Elise honestly didn't know how she could've possibly missed the announcement on the Diadem, but she did. She'd entirely forgotten to go to the Astrophysics lab and to create her little star. Maybe it'd twinkle! But stars didn't twinkle. It was just atmospheric effects that made it seem to twinkle.

Whatever it was, it seemed like a lot of fun. Putting on her labcoat [a]that was too big for her[/s] and picking up a pair of goggles, she giggled. THEY LOOKED LIKE BUG EYES! Snapping them on, Elise was a little grateful that there were no mirrors around. She must look terrible.

Pulling out her notebook, Elise searched for the first step. Right. Picking a jar. Taking a random one, Elise uncapped it and drew out her wand. Pointing it at the inside of the jar, she muttered a quick "Scourgify". Twice, just in case the first one didn't work.

Grabbing a label, Elise stared at it for a moment. What was she supposed to write again? Oh, right. Her name, year, house and stuff like that.

Well, she DID like rabbits.

Anyway, now she was supposed to take the powdered helium and hydrogen and put them into the glass before MORE wandwork happened. So putting her wand onto the table she was working at, Elise took a tablespoon of helium and a tablespoon of hydrogen and put them in there before closing the lid.

Wand at the ready, she pointed it at the jar. "Fingeri Elementi," she muttered, performing the appropriate wand movement and stuff. Well it was a weird incantation but it seemed to work, since in the jar she could see the gasses mixing and then BAM!

It was a star. And a really pretty one too!

Too bad she needed to go have dinner. Reminding herself to check on the star later, she left the lab. BYE LAPIN. Elise'd see you as soon as she was done with dinner and homework.
