With the main body of the constellation complete, Ben tried to visualize where the outward lines would come from. It took some manuevering of the pumpkin side to side to see it, finally keeping it where he wanted it to be. Where it would more accurately represent the collection of stars he was going for. Picking the locations of Markab and Scheat, the Gryffindor picked up his wand once more to finish carving.
"Punktumus." One semi-bent line coming out of Markab and to the left.
"Punktumus." Two more lines, one crooked and one straight coming out from Scheat in the southwest direction.
There...carving was complete and he was one to the writing. What special powers would the constellation carving give? Benny couldn't even begin to know. The only thing he thought of with a Pegasus was some connection to flying. So he sat down with some free parchment and began thinking long and hard on things, finally writing down a small paragraph as he went along.
Quote:
Pegasus is the constellation of the night sky named after the winged horse of Greek mythology. In our northern hemisphere, it is one of those seen in October, though seen more in the spring in the southern hemisphere. It is the seventh largest constellation and made up of at least 10 main stars as well as clusters. Enif is the brightest star within the formation, making up the 'nose' of the creature it represents.
The carving of Pegasus is supposed to give the carver improved flight, perhaps allowing smoother movements when flying on a broom. Charms casting is also improved though no known change is made up spells of other natures.
