 Lots of catch up
Kye walked into Charms class thinking about some of the spells she had seen in her book and wondered what kind she would be learning about today. As she walked into class, there were already a few people there and Kye stopped in her tracks. Confused, she surveyed them all at their... easels? What was this? Art class? She would think this was more something she would see by the music room, but sure enough she saw people from her class and knew she was somehow in the right place. Being curious and a bit paranoid, Kye read the directions thoroughly to make sure she wasn't missing some kind of point here. Was this a free day? She giggled when she looked at his painting... yea it wasn't what she would call a masterpiece.
She chose a vacant easel and looked at her supplies. Plenty of colors, plenty of opportunity. This was something Kye knew, but never thought she would ever get the chance to do at Hogwarts.
Hmm, finger paint though... She shifted her eyes back and forth, wondering how clean she could keep her clothes. She rolled up her sleeves and picked out a bright teal color and swiped across the canvas. There were light strokes on the top half, and she observed the color. Yep. She liked it. She smeared the color across, filling all of the space. She dipped her hand in some water and used a towel to take off the excess from her fingers. She used a dark blue to shade the top half of the photo and flicked white at it to create stars and a bit more for a crescent moon.
Very simplistic, but she didn't want to get too in detail with finger painting... It would only frustrate her because she didn't know how much time she had.
Finally the professor arrived, and gave them five minutes to use tools. Hmmm, she looked at her painting and decided to add a meteorite and a planet, perhaps Saturn? She drew it in and listened as others made comments, snarky and otherwise. At the next part, Kye was happy to hear that they would be using charms... yay!
"Animatae," she recited. She tried the spell, focusing on the meteorite, and watched as it started to shoot through space.
Kye wondered if she could take her painting home when it was dry. She made a mental note to ask the professor later. At his next instruction, Kye went to her next page and decided on a big cube. It would beeeee green? Blue. No, purple! Sure, why not.
"Figura cube," she said, imagining a purple 3-D cube. She loved illusions. 'Do you see this or that?' kind of things.
Ooh what was that?? You could change the colors of her hair and clothes and everything?! She wouldn't mind changing her own hair color... she would change her eye color too but it kind of freaked her out thinking of pointing her wand at her eyeball. Maybe once she got really good at it. But oh man she would be trying out different hair colors after this.
"Colovaria!" she said confidently. The cube filled in with purple. She was getting pretty good at this. She always got quite frustrated if she didn't get something on her first try. She created a few more shapes, some intertwined, and colored them all in. She had a little issue with patterns but after some reciting and timing (punctum polka punctum polka punctum polka...), she had a polka dotted triangle.
As she finished up another square, her ears perked. Wait what? Outside?
Kye walked out of class and glanced here and there, deciding where to go.
