She made her towards the fire figuring her partner was right along with her as she had been the rest of the way. And look! There in the flames!

It was fireseeds!!

“Jackpot…” she said excited, kneeling before the fireplace as she thought back to the lesson they had had on the fire seed collection. Oops….she had forgotten something to collect them with. “No pails…” she mused with a sigh, the sixth year biting her lips as she tried to think a way out of her…their dilemma. Cass dug into her bag of supplies for ideas, finally coming along a sample jar. Not quite big enough….yet. Setting it out on the floor, she took out her wand and focused on the image of a pail and tested her transfiguration. Then with the fish-like wand movement, she cast the switching spell which thankfully worked leaving her relieved.

Now for the preparation before collecting.

“Chaudensis!” she cast on the new pail, willing it to warm up quickly so they could move on. At least she hadn’t forgotten her gloves in the protective gear she had on.
Seeing more people from potions class here made Skylar realize that they were in definitely in the right place. Or everyone was wrong. But then, hearing Cassandra's explanation of Jackpot! Oh, so they were all right, then? Wait, no pails? "I beg to differ." She might not have been the critical thinker that her Ravenclaw counterparts were, but she was excessively organized. Or well, the sixth year had another idea which was to use a sample jar and transfigure it. That worked too. But she did have a pail in her supply bag, to which she removed...

"Chaudensis," She casted on the other pail. And then donned her gloves to prepare to reach in pluck fireseeds. Only, she froze up as her gloved fingers were inches from the flames, recalling the burns two years ago. Why was she able to so effortlessly conjure fires, but when it came to sticking her hands in fire, she couldn't do it?

"I ... I can't..." Skylar whispered.
