The Professor was already explaining the next step before Michael had had time to look around the classroom to see who was there and what they were doing.

He picked up his wand and pointed it underneath his cauldron. "Incendio." He said with quiet confidence. He waited a moment to make sure that the flame wasn't going to go out before moving to the front of the class to get his dragon heart.


SPOILER!!: Dima

'Cause he had traumatic experiences with fire, okay? Ones involving an Ollivander's shopkeeper and some hair. Ahem.

"Incendio. In-SEN-dee-oh." He repeated the words as Grayson said them, trying to trace a flame-like pattern above his cauldron burner while his current spell instructor stomped around like a giant. What was he doing? Huh? Was that part of the spell movement too?

Focus, Toussaint. "Incendio!"

And then there was fire! Except on no one's head this time.

"Thanks man! Dragon Boy can make fire now!" Yeah! He did another puny muscle man pose for the Slytherin, bringing his fists together and completing the image with a tiny growl before getting back to work. Right. Dragon-who-died-of-natural-causes heart time.

He amended his notes before getting a measure of a dragon heart. It was somewhere around two kilograms, but since Dima wasn't keen on playing with the heart of a dragon or fretting over something not needing precision, he went ahead and added it to his cauldron. Voila.

Finally. A BREAK.

Whew. This was like a brain workout. Gross.


After measuring out two kilograms, Michael carried the dish of dragon heart back to his desk, but not before taking a slight detour around his cousin's desk. He gave Dima a flick behind the ear. "You could have asked me to help, you know?" Geez!

He poked his tongue out at the younger Toussaint before finally making his way back to his own workbench, where he proceeded to add the dragon heart to the cauldron.
