 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
A sudden wave of sadness washed over her but the thought of fairies dying was just… heartbreaking. Claudine squinted at Carton briefly as though attempting to see through any lies he may be telling. It seemed she saw nothing of the sort for she simply nodded then went back to creating all the things for the decorating. “Mediocris luminaria… Mediocris luminaria…” The muttering of the incantation was done until it seemed to roll flawlessly off of her tongue. As an artist, tracing out a lightbulb shape was pretty easy for her so soon enough, Claudine felt ready for the actual thing.
“Mediocris luminaria.” As usual, her tone of voice was commanding. Her level of focus was really up there since the girl was determined to have the same immediate success as she had with the first spell. The yellow light happened and she watched happily as the fairy wing before her went into a chain of fairy lights. Claudine had imagined them to be multi coloured lights and hoped this would be the case when she placed them on the tree and lit the small bulbs up.
She decided to recreate the same small bulbs, only this time the lights would be bright pink. “Mediocris luminaria.” Claudine moved her wand in that lightbulb shape and soon enough she had an identical length of fairy lights before her. Honestly, this had to be one of the best Transfiguration lessons ever.
Next steps? To decorate. Claudine motioned for Violet to follow her. “The important thing is to have fun so I would advise you to decorate however you see fit. A colour blast just catches everyone's eyes. Meaning, there’s no wrong way to decorate a tree.” Creativity was great on most occasions. Saying so, the older Snakette got to work. Using a basic Levitating Charm, the kitten ornament was directed to the top of the tree. Not to the exact top where a star would be in place but just below there. The same went for the hippogriff. Once they were hung, Claudine stood back to admire the shimmering, transparent beauties.
Now for the lights. Yet again, the girl used magic to drape the lights, starting with the multicoloured lights. Next went the pink lights. Um… did they light the lights up now, so that the bulbs could be checked to ensure they were working? Where was Carton so that Claudine could ask? |
