Now that he had his stone he had another decision to make before he made his pendulum: smudging or water dousing? Water was what one tended to think of when thinking of cleaning…unless one took into account the magical aspect of it. Then Septimus leaned towards the sage smudging because of the fire connection. Even if the fire wasn’t actually coming into contact with his stone. So he moved to the table with the bundles of sage upon it in various stages of use.
He took a new bundle to call his own, setting his jasper down temporarily as he took out his wand as well. “Incendio…” he cast at the tip, lighting it on fire, being sure to keep it small. Quick enough he blew it out, setting down the wand in favor of the stone. Into the smoke went his stone one…two…three times.
There, his stone was smudged and cleaned so it was onto the other table. He found a piece of cord that seemed a good length, taking that and some wire to work on creating his pendulum. Septimus watched a couple of classmates attempt their own to see the best way to do it. A tight twist of wire to house the jasper and then the one end of wire connecting to the leather cord. It certainly looked good in comparison to the professor’s so he went back to his seat to await what came next.
