13. Flagrate

"See? Isn't it neat?!"

Lux smiled as she looked up from the spot on the carpet she was lying on. There was fiery writing floating in the air, and she had managed to do that herself after a little bit of practice. Now she was showing Teddy because he was her best friend, and she knew that he would probably get a kick out of it as well.

And she was right about that.

"What was the incantation again?" he asked from the spot beside her on the carpet. He was going to try it out for himself as well. It had seemed simple enough, as well as a neat way to write notes to people, he supposed.

"Flagrate," Lux said with a smile. Teddy would ace this with no problem; he was very smart and capable, and this was far from a difficult spell at any rate.

"fla-GRAH-tay... fla-GRAH-tay... fla-GRAH-tay..." The Ravenclaw repeated the incantation a few times before he was confident that he was saying everything perfectly. "Flagrate." As he spoke, he made doodles in the air with is wand, pleased to see that everything was showing up above him in a fiery red line.
