Ian took his wand and said Lumos in an attempt to locate his bulb. The light seemed to startle the bulb and it bounced straight at Ian's face. Before he could move, the bulb bounced on his forehead and up onto his back. Ian wasn't sure what to do now. If he moved, it might go farther away, but he couldn't see to grab it. He considered asking for help, but before he could, the bulb bounced up and away again. Ian quickly pointed his wand at the bulb Flipendo! . It hit the bulb and Ian was happy to see the bulb immobilized for a time. He went, took it in both hands and headed to the pot. He felt the spell wearing off and the bulb bouncing, bouncing, bouncing in his hand.

As soon as he got to the pot, he shoved it in the dirt and covered his hand and bulb with more dirt before trying to get the bulb buried.
