Peeves!
That bloody poltergeist was so darn annoying at times. After checking to make sure he hadn't been one of the landing places of the flying worms, Gideon waited until it all seemed to calm down and the ghost was gone. Thank Merlin. Now back onto the lesson, the seventh year discretely eying the creature in its cage beside him. Any more trouble and he was sure someone was gonna get burned.
The prefect turned his full attention back to Professor Newlin as she brought them back, briefly explaining what they needed to know to attend to their task of cleaning the firecrabs. Gideon nodded as he listened to show understanding of the steps, briefly glancing up at the list that the woman summoned. For good measure, he copied them down in his notes so he could refer to them as he went along as well as look back at them after class.
Right...first order of business was the gloves, he mused, slipping them onto both his hands before moving to carefully open the cage of his charge. He made sure to give no sudden movements not wanting to frighten or anger it in anyway lest it attack. Then reaching inside, Gideon gingerly lifted the firecrab from his home to the bucket at his feet, slowly letting go once the creature was settled. One part done...now for the precautionary measures, his wand removed from his pocket.
"Aquamenti!" he cast letting the water cascade down into the bucket. Gideon did his best to keep a control over the flow. "Finite," he finally added once the water level was high enough. He looked back at his list for anything more and found the note about inspecting the shell, the seventh year putting his wand away and bending down to let his hands lightly brush across the surface to do just that.
