All right, protective gloves and robes, got it. Emmanuelle grabbed those two items and slipped them on quickly before pulling out her wand. Picking up a strawberry slice, she moved it away from the others slightly and aimed at it. "Aestus Aere!" she cast while flicking her wand downward. Nothing happened. Em tried again and still nothing happened. Agh, this was so frustrating! She decided to try one more time and finally got it to work. Being very careful, Em dried all her fruit slices. Then she used her quill to poke out holes in the slices. Feeling that her fruit was, indeed, too soft she cast the Duro charm and felt it. Perfect!
