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.

Vivian peeked a little after ducking, and then saw her pesky pixie immobilised in midair. The Slytherin blinked and then carefully stood up now that her pesterer couldn't move a muscle. Ha! As the ever mature Fairfield she saw, Vivian stuck her tongue out at the pixie and then beamed at the older Gryffindor who had saved her and Sky from eternal doom. "Thank you so much, Miss Ava!" Apparently because the Headmistress didn't seem to care that two of her students were being attacked. Psssh, okay.

Then the fourth year turned over to her dorm mate, who thankfully had ducked with her "You okay, Sky?" Vivian asked because... well, she was the first victim of those annoying flying things. And technically was also the reason why this blonde was attacked, too. Though that would have been an annoying fact, the Slytherin chose to simply let this pass. She'd do better than scream and flail during a pixie attack next time, but she was determined to never let that happen again. Ugh.

Vivian gave Sky one last smile before going back to finish up her seed. But before anything else, she had to activate her bind rune first. She had stopped mid-chant when the pixies came distracting her from work. "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..." It was only followed by a faint glow, and the fourth year wasn't satisfied. "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... 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...." It took her three tries to get the glow that she wanted, which made the Slytherin smile before kneeling over.

Alright, so all she had left to do was cast that spell. Vivian took her wand out and pointed it at where her seed would be. "Herbivicus!" With the spell casted, her blue eyes watched intently at the soil that covered her seed and it sort of glowed. Huh? The blonde blinked as she saw her seed grow bigger... and bigger... and into a baby tree. Well, she wasn't expecting a mature one, really, but she was glad that her spell work was successful. Hooray!

She was done here. Her tree was grown, and she had gotten rid -- well, Miss Ava did -- of the annoying pixies. Vivian hopped up and slung her back over her shoulder. "Thanks for the lesson, Headmistress! And sorry for being so loud!" Literally. Vivian screamed way too much the entire lesson, and it was far beyond the loudness that was normal for her. Good thing she wasn't going to get in detention for it. That wouldn't have gone well with her Ravenclaw mum. Nope, definitely not.

Vivian Iona, out!
