"It would be a stronger centre of mass if it were, and your spellwork would be easier. Consider weighing it down with something and see if that helps."

........... Huh?

Lucas tore his eyes away from the setup in front of him and glanced up at the sound of the voice. It was safe to say that he was completely taken aback by Sandhu standing near him, much less talking to him about his recent attempt at the spell. Maybe that’s why it was taking some time for his brain to register what the women was saying.

OR! He was too busy thinking. That was another possibility.

Blinking several times, he glanced between her and the setup and then back again. His mouth formed a small ‘oh’ at the words ‘stronger centre of mass’, and he even picked up his pencil case to test her theory. "Yeah....... yeah, that’s a thought....." His voice trailed off as he started reaching into his bag, this time fishing out anything small but heavy enough to weigh down the pencil case. A book? Wouldn’t fit. A roll of parchment? Probably not. There wasn’t anything in this bag that was small enough to-

Oh! Oh hey....... his watch would work, right?

He let the bag fall and started undoing the watch on his wrist before placing it into the pencilcase. There was a small pause as he just looked at the watch in there, sitting right next to some other quills. As long as something didn’t happen to it........

..........

Not the time.

Taking out his wand, Lucas cleared his throat again and sat up a little straighter. Kre-ah-re OR-bis. Kre-h-re OR-bis. "Creare Orbis!" he called, tracing the quill vertically and then giving the pencilcase a tap. Maybe it was the way he said the incantation, or the fact that he really didn’t want to have to ask his mum for a new watch if something happened to this one, or MAYBE Sandhu’s theory was right all along. Whatever the reason, his quill did more than twitch: it was now circling around his pencil case, almost like a miniature version of a model of the solar system - if it only had one planet and nothing else. Which is a very boring solar system.

But that didn’t matter because IT WORKED!

"IT WORKED!"

..........

................

Ddhskdhsh! He clapped a hand over his mouth, his eyes wide. Oh merlin oh merlin oh merlin. "I mean, it worked."

Oh Merlin, let him sink into the floor, please.
