I barely managed to stick that to the wall!
Glancing over at Mariel,Sarah watched as she prepared herself by tying her hair back.She could feel the fear rise up in her as Mariel looked at her.She could tell her friend was slightly nervous...who could blame her? It is after all ME sticking her to the wall!
Sarah gulped hard and grinned in a way she hoped would signal confidence.
Standing opposite the desk that Mariel had clambered onto,Sarah tried to stop her wand hand from shaking.If I get this wrong I will be visiting my friend in the hospital ward cos she'll have two broken legs.
She snapped out of her thoughts when Mariel said she was ready. OK now or never.
"You sure? You don't want a little more time...so I can run away? Kidding...." Not really,that is what she wanted to do.Not what was going to happen though.She had to do this.
Stepping forward she started with her wand at the top of Mariel's head and worked her way clock-wise from there.
"Addddddhhhhhaaaeeeerrroooooo...." She managed to get as far as her feet before running out of breath. "Hold still,just need to inhale some more air." Taking in as deep a breath as she could,while not moving her wand,she then continued. "Adddddddhhhhhhhhaaaaaeeeeerrrrooooooo." Finished.She hoped.
"Right,I'll pull the desk away now then.OK?" She smiled at Mariel hoping maybe she wouldn't end up in a heap on the floor.
Grabbing the edge of the table she tugged slowly and to her relief Mariel was still attached to the wall.It had worked!
Still grinning at the fact she had got it right,Sarah almost forgot she had to unstick her too.OK.Pushing the table back so it was firmly in place,she stood back and cast "Avexis" at her friend.
Mariel's encouraging smile faltered slightly at Sarah's apprehension and turned into more of a nervous grin. Truth be told, she wasn't completely sure that either of them would be all that great at sticking an actual human being to the wall. They both did the paper just
okay, having had to perform the charm twice to manage to get a piece of paper completely stuck. And although hanging from a wall looked incredibly cool, it would not be fun to hang there only partially stuck. Of course she would be able to feel if she was securely fastened to the wall before Sarah pulled the desk away, right? And then if she wasn't she'd just tell Sarah to wait.
"You can do it, Sarah," the Ravenclaw girl told her Hufflepuff friend, as she took a deep breath and squinted her eyes shut in anticipation. Standing completely still as Sarah performed the charm twice to complete the task, Mariel slowly opened her eyes as she was sure the girl was finished. She opened her mouth to tell Sarah to wait until she made sure she was completely fastened to the wall before she pushed the desk away, but as she was trying to wiggle her limbs to see if there was any sign of looseness, Sarah had already begun to push the desk away.
"Wait - ," she started, a teensy bit of panic in her voice. But as the desk slid away from her, the brunette realized she was securely fastened to the wall. Beaming at her friend, she tried unsuccessfully to give her a thumbs up, and said,
"Well done," and waited for her to put the desk back to unstick her. She giggled slightly at the sensation of hanging on the wall. This
was fun and could see why the two professors were having such a good time at it earlier.
Feeling the desk back under her feet as Sarah pushed it back, Mariel patiently waited to be unstuck. After Sarah performed that spell, Mariel wiggled her fingers free and stepped back away from the wall. Climbing down from the desk, she turned to Sarah with a grin and said,
"Okay, you're next, hop up there."
