Post #4 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
In this particular day, Peyton arrived earlier than the days before. She followed procedure by putting on the lab coat as well as a pair of goggles, and quickly dashed to get her jar off the shelf. "Guess what?" she told the jar as she gently set it down on a table. The third year was out of breath due to having ran all the way from the dungeons to all the way up here. She wasn't even cranky about that, which was a first.
After regaining her breath, Peyton said, "I figured you needed a name and I didn't know what it could be. I mean, who names a star in a jar? But then I thought, I can't just call you star in a jar, so I thought of a name," she rambled. She took her notes out and set them next to the jar. "So, since you're so precious and take my breath away, your name will be Able. I looked it up, it means breath." It was neat, wasn't it? Able took her breath away, sometimes literally cos she had to climb all those stairs to get up here, so it fit.
She took her quill out and under her name she scribbled something under her name. This star's name is Able. There. Now Professor Funners would know it too. It was when she was done with that, that Peyton notice the red glow. "Oh, no. You're cold again?" Taking out her wand, she said along with the wand movement, "Dextrini Potitus!" Peyton expected it to go back to it's natural state like it had the day before, but it didn't.
Able was still glowing red. "Dextrini Potitus! Dextrini Potitus! Dextrini Potitus!" Peyton repeated the incantation several times, but there was no change. She frowned. Her wand couldn't have been broken. She's used it on some homework earlier that day and it worked perfectly. Was her Able broken? No. She's been taking care of it.
Going over her notes, she paused where it mentioned the increase and decrease of helium. "Oh." She knew what was wrong now. Able had too much helium. Oh noes, poor baby. Peyton got to work in an instant. "Deminugasalis!" she said, flicking her wand twice. The red glow faded a bit, but not completely. "Deminugasalis!" Finally, the red glow disappeared and Peyton sighed. She was going to need to work on her spells a bit more.
She stowed her wand away and decided this was enough for the day. Anyway, she'd have to look up a song to sing to Able. She needed to show little bit more love. Putting the jar back on the shelf and the borrowed things away, she dashed down to the Great Hall.
Food first.
