SPOILER!!: Pinata person & macaw

Text Cut: Jenovick

The five swallows abruptly stopped circling their caster’s head at the sound of the Oppugno spell and sped toward the right snake pinata. They flanked it from all sides, pecking and tearing into it. Soon the snake pinata broke in half, sending candy spilling out.

The macaw shook its head, answering the girl’s question with a loud SQUAWK! No, it didn’t eat candy. It was content with the attention it was getting from the girl. It gave her a gentle peck as if to say, pet me, hooman!

Norman silently considered Miss Donovan’s answer for a moment. He half-expected her to say something like a falcon or peacock - big or showy types of birds that were more difficult to conjure, especially for beginners - but she said a starling. Not a huge bird, but not a tiny one either. He shook his head. “No, not at all,” he replied. “Just sometimes when you’re having trouble, a change of pace helps. Try visualizing a different, smaller kind of bird next time, and if you still can’t do it, you can practice Oppugno on these…” He cast a nonverbal Avis, and a flock of blue and red birds appeared.

Elsewhere, he saw Miss James also struggling and said, “Same goes for you, Miss James. Try visualizing a different kind of bird, and if you still have trouble, you can use the birds I’ve conjured to practice Oppugno.” With a wave of his wand, more birds appeared near the girl.

Norman watched as the Slytherins from The Room grabbed their candy with a strange mixture of triumph and apprehension, his blue-green eyes constantly scanning the area for any signs of the hooded horrors. So far, he saw none, but he wasn’t letting his guard down. He instinctively gripped his wand, ready to react at any moment. What if they caught him by surprise? What if he didn’t act fast enough? He mentally shook himself. Self doubt wouldn’t accomplish anything!

The sound of another pinata breaking caught his attention, and he turned to see the right Slytherin pinata on the ground. “That’s two down. Nice work!” he said, flicking his wand at the broken snake pinata to reassemble it. “All other Slytherins, come get your candy.” He was slightly less worried about this group. Even if there were hoods lurking unseen, surely they wouldn’t care about purebloods being rewarded.

Norman glanced at his watch. Merlin, was that the time?! They’d have to wrap up soon, so the kids would have time to get their candy before the hoods came back to escort the prisoners! “YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES LEFT!” he announced.

OOC: As of now, 2 pinatas (both of the Slytherin ones) have been busted. Both pinatas have been reassembled (sans candy) for those who still need to complete the activity. You have JUST UNDER 11 HOURS left.

However, she was a tad disappointed that her spell seemingly didn't work so she was determined to rectify that. It was time to try a smaller species of bird so in her mind Fiona pictured a swallow. When the characteristics were vivid in her mind, the Snakette moved her wand in the form of a bird before casting, "Avis!" After a BANG and puff of smoke, a quintet of swallows circled her head. Aiming at the pinata, Fiona concentrated and said loudly, "Oppugno!" The five swallows abruptly stopped circling their caster’s head at the sound of the Oppugno spell and sped toward the right snake pinata. They flanked it from all sides, pecking and tearing into it.

Back that way,’’ came the words out of her mouth before she knew what was happening. That is, her mouth worked faster than her brain in that instant. It didn’t matter. The first macaw landed on her shoulder. Despite herself, Claudine smiled. “Hi there.’’ This was a typical behaviour of hers, talking to animals. Eyes back on the second macaw, she watched with her breath held as the tropical bird bit the head of the pinata. Said pinata broke which left the girl shocked. Talk about her luck changing during the course of the lesson. And among the parchment, she spotted the sweets. Sugar quills! Claudine scooped up a few of the Quills and some jelly slugs for Heath. “You don’t eat any of these by chance?’’ she asked the macaw on her shoulder. The girl didn’t expect that it did.
