Now for her third arrangement, Alyssa decided that she would pick a little more complicated design for the vase. It would have a basic vase shape, but Alyssa wanted top edges of the vase to be scalloped and curved. She also wanted the glass surface itself to have a floral design on it. So she first drew out the design and decoration of the vase on a piece of parchment. Once she was satisfied with it, Alyssa looked at it and memorized the design. She concentrated on it long and hard before picking up the last thimble and placing it in front of her. At least one good thing about a spell is that if the vase didn't come out the way she wanted it, she could always revert it back and do it again.
Alyssa looked up when she saw Alec. "
Hey Alec, you are looking very handsome over there. Are you going on a date?"Alyssa asked him. "
Hey do you have a second? You are my lucky charm and right now I'm making a very complicated design and sure could use all the luck I can get."she told him.
She then turned back and looked one more time at the drawing in front of her, Alyssa then closed her eyes and concentrated on the delicate designs and decorations that she had drawn, the shape of the vase and the spell itself and what she wanted it to do. Once she was sure that she was ready to transfigure her most complicated vase ever, Alyssa opened her eyes, took in a deep breath and released it to help her relax herself and picked up her wand.
She pointed her wand vertically downwards as close to the thimble as possible. In a clockwise circular motion, Alyssa swished her wand upwards and outwards from the thimble. '
One....Two....Three....'..."
FLORENEO" Alyssa said the incantation.
A beam of light shot out from her wand and shone all around the thimble. When the light disappeared, in it's place stood a
beautiful glass vase looking exactly like what she had designed on the paper. Alyssa wanted to reach out and kiss Alec for he had been her lucky charm. But she just reached out and pinched his cheeks instead.
"
Thanks Alec. You definitely are my lucky charm,"Alyssa told him smiling at him. "
Now let's hope that it doesn't leak. Cross your fingers." Alyssa picked up her wand and pointed it inside the vase and said "
Aguamenti" filling the vase with water. Once there was sufficient water in the vase, Alyssa ended the spell by saying,"
Finite". She then closely examined the vase to make sure that the vase wasn't leaking. When she didn't see any water spurting out or dripping from the vase, Alyssa wanted to reach out and pinch Alec's cheeks again, but since it was already red, she decided to give him a reprieve.
Now for the floral arrangment. She arranged the remaining yellow and pink roses in the vase. Then she picked up the stalks of flowers that had red seeds on them and stuck them among the roses. Then she arranged the blue lilacs next before picking up the leaf stalks and arranged them in strategic positions all along the arrangement. All she had left was the maroon looking flowers. She placed them in between the other flowers and moved them around until the arrangement looked evenly spread out.
Alyssa sat back and looked at her
last and final arrangement and nodded her head. She was satisfied with this arrangement too but most importantly, she was done with the second part of the homework assignment. The last one would be the easiest and that would be to place these vases somewhere in the castle.
