But there has to something for the decorations. Trying to show her badger-pride, she cut a badger sillouhette out and put it on the kite. She took out her wand and pointed the tip of it on the kite while saying, "Epoximise." The cut outs sticked instantly to the yellow paper, making the badger yellow-and-black instead of Black-and-White. "There," she said, "a really time-saving spell."
And now the strings. "Tied to the center of the frame," Janice repeated, trying to process it. "Where all the sticks meet?"
"Maybe the sticks do make then heavier but the tail will help balance it out,'' Jory said unrolling some yellow string. He tied a good length to the base of the kite.
"That's creative,'' he said as he watched Janice stick a badger on.
"I'm going to copy you and do something Huffie too,'' he added. He took some black and yellow paper and cut half of each so that when they were put together they formed a shield. Like the Hogwarts crest. Then, the Puff stuck the two pieces on using glue.
"There! Two Huffie kites.''
Now, the string tying jogged something in Jory's head.
"I just remembered something. First, you tie the string to the top left, right and center and then join then where the sticks meet.'' It was a good thing he remembered or else he would probably have not even gotten the kite more than a few feet off the ground.
