OKAY! Sophie felt ready now! Boucing vase! Boucing vase! She couldn't wait to have one of those! "Floreneo!" She exclaimed one last time. Yep, she was ready!

Grabbing her wand, she stood up in front of her desk to make it easier to point it down vertically. Professor Magnus wouldn't mind, right? A lot of students were still walking around getting thimbles and this kind of stuff. Right!

She had a big smile on her face and almost couldn't keep herself together. She reeeeeally wanted her vase to be all rubbery and bouncy!! Finally pointing her wand down at the thimble, she stared at the metal object for a fraction of seconds with wide eyes. Clockwise. Clockwise. OH, RIGHT! She shook her head and made the circular motion clockwise. She did it three times while moving her wand upwards. "Floreneo!"

The thimble seemed to be pulled up with the wand. But it was just Sophie's impression. What had really happened was that the tiny object grew longer as her wand went upwards. It was now a long, slim and crooked metal... thing.

??????

Sophie put down her wand and stared at it. That was definitely not a bouncy rubber vase. She had been so excited that her spell lacked concentration.

Sophie thought for a few moments. Would 'Reverto' work here? She pointed her wand at the metal... thing. "Reverto!" The metal object shrinked and was now a thimble again.
