Hogwarts' students DIE? EDEN HAD JUST ALMOST DIED. DEATH BY BITEY FISH, APPARENTLY.
"....well. That sucks. Piranhas. Whooh. OF COURSE there's FLIPPING PIRANHAS!" she flailed in frustration and let go of Toby now that she had her footing, rubbing her forehead in thought. "We obviously need to do a bit of magic in order to get the water." That's what this class was. Testing their quick-thinking AND magical abilities. "So I think We need to...summon a goblet? Or rather....conjure a goblet? Can't we turn something into a goblet? I don't remember the spell..." That seemed to be Eden's MAIN problem. She could PERFORM well under the pressure--uh, yeah--but she couldn't REMEMBER the BLOODY SPELLS.
She flopped next to Toby and rolled on her back. "If I die out here, tell Phoenix I love him. And Cole Upstead. Oh--and Clara--also you should tell Evie, too--maybe you should owl my cousin, Iwin, as well--and my parents--" And Eden could have gone on, but she just...pretended to die, tongue stuck out and all.
Well.
Now was not the time for playing, McGee, but okay.
Piranhas. Right. Bitey Fish, pirahnas. Tomayto, tomahto. THE POINT WAS, THEY WERE BITEY.
'... Need to do a bit of magic in order to get the water...' Well, yes. But what? Toby wasn't sure if he was meant to transfigure the bitey fish into something, or perhaps change the water somehow? But... the fish would still be an issue.
"Summoning is a charm, that's not what she wants us to do." Soooo... conjure a goblet? Was there a spell for that?
But Toby was disturbed from his musings by Eden McGee... losing her mind. He looked around from where he'd been staring longingly at the water in the pond, and stared at the Ravenclaw with THE WIDEST OF EYES. WHAT. DYING. UM. NO.
Toby wasn't actually sure if Eden really WAS dead, because he wasn't paying a lot of attention. He was still thinking about how he only knew a few of the people she'd mentioned in her 'last words' and HOW he could communicate the news of her passing to the others. And then he realised what she was doing and shook her shoulder roughly.
"SNAP OUT OF IT, MCGEE! Don't you dare DIE on me."
More rough shaking, which then very abruptly STOPPED, because Toby had an idea. He'd seen a little froggy friend chilling out nearby and watching their interaction. At first he'd been worried it was going to jump into the pond and get EATEN, when was what made him hurriedly pick the little thing up.
"Hey buddy." Easily distracted. Yes.
"... Wait, hold on."
...
"Eden... EDEN. We can transfigure them! Animals to water goblets, remember?" He looked at her.
"And... and then change them back after. C'mon, find a frog or something so you can drink from it."
Toby still had his wand out from the locusts and mosquitos, and he wasted no time in pointing it at the frog.
"Sorry little guy. This is temporary though, I promise." Then he tapped thrice and, thinking and producing a WATER GOBLET and scooping up WATER to QUENCH HIS THIRST he cast the spell.
"Vera Verto!"
