So basically, Theodore wanted to set the train on fire? That was safe...
...
OHHHH! A rocket! Yeah, that made much more sense than setting the train on fire... EYEROLL. "Theodore, while I think a rocket would be really cool...and definitely worthy of a whole buncha points...I don't know where we'd get one." And more importantly, Ella didn't trust Theodore with fire...or a rocket. Especially in a classroom. "But um...the fire idea could come in handy if the tracks froze. That could be why the train crashed in the first place..." So good idea, Theo. Gold star and all that... "I'm not really sure I'm confident enough to use incendio, though. I'll use the Hot-air charm instead. That way I don't set us on fire." Heh. BUT SERIOUSLY, though.
Taking her wand out, Ella pointed it at the train tracks and performed the Hot-air charm, watching as a stream of hot air poured out from her wand. She made sure to heat all around the track, even using her wand to warm the tires of the train. There. That might come in handy.
"So um...you want to try the Locomotor charm again? It might work this time." Now that the track was de-iced or whatever.
CONJURE ONE. Theo sighed loudly at Ella. She was a THIRD YEAR now, so she should 100% be able to conjure up a rocket. Or transfigure one, or WHATEVER. It needed to be done. But anywho... he stroked his imaginary beard for a moment.
The hot air spell sounded like a good plan, he guessed. And it brought Theo to his next idea.
"
Okay, but... if it crashed, we should fix it, right?" Yes, right.
...
Theo pulled out his wand, took a deep breath and.... wait, he did know this spell, right? He'd read about it, sure, but he'd never practiced it much. "
Repair-eo." He said, but nothing. Of course, there was never anything GOOD that came out of Theo's wand. But he was SURE that the spell was said like that. "
REPAIIIIIR-YE-OLD-TRAIN." That was more frustration talking.
"
Repairo." Nope... "
Reparo." WHAT? The train made a little sizzling noise and then, it suddenly looked a lot more smooth and... well, fixed.
Theo beamed at Ella, then rested his wand on the desk. "
Okay, you do the locomotor spell, cos I don't think it will work for me." If he was being honest. Meanwhile, the notes....
