~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Pheebs’ question, as weird as it may sound to some, was rather interesting to Ary. His gaze returned expectantly to DeVries. It turned out that his initial thought, about Planetary Ruler having something to do with Astrology, was correct. He carefully made his notes, ensuring to include the provided examples. His mind also replayed other information he knew about Mars and the body: Mars ruled the blood and muscles.
There was quite a lot of information DeVries provided but Ary scribbled down it all as best as he could. At the mention of Mercury ruling Mandrakes, he discreetly nudged Drake. “Ruled by Mercury, are you?” he whispered jokingly. Then he went right back to taking notes about tinctures and the two spells.
It wasn’t long after that Aryan was ready to begin his practice. “Dee-FIN-doh. Diffindo. Diffindo.” The complicated wand movement of moving from left to right starting high on the left, then swooping down toward the right, then up again, then down and up and out. “TUR-gee-oh Ex-uh-RESK-oh. TUR-gee-oh Ex-uh-RESK-oh. Tergeo Exaresco.” The pointy wand movement was far easier than the first.
And all the while he kept looking towards Bry, wanting to ensure that she was indeed okay. He knew her well enough to tell that something was off with her mood. But in the end, she really need not worry that he would be stolen; he would always remain her bestie. |
