Text Cut: Pixie Madness otherwise known as a distraction from Runes focus! Quote:

Except that there was a chaos happened not too far from her position and kind of attracted her eyes.
Oh, Merlin. Pixies versus two Slytherin girls.
And she did recognize those girls, so she decided to offer some help because... Why not? She had finished her work and defeating Cornish Pixies wouldn't be that difficult. All she needed to to was just shoot them with freezing charm but Ava needed to be careful or otherwise her spell would hit the girls. "Skylar, Vivi, duck!" The Gryffindor commanded as she aimed her wand at the pixies. "Immobulus persequoris!" She carefully sent the spell and hopefully the homing spell would help defeating the annoying creaturesm

Vivian screamed a little more when a pixie, that tiny pesky thing, came zooming over to her and she flailed her hands up, trying to swat it away from her. "Leave me ALONE!" The Slytherin said, a little bit annoyed at the pixie kicking at her. And she only had fifteen minutes left to do her plant thing? How was she supposed to do that with an annoying flying creature attacking her? "I need to finish up my plant. Get away!" The blonde sort of punched in the air, hoping it had hit the pixie, causing it to fly away. All she could do was hope.
Wait, duck? "Quack?!" Vivian's blue eyes looked at her side to see Ava rescuing them. Oh, she didn't actually mean an legit duck... but thank Merlin for Ava being their lifesaver! The Slytherin did as commanded and dropped to her knees, tugging on Sky's arm to duck with her as well and covering her entire head with both her arms as protection.
Move over, pixies! Quote:

Maybe shouting "leave her alone" was overdoing it, but did Skylar really hold it against her when she'd saved her from the monster last year?? Kitty thought that would have brought them closer. It looked like she didn't understand her classmates as well as she'd thought.
Putting away her wand and feeling dejected, the Ravenclaw prefect went back to her spot at the bottom of the hill and tried to get back to work on her runes. In the background she heard the drama with the pixies continuing, but she was ignoring it.
Her hand shook as she brought up her wand for the second rune. Pointing at the spot where Berkana was, she shouted "Intaglio Inguz!" Nothing appeared. "Breathe," she muttered, taking a deep breath to try and calm down. She could talk to Skylar later after class.
"Intaglio Inguz!" This time it worked, appearing right over Berkana. Only one more to go... Quote:

One looked up when the spell was casted, and it let go of the girl's hair and tried to shout something at its comrade but ... blink, blink. It couldn't move. It was just floating in the air now.
The second pixie buzzed around again, swinging its foot back for another kick. Only, instead of kicking the girl, all it kicked was air. She had ducked. Angrily, noises left its mouth as if it were cursing as it turned around and dove full speed at her. But then it stopped moving all of a sudden.
Blink, blink. This wasn't any fun. Party poopers. Skylar had been busy flailing around like a mad woman, trying to rid herself of the pesky annoyances that was pulling her hair out and swatting ridiculously at them when she heard her name shouted. Duck? Were they playing duck, duck, goose now? It took for a moment for the fourth year to react and actually, she probably wouldn't have, had it not been for Vivian tugging her arm down. "Huh?" Oh. Following suit of her roommate, she fell to the ground, crouched in a fetal position.
And a moment later, her hair didn't feel like it was being pulled out from her head any longer, as she peeked over at Vivian first to mouth an I'm Sorry and then at the immobilized pixies. Well thank merlin for Ava, at least someone had sense to not only immobilize the attackers, but to warn them so they wouldn't accidentally be hit. Yes, she'd heard Kitty in the midst of the commotion of her plea about trying to help, but for some bizarre reason she didn't trust the Ravenclaw Prefect's judgment. To the fourth year, it seemed she was always hindering her intentions, which she supposed started with Salazar Slytherin.
Ah well, it was all taken care of now. Could she get back to her runes? "Thanks," Sky muttered to the Gryffindor, as she stood up and brushed the dirt from her skirt. Now time to find her pine bracelet again ... where had she been working again? Oh right, close to the groundkeeper's hut.... Heading in that direction, the snakette kept her eyes down in hopes of spotting it dropped on the ground. It couldn't have gotten too far, right? It wasn't as if it was that windy....She supposed she could just grab a blank one. Would she have to re-carve berkana onto it if she did find her old one?
Oh, there !!! Falling to the ground in a bowing position, she hugged it when she found it. "Thank merlin!" Because there, carved onto it neatly was one lone Berkana rune. "Intaglio Ingwaz!" she pointed at the carved rune, and ingwaz carved itself over it. "Intaglio jera!"
Now time for the galdr. Focus, Skylar. "berkano berkano berkano, ingwaz ingwaz ingwaz, jera jera jera, bub a bi be bo, ung ang ing eng ong, j j j e e e r r r a a a" she chanted softly, repeating it a couple times, trying desperately to focus and not think about the ordeal and if she lost any hair follicles. How did Brent concentrate on recalling these galdrs in the midst of the crises of those competitions? Of course he was just dealing with single rune galdrs, not bindrunes, but still... they were so random and definitely required concentration.
It glowed, but quickly dulled, and the fourth year frowned. "berkano berkano berkano, ingwaz ingwaz ingwaz, jera jera jera, bub a bi be bo, ung ang ing eng ong, j j j e e e r r r a a a" she chanted again and finally. A lasting glow. "Herbivicus!" Over where she thought she planted her seed, except with the distraction she was actually off about a foot, so as was to be expected for being in the wrong area, nothing happened. "Herbivicus!" Again, nothing. Eh, it would grow eventually, wouldn't it? Was this lesson over yet? Because no offense, but she was kind of over it. She would see about figuring it out proper later, in some spare study time.
