He looked fine, didn't he, all ready to be ordered around into funny shapes and gymnastics moves? She thought so.

Wait. "But yours isn't going to work," she said decidedly, grabbing Lex's wrist and stopping her from moving the wand again. "You said it wrong, it's Piertotum, not Piertotem." Alice nodded at her seriously before saying the incantation herself, wand out. "Piertotum Locomotor." The stone seemed to shudder just a bit, like a ripple was moving through it, before it halted again and waited for further instruction.

"Um. Do a somersault." She watched it expectantly and waited for it to do one, brightening visibly when it did. "Think he can do a cartwheel, too?"

"I have three of those, one up in my dorm if I remember correctly." How was she supposed to remember where she kept most of her stuff? There was a reason why Aidan was keeping her cutlery for her, you know.

But that wasn't what she was occupying her mind with now, she was more focused on the fact that the gargoyle wasn't doing what she said. It was two seconds away from being called rude but just as she raised her wand again Alice had caught her wrist.

Oooooohhhhh.

"I guess that would explain it..." She lowered her wand slowly and watched Alice animate her own stone gargoyle. She tried again. "Piertotum Locomotor!" This time, it did move. It did more than move actually because it was back to that lazy stretching it had done back in the classroom. It got a look from her before she turned to Alice again. "Give it a try, just not near the edge of the table, if he falls he might break." And she didn't think Professor Bellaire would have appreciated that very much.

Lex jabbed hers in the stomach--not hard but the jab was there. "Try a cartwheel with Alice's." And this was were it waited on Alice's so they could be in sync.
