~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. You bet, Professor! Spreading positivity was his thing. That was why Jude could not have been more pleased with the words he had written on that parchment. Thrilled that they were moving along, he eagerly followed the instructions. One end of the dowel into the sphere before reaching for a random ribbon: a bright orange one. It was soon tied neatly to the dowel - the bit under the sphere - and this was followed up by four other ribbons, each beneath the other: purple, neon green, hot pink and red orange. “Glacius!’’ The Hufflepuff completed the appropriate wand movement and watched in fascination as his sphere was captured in ice. It made him think of Neptune and Uranus, the two coldest planets. With all that done, Jude got to his feet, little contraption in hand. His free hand went up as he moved to the boundary of the classroom. “Comets usually have two tails and one is caused by ultraviolet light changing the gas from the comet into ions. The ions are carried by solar wind and this forms the ion tail.” Did he explain that properly? Because he was trying to break it down into simple terms for his classmates. Also, he had left the floor wide open for someone to mention the dust tail. |
