of a blessing settle on her, as though someone had placed an invisible crown on her head, and she just knew she was doing this right.
