SUMMER FOREVER A champion. Etta blushed even more, pushing a few stray strands of hair behind her ears. That was a bit too much because she really didn't think of herself as a champion but.. oh, well. At least, she was glad that people were supporting her. Made her feel a lot better even if she'd never admit it.
But then, when she watched the younger boy cast the heating charm.. she could tell there was going to be trouble. The wand movement was over-the-top and the flame would definitely end up being way bigger than necessary.. NO. What was he even DOING? "Derf.." She started to speak but within the next second or two, the flame started to get more intense...... she grabbed Derf's hand to pull him back but unfortunately, it was too late. There was butter everywhere. SCALDING butter.
Some of it had hit her on the right arm and it burned like CRAZY but before she could attend to it, someone seemed to be in more pain that she was. She turned to find Liv screaming and there was Mel who seemed to be crying as well.. She frowned, eyeing Derf out of the corner of her eyes. WHAT HAD HE BEEN THINKING? Her eyes drifted down to her arm, to the spot where the butter hit her.. and it was turning bright red with every second. Okay, the pain was getting intense. She really wanted to scold him for being so careless but she knew he'd feel bad about it anyway so let it go. "It's alright, Derf. Be careful next time, okay?" She whispered softly.
She gritted her teeth, trying to ignore the pain momentarily. Liv and Mel needed attention first. She waited for them to get the butter vanished off them first before she raised a hand. "Professor, I need help." Who knew scalding butter could hurt so bad?
