Hogwarts RPG Name:
Asher Stinson
Second Year
Default Astro assignment 1 post 1

With marshmallows in hand, Asher headed out into the courtyard to begin his assignment. The weather was crisp and clear, a perfect day to toast marshmallows by the power of the sun. Felling a little chill in the air, he wrapped his robes around himself and gently sat his things on a bench.

Before he began, Asher fixed his magnifying glass on his wand and practiced the Solis Focus spell a few times before trying it out for real. Knowing he wanted to be able to find Delphinus and Corona Borealis that evening. He figured the easiest way was to have an example of the constellations to look for.

Asher pulled out a large plate and placed the marshmallows in the shapes of the constellations. If he were to leave the marshmallows as they were, they would roll around and not hold their positions. His fix for this was to toast the marshmallows. This would make them stick to the plate and offer him a snack when he found the stars in the sky.

After checking the fit of the magnifying glass on the end of his wand, Asher commanded "Solis Focus!" The marshmallows started to swell and brown on the plate, offering a most delightful smell, and sticking to the plate. Both constellations were properly toasted and ready to be taken to the grounds that evening.
