Satisfied Neon West had his attention with his little demonstration. Which Aidan spent the next few minutes copying. Over and over and over again. It was COOL, okay?
He kept it up idly to himself until Bellaire started speaking again. And only then. The other students weren't as interesting, see?
His eyes grew wide in amazement at how much Bellaire could stuff into that tiny cup. Sure, he knew of the charm and what it did, but he never saw it IN USE. ...Could he fit inside that cup, too? He wasn't much bigger than a few cushions. Probably. Magnus Centrum, Magnus Centrum, Magnus Centrum, he repeated over and over in his head. THIS would be one WICKED spell to actually manage to execute. He bounced onto his feet to retrieve a cup and cushion, still repeating the incantation.
When he got back to his tent, he pulled out his wand and finally said the spell out loud, "Magnus Centrum," TAP. Then he attempted to stuff the cushion inside. Quite forcefully, too.
It didn't work. |
