As for the spells, Charlotte didn't need to practice these ones. Diffindo or Flipnsnipwitit. She knew both very well already, and was fully capable of doing them non-verbally too. She hopped up and went over to the box to pick out more fabric and cut outs and made quick work of cutting off some pieces, alternating diffindo and flipnsnipwitit and making sure to get the wand movements perfect - diffindo with the v and downward curve, and flipnsnipwitit with the karate chop style motion.

She wasn't particularly fussy about which bits to cut off, though she made sure the size was right. All in all Charlotte ended up with a whole range of colours and textures and bounced back to her seat with a rainbow stack, all ready to go.

She busied herself with the cutouts. Hearts and stars were good. And she went ahead with her thoughts from earlier from watching Henry with his heart cut out, and used suturis to stitch out their initials on each of the hearts too, her head bending over as she worked. By the time she was done, there were five star cut outs on various colours, interspersed with four hearts, each with variations of 'C.K + H.W = 4eva' 'Char <3s Henry' and the like. There. Done.

She nudged over to Henry and looked at him expectantly.

Once he gathered enough fabric and cutouts, Henry caught sight of Charlotte on her way to get her own supplies. He smiled at the finger wiggle and gave her a discreet one of his own as he headed back to his seat.

Now to get to work. Henry was planning on giving Char his heart before he knew they were going to be creating one large, collaborative piece. But he thought he could alter his plans slightly, still giving it the same sort of meaning, and maybe attach his finished piece to hers. Hopefully he did it justice though because it didn't seem that stitching spells were quite his forte.

He first laid out all his pieces on his desk, with his stitched heart square off to the side for now. Henry decided he'd stitch stars to the four corner pieces, leave the pieces in between those ones blank, and keep the heart in the middle. That seemed to be a pleasing design. He set about cutting the large piece of fabric into eight pieces, making sure they were all the same size as his original square and using a nonverbal Diffindo. Once they were all cut, he arranged them all in the design he envisioned.

Next, Henry started stitching the stars to each of four squares using Suturis Flagellum. It seemed to take quite a bit of time and patience to
finish all four of them, but he seemed to be getting a little better at it by the end, even if none of them looked anything close to perfect. He used the same spell to slowly attach each of the squares together, until he had a nine-square... well, square. Or close to a square, he supposed. Henry wouldn't say that he got everything lined up exactly but it was close enough. And a few finishing touches were left when he heard the ten minute warning.

He used Suturis next to stitch his name on the blank square at the bottom, under the square with the heart - Henry Whittebrook, Hufflepuff Class of 2094. At least that was legible. And for the heart in the center, he used the stitching spell to write Henry + Charlotte. Perfect. He smiled at his effort then looked up to see if Char would want to attach theirs together, only to see her already at his side.

"Hey," he grinned at her. "I was just going to go find you.." His eyes fell on her portion of the class quilt. "Wow... nice work. I really like what you did with it." He really, really liked all the additions she made with the hearts and stitched words. "I think it might go pretty well with mine, if you'd want to stitch ours together." He held his up to show her, knowing that her craftsmanship was much better but hoping she'd appreciate his effort.
