 Pet Space Rock Extra Credit - Post 1 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Fiyero took the meteorite he'd found in Professor Flamsteed's class out of his pocket. It looked just like a plain ordinary rock. If it was going to be his pet, it definitely needed something! Luckily, he'd heard that Professor Flamsteed had plenty of pet rock decorating supplies in the Astrophysics lab.
He gently laid his new pet on the nearest vacant table, his eyes scanning the supplies. There was every kind of decoration imaginable... paint, yarn, cotton balls, pipe cleaners. So what should he use first? Googly eyes were always a good place to start. Fiyero picked out a matching pair of eyes and glued them onto his meteorite, then added a red pipe cleaner for a smiley mouth. There, now his rock had a face... but it still didn't quite look finished.
He looked around and saw a pile of cotton balls that would be perfect for hair... if only they were black instead of white. Oh well, he could always just charm them to the color he wanted. "Colorvaria," he said, pointing his wand at one of the cotton balls; it instantly turned black. After repeating the spell on two more cotton balls, he carefully arranged them in a pompadour-like hairstyle atop his pet rock. Now for the finishing touch! After fashioning another red pipe cleaner into a rock-sized necktie, he was done.
Fiyero couldn't resist a smile as he stepped back to admire his handiwork. Now there was one stylin' pet rock! "Who's the coolest rock at Hogwarts?"he said, beaming at his new pet. "You are! Yes, you are..." His voice trailed off as he realized he hadn't given the rock a name yet. An idea suddenly came to him. "I know! I'll call you Gastone."
