Humming to himself, Jory headed up to his dorm. In his hand was the first vase he had transfigured down by the Lake. With its beaker like shape and blue and white flowers, Jory couldn't help admiring his handiwork.

Pushing his dorm door open with his left foot, Jory entered the now empty room. Looking around, the Puff tried to decide where to place the vase. "Should I put it by the window?'' he wondered. "No,'' he answered himself almost immediately. He wouldn't like to block out the view of outside.

"How about Oakey's table next to his bed?'' he asked aloud referring to his fellow third year Puff. As if the room could reply. Jory went over to the bed side table, shifted over a couple of things and placed the vase down. "I hope he wouldn't mind,'' he said to himself as he left the room.
