That's what the Slytherin loved about his friend; she was into making all sorts of ruckus too. This added to the level of friendship that he saw between the two of them. Kayne typically gravitated towards people who were just like him, always up to no good. Even though this could theoretically be seen as the greater good, but still. The means of achieving said goal wasn't typically how most people would go about it, and the secretiveness behind their plan only added more to the puckishness of it all.

Getting close enough to Ash so that way when he casted the spell, she would be in the bubble with him, Kayne drew his wand out from his bag. Hearing that she wanted to learn it, a smile formed. The boy was delighted that she'd want to also know this spell, however Kayne noted "Well, this spell is rather...complex. It's mainly taught to sixth years." Which was the truth. Had it not been for Kayne's seeming obsession and natural forte for Charms, he most likely wouldn't even be able to cast it. "Oh, and I should also say before doing it, the spell might not work. I've never personally casted it before." He added. But regardless, that didn't make the fourth year lose any hope.

With his wand, he made a flourish towards the sky and confidently stated the incantation of the spell "Cave Inimicum!" A haze then started to encapsulate the two students, forming a medium sized dome around them. Eyes lighting up with glee, Kayne told his highness "I think...I think it worked!" A laugh of joy echoed from his lips, if this had actually been casted successfully, then the two would be shielded from view of others, as well as their voices wouldn't be heard.

After the spell was placed, Kayne had then swapped out the wand for the Scrying Mirror. Looking down upon it, he asked "Are you ready?"


Ash was glad that Kayne was here. There were a lot of things she couldn't do without him. Divination and complicated spellwork fell into that category. Also, she trusted him and was sure that he would not let the evil scrying mirror evilly trap her and evilly steal her life force. Mirrors did that sometimes. Mirrors were bad.

Anyway.

"Kayne, I think it worked!" Her voice was quiet because WOW. Kayne was SO COOL. She was totally gonna learn this spell one day. Because that was impressive. And Kayne wasn't even a sixth year... he was a fourth year! Ooooh. She had clearly picked the right partner in crime.

Anyway.

It was time for the mirror. She looked at it and... OH NO SHE WAS BLINDED. Oh wait. Actually she had just reflexively closed her eyes. She opened them again. And then closed them again. And then opened them again. And then stared straight into the mirror. Ohhh no, bad idea. She closed them again. She opened them again, slowly this time. She looked at Kayne instead of the scary mirror that was calling to her and pushing her away at the same time. Kayne wasn't scary. He was nice. And so was... wait. She pulled a little fox stuffed animal out of her bag. "River decided that he wants to come too." And she set the fox down next to her. "He can protect us from the mirror just in case." Okay. Now she was ready. "How do we know if the scrying is working? Is there a way to fool scrying mirrors or detect that you're being spied on?" It seemed that there must be. Ash wanted to be prepared for all possibilities.
