Charms Challenge numero dos! Tenacius Salander reporting for duty!
The Curly Top couldn’t help lean in near the door for a moment though, trying to listen in whats behind the door. So far he couldn’t hear anything that sounded like screaming for help like last time, although there was some kind of activity he couldn’t quite place. Alright instructions, yes he will read them before ramming his arm on a closed door again.
And closed door this was again. And blue green eyes grew large in surprised upon reading that pixies were whats causing the commotion on the other side of the door. No fire or anything? Good. Or not good. It means he'd be dealing with creatures that are notorious for not wanting to be caged. But of course this challenge is #Tenaciusly accepted!
He took out his wand and with a reverse S wandstroke he uttered "Alohamora." Door clicks open. But with the next wandstroke he uttered "Protego!" creating a shield charm to act as a protective barrier as he enters through the doorway. No one gets out you little troublemakers.
And from behind the magical barrier he looks up. Ten of them alright, a few of them looking at him and trying to work their way around him. Shutting the door behind him, he held onto the shield barrier as he thought of what to do next. They were all over the place!
But soon enough his Protego shield faded and the pixies made their move. Stay steady stay steady... Come closer to me.. Closer closer-- NOW! He suddenly dropped to his bum as he flicked his wand with two pointed strokes and yelled out "Immobulus!" And the pixies that wouldve been picking at his ears had been suspended, dumbfounded and immobile in the space where he had stood. He counted them-- four lil buggers. Haha score for the Salander boy!
He picked up the cage and promptly collected the frozen pixies, closing the cage door and setting it aside. The problem with that move is that the other six has witnessed all of it, and now they were starting to scamper away. Normally he'd laugh and yell for them to run for the hills, but no, his task was to collect all of them. He was the Collector heh.
He ran about this way and that, trying to corner as much of the pixies as he could. But they were just pretty darn fast, and his Immobulus spells were missing their mark. Even as an energetic Gryffindor that he was, he was already getting exhausted. So right, lets even out the playing field eh? He whipped out his wand and with the wand stroke he uttered "Arresto Momentum" in as wide a stroke as he could muster, trying to cover as much blue flying pests as he could.
It worked!
The pixies, which were all zipping about two seconds earlier, now looked like they were flying in slow motion. The leonine lad had to laugh. Is this what the Flash sees the world when he's super fast? Man he can get used to this.
The ones he can reach out by hand he collected, making light of the situation even, as the pixies practically flew slowly into the open cage. The others still high above his head he collected with the help of "Carpe Retractum" drawing them nearer to him like a prized bull fighter.
Was that everything? That looked like everybody eh?
And last but not least. Stick the cage onto the floor. He drew his wand around a spot on the floor with an "Adhaero." and also to the bottom of the cage for good measure. And down the cage went, with him pressing it down to make sure it sticks.
All done? No fire damage? Nothing else that needs rescuing? Well his tummy needed rescuing. Running after pixies was no joke, and he can hear the rumbling of complaints in his guts that it needs nourishment!
Tenacius took a last look at the instruction-- oh don’t lock the door this time? Just close it? Aye aye Proffesah.
And with that, the Gryffindor Ace exited the room, closing the door behind him. |
