Once her name had been carved on the shell, it was time to pour some blood on it. So, she picked up the red vial from the table, obviously the blood, and poured a little bit on the shell. She thought there was enough on there, it looked about the same as what Professor Cassie had done. Now she just needed to put some big cracks in it so that she could actually do what she had to do and read it.

Gathering her wand again, after having carved her name in it, and reaching for one of the small pokers. Hehe poker. She wouldn't be so evil as to poke anyone with it. Especially not after she heated it up. Speaking of, she raised her wand to the tip of the poker, the end she wasn't holding, and said "Incendio," sparking a small and controlled flame from the end of it. She left it on there for long enough that the tip glowed a bit, but thankfully the heat hadn't radiated up the other end of the poker. "Finite," she said, and the flames disappeared. As soon as she put her wand down, she drove the tip of the poker down towards the shell, and saw some cracks appearing. They shot out from the point of impact, spreading out, and twisting around the shell. Perfect.
