As she heard the door swing open, the girl turned her head and saw her bestie entering. ‘I… was expecting you’ she said on a very serious tone.
‘Well… you can… observe?’, Gwen said and clapped her hands together. But- ‘Actually. Hold Jinx for a second’, the girl went on talking, passing the fluffy hairball to Ariadne. Then she took out her wand and pointed it at the cat. ‘Calm down. I won’t hit you’ Actually… ‘Errr… you know what? Better put him down’ What? Just in case…
Right. The incantation-Multicorfors… Multicorfors, she repeated a fe times in her head. Well, perhaps Lewis was right. The incantation seemed to be fine. ‘Ready?’ Now watch and learn.
Observe. Right. She could do that. Ari could sense some nervousness on Gwen's part but decided not to comment on that, trying to avoid Gwen snapping at her.
'Hold him? Suuure.' the Gryffindor said, a bit too eager to please. Jinx wrestled in her arms for a while, but eventually gave up and nestled himself against her. He surely had no clue what was about to happen.
When Gwen pointed her wand towards them, it dawned on Ari that the spell might hit her too. What if she turned into a cat?!? That wasn't very likely to happen, but nothing compares to the vivid imagination of a child. Mercifully, Gwen suggested she put the cat down. Ari let out a deep breath she didn't know she had been holding.
Her throat constricted when Gwen asked if she (or the cat, who could tell?) was ready.
'Go on then.' Ariadne said bravely, very unlike the way she actually felt. Fighting the urge to cover her eyes with her hands, Ari watched her friend.
