Divination Lesson #5: Comets

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika smiled as she tickled the professor and Thom encouraged her. "Come on! Come help me!" she cried to Thom

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia began laughing at the... unusual sight when Erika began tickling the professor. She turned back to the sky and smiled. Noticing that no one was using the telescope she wandered over and peered through the lens again. She adjusted the instrument and smiled as she got a closer view of the unicorn constellation. "So pretty..." she said with a smile as the stars twinkled happily.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

Daunted by the prospect of two students tackling him, he appealed to Helia for help. "Ms.. Ms... Oy, Helia, help me out here, will you?" He called out. He could, of course, have gotten himself out with magic, but what was the fun in that?

[Helia Ollivander]

She turned as the professor called her name, she laughed, "Ha ha, poor professor." she snickered, then ran over and started tickling Erika, "Mua ha! What did I tell you! The havoc, the havoc! Mua ha ha."

[Lisa Lycott]

Lisa laughed at Erika, maybe a little too heartily thanks to the sugar, and gasped as water sprayed all over her. Grinning, she turned to Erika, "Yes, no mercy!" She decided not to help just yet, using it as a playful revenge for soaking her robes.

[Thom Moen]

Thom's laughter died down to a happy chuckle, and he made to stand up and join Erika.

But he had a better idea. The class seemed to be gather all in place on the floor around Moncrieff. Thom looked at his soaking robes and smiled evily. Pulling his wand from his pocket, he aimed it at the huddle. "Aguamenti!"

A thick jet of clear cool water issued from the tip of his wand, and with glee he let the fountain pass over them in turn. "This should cool you all off!" he laughed.

[Helia Ollivander]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Helia squealed and leaped away from the group, "Oh yeah, Rictumsempra!" a jet of purple light hit Thom... and Erika... and Lisa... and herself... and near everyone in the room, "OH MERLIN!" She began laughing uncontrollably, "Oh, ha ha ha. Oh, dear.... HAH HAH ha ha, the- the comet! Ha ha ha."

[Lisa Lycott]

The water hit Lisa's robes, yet again and she looked around with a stunned expression, trying to hold in her laughter. It finally escaped as the tickling charm hit her arm, and she began to giggle uncontrollably, sliding limply to the floor. "If only all our lessons were like this!" She exclaimed through a fit of laughter while clutching her stomach.

((lol! That actually DID make me laugh.))

[Thom Moen]

Thom felt a funny sensation swell in his chest, another slightly stronger tickling his stomach. He let out a huff of a laugh, then a giggle, then a chortled.

Within moments he was stood quite calmly on the spot, his head thrown back in laughter that was, this time, literally uncontrollable.

"Halo - hah - what have you - hehe - done - wooho haha!"

[Helia Ollivander]

"I-I forgot... ha ha, about the- the hoo ha ha, comet!!!" she had forgotten that the comets power enhanced the power of the spell, and now the class would remain laughing until someone could mutter the counter spell, "Ha ha ha ha!!!"

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

The students distracted by the tickling spell, Algernon was able to pull himself out from under Erika to his feet. He was quite wet at this point and, picking his wand up from beside the girl, cast a quick drying spell on his robes. Having been protected by Erika's body, he had not been effected by the tickling spell, and now was faced with a wonderful oppertonity. But then again... well, he was the teacher, after all. He should probably show some restraint. "Finite incantum" He cast waving his wands over the students as the spell was lifted. He cast a simmilar drying spell over them all, careful not to burn them with the power of it.

After staring at them for a moment: "Er... please don't attack me again."

[Helia Ollivander]

She snickered, "This is so my favorite class!" she said widening her eyes as she stared through the transparent ceiling. "So what's our next class going ot be about?" she asked enthusiastically.

[Thom Moen]

Thom stopped his roaring, the laughter reduced to gentle titter. He watch Moncrieff cast a spell over those who were wet, and with a small yelp felt of of his hairs singe on the end. Pulling it into front of his face to inspect it, he saw a thin line of smoke coiling up from it. He whipped his forehead in relief and laughed.

"With all this magic in the air we should definitely experiment!" Thom suggested.

[mistressofdarkness]

Erila smirked as the proffesor asked the class not to attack him. Then she tackled him to the floor. "Let's get him!" she cried gleefully as she began to tickle him once more. "Come on guys! Help me!" she cried to Thom and Helia. "Besides, how many times do you get to tickle your head of house?" she asked Helia.

[Thom Moen]

Thom smiled and stood up, but his attention was quickly drawn to the telescope. No one had looked through it for a while, and remembering that he had not got a real look at it, he walked up to it and peered through the minute lens.

The comet had come closer, and it seemed to blaze with white hot magic. Thom wondered what would happen if it were to land in Hogwarts. What chaos would unfold?

Looking away, Thom rubbed his eyes. Brightly coloured spots of light now lingered in his vision from the intensity of the comet, and when he closed his eyes he could still see it, strangely beautiful like a photograph negative...
