Divination Lesson #5: Comets

[Helia Ollivander]

She laughed, "Of course, what are friends for?" she looked around at the room full of people with pixy sitcks and coffee, "Mua ha ha ha ha ha, my master plan is working." she smiled deviously. "After tonight, half the school will be a buzz with coffee and sugar, imagine the havoc!" she snickered.

[Lisa Lycott]

Lisa stared at the coffee and cream interestedly, before glancing at the pixie sticks. She made a face, before smiling. "I'm not a fan of coffee, though I am rather fond of sugar." She looked at Helia hopefully, sitting down and noticing Thom staring intently at the moon.

Nearly full, She thought with a smile, looking up at it. Though werewolves didn't quite reach that thought, as Erika caught her attention instead, slipping an ice cube down the professor's robes, it seemed!

[Thom Moen]

Thom smiled appraisingly at Halo. "Thanks very much." he raised one of the colourful little sticks to her, toasting. Then he let the small little grains sprinkle into his mouth. Instantly they began to fizz. "Gorgeous..." he said, looking at the empty packet and crunching.

Thom joined Lisa in watching Erika, and grinned, waiting for the outcome, which was probably going to be entertaining.

[Helia Ollivander]

She smiled, 'Fastest way to dispense the candy,' and she threw the pixy sticks into the air. "They're yours if you can catch them!" she called out to anyone who may've been eyeing the sugary treat.

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika caught Thom's eye and had to place her hand over her mouth to hide her giggles. It wouldn't do to have the professor suspicious. She extended her hand and mouthed "Truce?" hoping to end their fight.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

Algernon transfigured the ice cube into a cinnamon candy as soon as it touched his skin. He reached down the back of his robes, held the red candy up before his nose for a moment, then popped it into his mouth, smiling serenely, as if he always kept candies in his robes.


((Don't worry about leaving Erich behind... he's everywhere muahaha. ))

[mistressofdarkness]

(( no fair!))

[Thom Moen]

Erika caught Thom's eye, and for one cold moment he was sure she was mouthing some sort of spell.

But then he realised - truce.

He stared for a moment, then smiled warmly. He nodded and gave a thubs up. "Truce." he mouth back.

After a moments pleasant gave, he caught sight of the flying pixie sticks, and without hesitation he dived off the desk and lunged for them, palms open.

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika stared in shock as Professor Moncrieff transformed the icecube into a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth. However, she was determined to do something to him. And she did. She quickly grabbed Moncrieff's wand out of his hand and held it out of his reach while conjuring up a bucket of ice water with her own. Then with an evil smile. she dumped the contents on his head.


((haha! i'll get you!))

[Thom Moen]

Thom collapsed into a fit of silent laughter, his hands over his mouth, desperate to keep the roaring noise that was inside him from sneaking out. It hammer at his chest and throat, and he was unable to stop a giant bark of laughter errupting from his mouth.

[Lisa Lycott]

Lisa laughed, one of the pixie sticks landing beside her. She stared at it for a moment, before tearing it open and tentatively tasting a bit. With bright eyes, she realised they really were good and looked around for a couple more, laughing as Algy was once again attacked by the determined Ravenclaw.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

If he hadn't been in a particularly good mood, brought on by a combination of the satisfaction in teaching a good lesson, his acceptance by his students, and the abundance of sugar, he would have been furious that a student was touching his wand.

As it was, he simply waved a hand, thickening the air above his head so water slid off to each side, spattering all the students.

"We professors are trained to some extend in wandless magic, you know, Ms. Karew," he told her with a smirk. "I may not be as good at it as some, but I can still manage a simple umbrella charm. Especially when magic is as powerful as it is at the moment. Kindly return my wand, yes? Before you cause Mr. Moen to suffocate himself completly."

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika glared. "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do!" she said. Then with a cry she leapt toward the professsor and began to tickle him mercilessly.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

Oy, these Englishmen were crazy.

Algernon shrieked somewhat more loudly than he would like liked, falling backwards against the stone, Erika on top of him, tickling. He choaked out words between his laughter. "Are you--entirely--Sure this is-- the proper---respectful way-- to treat your--- professor?" He asked

[Thom Moen]

Although Thom had just been soaked by the averted icy water, he continued to laugh heartily, even more so at the sight of Erika's determination to get her professor.

Looking upwards, he smiled. It had been a good night, for magic was definitely in the air, and no doubt tomorrow would be interesting. Who knew what would happen.

"Get him, Erika, get him!" Thom egged her on.
