Aurora didn’t really think her answer would be correct considering that she had said it after all the Medusa and Gorgon answers but arguably it wasn’t totally inaccurate. Other than that Celia only had one big eye so did that really make her a Cyclops? A Cyclops Gorgon hybrid! Her mind was whizzing through these thoughts so quickly that she didn’t even hear the first year questioning her answer nor any of the responses back. In fact, she was too busy drawing a not so artistic rendition of Celia on her parchment whilst the second question was being asked.

It wasn’t until the movement of the fellow students around her as they prepared themselves for the next activity did she snap herself back into reality. If it weren’t for the instructions on the blackboard, the Ravenclaw might’ve been totally lost. She scooted her way out of her seat and bounced her way in the procession over to the box of objects, picking up a feather and considering whether to use it to tickle one of her fellow classmates on her way back to her desk.

Glancing back up at the board to make sure she had the pronunciation correct she started practicing the spell first before making an attempt on her feather. Although why she would want to change such a pretty feather into a stone was a little beyond her. Furthermore she had completely missed the part about picturing the size and shape and appearance of the rock and therefore just had the image of a boring old pebble in her head instead.

“Dyoo-roh. Duuuro” she repeated, her head tilted a little to the right like a Crup concentrating on his owners commands but being a little perplexed by them. “Duro!” She drew the open ended D in the air with her wand before attempting it on her feather which unsurprisingly transformed into that aforementioned boring old pebble.
