Alicia smiled to Minerva and nodded. ”Yes, we will be using a sticking charms but honestly with fruit it’s a little hard seeing as some things like to stick more and less easily than others” she smiled over to her. But still the girl had answered – and she’d been especially polite while answering!
Alicia smiled over to the bright little
Something you like more? Alicia turned her eagle eye onto the plucky first year and just felt like hmphing at her. Just to make a point but she didn’t. She just shrugged and added “You could change the color of the fruit but for now were just going to focus on capturing the fruit in a time capsule of sorts”.
This girl looked rather sweet, kind, maybe shy? Alicia understood shy – heck she was about as shy as night blooming jasmine herself. Any light upon her and she’d hide away. “Yes if you wished to retain the smell of course – I know there are some fruits out there that I’d rather not want to smell all the time” she chuckled softly thinking of one, Durian. She loved it though it tasted rather good but it smelled of rotten onions at first scent.
“Ah yes you could create the jump hooks and connectors but today to safe time – and all of your poor hands trouble I’ve brought some with me today.” She smiled, over to him and realized indeed this one must be a Ravenclaw. Her niece had been one – she always loved Ravenclaws. They were just so, so smart.
Alicia nodded – yes rotten jewelry wasn’t good. However the coating would normally help it from rotting. Proper care would do the rest of course.
A preservation spell – she nodded indeed one of the spells would help to preserve them.
Alicia smiled at all the bright students who had given their answers. Some of course were spot on and others were well, not as close. With a light flick of her wand a chalkboard appeared in the front of the class with the spells that were to be used listed on the board.
When Alicia spotted Awar’s hand raise she felt her smile brighten. Hand raising was a wonderful sight to see not many of her former classmates had had the decency to raise their hands. Seeing times change for the better was, well, brilliant. She nodded as Awar finished her answer. "Yes indeed in fact everyone who brought up a spell to coat the fruit is entirely correct. Still, we are actually going to be using a little charm called the Glisseo what it does is basically freeze the substance and it serves to coat it in a glossy substance. That is actually what we will be using instead of Resin which is used in the mundane fruit jewelry process" she smiled softly.
"Oh wonderful deduction Miss Branxton" she smiled brightly. Even more so as she realized how many of the pupil here today actually spoke french. She missed it about as much as she missed - she was getting sidetracked.
Alicia nearly squealed with GLEE when she heard what Ira had brought up. This little girl was bright - bright eyed and bushy tailed and goodness she had sense. Messy wet fruit would never be good to deal with - you could slip and cut a finger. "Indeed, we will be using a Drying spell" she smiled over to her and looked around the room as she listened to the other answers.

"Alright everyone I know some of you may be wondering why Jewelry" she smiled to them all. With a laugh she answered her one question. "Its springtime - and we all know that means Mother's day is coming soon - why not just make something that ends up being free?" She nodded.
"Now students I have heat resistant cloaks and smocks here for anyone who wants to use them because we don't want to accidentally harm someone with a hot-air charm" burns were no fun. "And for those of you who want to capture a zesty fruit such as lemon or limes or other juicy and possibly stingy-juiced fruits I have protective eye gear for you on the wall." She knew now was the time to get S-E-R-I-O-U-S.
"Those of you who wish to create the fruit-trinkets in a mundane and non-magical fashion I do have a list of instructions that I can give you. The needed materials of this magical for and the mundane form can be found in the drawers of your work tables." She added quickly at the end. "Everyone please take the fruits you wish to work with from the cupboard here or the bin there and we will get started."
With a flick of her hand the instructions also appeared on the board.
Step 1: Collect Materials
Step one. Grab the fruit you want to use - and the protective eye gear or heat-resistant cloaks and gloves from the pegs on the wall if you do not have them with you at present.
Materials: (magical)
A Wand
Dragon-hide Gloves // Waterproof (if needed)
Protective Eyegear
Newspaper (to place fruit on when slicing)
Jump Ring (necklaces) or Ring & Earring Hooks
"When you return to your work tables we will begin by cutting the fruit that you have procured by using the spell Diffindo - if you need help with the spell come to me or ask a more senior student for aid." She would have said Ravenclaw but she didn't know maybe someone else would be as equally amazing at spells.
Ooc:
1. Grab ingredients & matterials
2. Grab fruit/veggie
3. Cut fruit (and practice Diffindo)

He shot a grin to his mate, Mick, then turned his eyes to the front as it was about to begin. Yep, jewelry.. he knew it.. Well, maybe it wouldn't be half-bad. At least it was botanical, which was pretty cool in itself..
The boy didn't venture any guesses about what sorts of spells they might use. He didn't have any idea on how to make jewelry.. and the answers provided by his classmates seemed valid enough anyway. The boy jotted down the spells that they would be using then went over to grab two cloaks and two pairs of eyewear.
Bringing them back to the table he and Minnie shared, Ethan glanced back up at the instructor. Mother's Day.. Well, that might be an idea. He certainly wasn't making any jewelry for himself so he'd definitely be making something to give away. Then he suddenly remembered something and glanced over at Minerva. Mother's Day probably wasn't the best thing for that teacher lady to say right then.. He heard Max say something about making a gift for any loved one. Ethan leaned over to Minnie and said with a smile, "I think you should make something for yourself.. I bet a strawberry bracelet would look beautiful on you." He would not be making something for himself however.. he was sure kiwi earrings would not suit him. Ethan glanced back over to her with a reassuring smile, hoping he had been quick enough to divert her thinking from dwelling too much on her parents.
Minerva listened as the teacher for the day started talking about what they were actually going to do. Making Jewelry, that sounded like it was going to be fun. It was at least something that wasn't going to require homework afterwards, well she hoped not at least. She liked doing fun things that weren't just regular classes and looking over to Ethan, it would be fun to work with him even if he might not enjoy making Jewelry as much as she was going to.
Minerva then heard the teacher say Mother's Day.. Oh... she had forgotten about that in that last few years, being here kept her mind away from some of the holidays at home. Looking towards the teacher she thought about that holiday and how much it changed over the last three years, wow three years.. Then it hit her.. It's march, it was three years this month. Shaking her head she thought is it was suppose to be a gift maybe she could make it for her grandmother. Then she saw Ethan coming back to the table not even realizing he had left, was her mind wondering that much. Smiling she saw he had gotten her supplies as well..
"Thank you, Ethan" Then she blushed a bit,
"Aww do you think? Well if it's suppose to be a gift, maybe I'll make it for my grandma." She smiled hoping to show that she was alright, she would be alright.
Minerva then got up,
"Maybe I will use strawberries, they always smell wonderful and are a pretty color." She got went over and got the strawberries and headed back to her table.
"Are you going to make something for your mom?" She didn't know his mom so she felt she couldn't help with ideas. Taking out her wand she carefully cut the strawberries to get started on her jewelry.
"Diffindo, Diffindo" Smiling at Ethan as she worked, this was fun as long as she didn't think of the Mother's Day part of it.
