WEEE! Was her memory that bad, or was this the first lab thingy in Evangeline’s not so long Hogwarts History? Hmm. Probably not, okay. But there hadn’t been much more, that she knew. After reading the instructions for a couple of times from her working place, Evangeline decided it was time to get to work. Yup, yup. Or Professor Forrester would kick her out before she had the time to finish her awesome COMET! OOOH! And they got goggles too! Awesome! They were funny! Eagerly, Evangeline put it on and reread the instructions … oh, just once more.

Deciding she’d put her gloves on when it was time to handle the dry ice, Evangeline grabbed the first garbage back and carefully cut it open. Once she figured it was enough, she set to line it up with the mixing bowl. A mixing bowl. Hehe. Why would they need a mixing bowl? Psssh.

Oh right, to build the comet!

After the once garbage bag was lined up alright with the mixed bowl, Evangeline read the next instruction. Hmmm. Water? Forrester must mean the two glasses full of water .. two glasses only, though? Well, she supposed. With a light shrug of her shoulders, the Prefect picked up a cup in each hand and carefully poured the liquid down onto the bowl. Water dooooooone.

Gently setting the cups back down onto the table – really, she didn’t want to end up dropping them and breaking her Head of House’s glasses!! -, the Seventh Year checked the instructions once more. Ooh. Only a GAZILLION more to go! Eh.

Ooooh. Now came the sand! Sand was good and nice and fun! It remind her of the beach, the one place she really couldn’t go that much because she turned BRGIGHT RED – unless it was winter, of course. Blasted pale skin. Humming a tune under her breath, Evangeline used the wooden spoon on the table to get two spoonfuls of sand onto the water and proceeded to mix it well, making sure it was nice and well stirred. YAYYAY!

Hmmm. The two next steps looked easy enough, at least! Still humming the tune, not too loud so it wouldn’t disturb the work of the other students, Evangeline added a dash of ammonia to the sand and water mix, before adding a dash of the dark corn syrup. Ewwww! That had a weird smell. Crinkling her nose, the Prefect picked up the wooden spoon to mix it very, very well. She stirred it for about a couple of minutes, until the syrup was well mixed with the water.

And now .. it was time for the gloves! After putting them on and making sure there was no way she’d get burned ~~and lose house points~~ Evangeline scratched her chin. Now, she needed to get three garbage bags inside eachother, yeah? Well, that was easy enough!

Carefully doing it – after all, she only had 3 bags and couldn’t ruin any – Evangeline tucked each bag inside the next one and set them on the table, ready for the ice. WOOHOO! This was cool now. She couldn’t wait till she got to use the hammer. With her gloved hands, Evangeline warily took the dry ice out of its chest and put it inside the nicely tucked in bags. And now..

…. HAMMER TIME!

Bang, bang, Evangeline’s silver hammer came down upon the iiiiiice. Turututuru., the girl almost started singing as she picked up the hammer and started hitting the ice with it, making sure it was well crushed. MWAHAHA! Evangeline had no mercy!

After she was done with it - booohoo, couldn’t she go on? It was fun! – the Prefect emptied the bags into the bowl with the water, sand, ammonia and syrup mix, seeing the crushed ice fall there. Mwahahaha. And now, mix time again! She eagerly mix it well, with the wooden spoon that had been on the table, until it reached the stage where it almost froze. Weeeeeee!! Almost done, she was!

After stopping one moment to read the rest of the instructions, Evangeline looked down at her hands to make sure she still had her gloves on – well, it didn’t hurt to be sure, did it? – before pulling up the bag out of the bowl, taking the comet with it. Then, she rested it on her desk, ready to start shaping it. Like a snowball, eh? That meant roooooound. Nice and round!

As she did that, she noticed it was becoming harder to shape it, which meant the comet was freezing for REAL! Once it was a nice, big, frozen ball, Evangeline used her gloved fingers to unwrap the plastic of the paper bag from the comet. Aaaand last step!

With one excited bounce and proud eyes eyeing her bootiful comet, Evangeline placed it on one of those paper plates that were on the table. PERFECT! As she waited for more instructions or for dismissal, she entertained herself with cleaning up the mess she had made with the paper towels, glad that her comet was holding its shape.
