First thing gobbled up by the fire? That old dry paperback book. It went POOF like a firework. Sparks floated on the air and soon the covers on the games lit up, followed by the games themselves. Toxic burning plastic and rubber soon filled the place and seeped out towards the hallways. Perhaps the smell would bring more people to help because fire is a hungry foe.
Better stop the spread or there might not be a place to come to work tomorrow. After the events up on level one in the Minister’s Office, it had taken Delyth a while to even calm down enough to actually do anything that was remotely helpful to anyone, such had been her annoyance at getting hurt outside the minister’s office. But, after getting her ankle healed and after having a shot of expresso, she was good to go! Ever since the news had trickled down that people were actually going to Hogwarts to fight, she’d been chomping at the bit to get there and help save the students that she helped put there and to actually help the parents who she’d been so incapable of helping up to this point.
Alas, it simply was not meant to be.
Just as she was about to leave level one, the faint smell of burning plastic and rubber had filtered towards her in a way that it just seemed too much to ignore. Or rather, it seemed too irresponsible to ignore and she was not that type of person. Sure, she’d leave early once in a blue moon but who could blame her? Working on Level One did that to you.
The sight that met her in the muggle technology centre almost made her wish she had though. The flames that were spreading like wildfire were a sight to behold. As she entered, her eyes went straight to the thick, black smoke that was emanating from the melted goo piles that had previously been the games consoles.
Wasn’t there a certain type of uhh…thingy that needed to be used to put out fires that had electronics in it or something? What had that cute muggle fireman said about fires when he had been talking to her? You know, like a blanket? No. That didn’t sound right. Something about deep blue eyes like the sea. It didn’t matter now. She didn’t actually see him after that because he seemed to interested in his reflection in the spoon of his desert.
Wand in hand, she did the only thing she knew how to. “Aguamenti” she shouted as she aimed her wand into the centre of the flames in an attempt to stifle the flames at the origin of the toxic smoke. |
