 Step 5 - All done!
“Well, aside from one soft spot, you’re looking pretty good, little crab.” She carefully and slowly picked up her crab and sat it back into its cage. She was sort of going to miss it, for a while at least. She picked up the dark cloth cover and draped it back over the cage. Right as she did so, she heard a wffft of air and felt a spike in temperature by the cage. She looked down and saw her crab had set its cloth cover on fire!
She hurriedly cast “Augamenti!!” until the flames went down.
“Finite!” Okay maybe she was over missing this crab now. “After how nice I treated you!” she scolded the crab. She knew it had probably just been startled but that crab needed to learn some manners. The cloth was only singed, and now a bit soppy, but she thought it would be ok to let it air dry.
She looked back over to the professor and the boy with the crab clamped to his skin. Well at least my crab didn’t do anything that drastic, she thought thankfully. She rinsed off her supplies one by one until they were all clean again. I hope they wash these with soap later…seeing as we don’t have any right now… She hummed a little to herself as she brought her stack of supplies back to where she had gotten them, placed them on the table, and sat back down in the grass.
It was nice to be finished with her class assignment and enjoy the pasture a little longer before the lesson was over. I wonder what we’ll be doing next time. She put her head back and let the sun warm her face. She pondered the varieties of homework they could have for a hands-on class like this and hoped they’d be assigned a really interesting creature to learn more about. Then again she would enjoy her free-time if nothing was assigned.
