"Right, so...uhhh....you wanna cast the charm? I mean I could, but I'm still getting to grips with this wand, and I don't want to blast your hand off by accident." She was still getting sparks occasionally when there should have been no sparks. One day she hoped the wandmaker's thoughts came true, and she mastered it.
"In fact you do that, while I get in the queue to grab some seeds, okay?"
The wand he had in his right hand felt more familiar now than it had when he first got it. He slipped the protective gloves onto his hand that would hold the bucket. Better safe than sorry he figured. He flicked his right wrist muttering the charm to make the bucket not catch fire he assumed.
"Ready whenever you are Dahlia."
He scooted closer toward the fire as more students got what they needed. He figured they worked well as a pair and should easily be able to finish the task at hand.
"Settling in okay?" He asked while they waited their turn to get the fire seed. If anything he had found that school was a great deal more fun than muggle school. His small talk was more to make the waiting to get into the fire easier.
