Just this item to go and Toby would call it a day, because three seemed like a sufficient number of things to successfully shrink before he could say he'd put in a good amount of effort. In any case, Toby's head was aching pretty bad now, and he didn't want to think about getting another set of objects; it was a lot better to view the task as being nearly finished. Soon he could get a headache draught, too, and if that was incentive for finishing up here quickly, he wasn't sure what was.

The telescope was bound to be a little trickier; his last two items had been simple and straightforward, whereas this thing had a lot of components that Toby suppose would make the job a little more complex. Also, Toby-logic dictated that 'cause the cushion and stuffed toy were squishy and fabric, they were easier to cast on.

Nobody ever said that Toby-logic made sense, okay?

The seventeen year old raised his wand again, twirled it once in his fingers out of habit, pointed it at the brass telescope, and cast his spell.

"Diminuendo."

PLINK!

Inexplicably, a super thin jet of white light shot out the end of his wand and bounced off the telescope. Toby quickly ducked out of the way to avoid it, and then turned his head to see it go straight up to hit the ceiling. Nothing much really happened, but the Hufflepuff did notice some trails of dust falling to the floor.

... That... was not supposed to happen. Why had that happened? NONE of that was on Toby's mental list of 'THINGS THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING'. He stared up at the ceiling a few moments longer, to make sure it wasn't about to collapse on him or something, and then glanced around the room to make sure nobody had... noticed that. Yep, shhhhh, don't pay attention to this corner of the room. Shhhhhhh, it's fine, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Toby would not be the next person to upset Quigley, okay?

Turning back to the telescope, Toby eyed it suspiciously. What was that about, dude? Maybe his concentration had been off? ... Probably. Yeah, that was most likely. Let's... go with that.

Okay then, one more time, WITH FEELING.

And focus.

And... hopefully a non-potentially-catastrophic result.
