|| Laura's walking popcorn || Lermaniac || Tazzie's Sugar || Mrs. Henderson "Where is it, where is it, WHERE IS IT??" Cass cried out as she turned her covers out, flipped the mattress of her bed over, dug out practically all the contents of her trunk, checked under the bed and finally, checked Ice's abandoned kitty bed, only to find the object of her panic sitting there snugly. Well, not so snugly as it was shaking badly. Maybe it got scared of the ruckus that she had made? But no, that would be silly, eggs can't get scared, much less metal eggs! But hey, they didn't shake - or rather, shiver - either, and here was an egg in her hands, shivering like a leaf in autumn. "There you are!" She exclaimed happily as she hugged the egg to her, acting like a mother who had almost lost a child in Diagon Alley "I've been so worried!" Then, as if realizing how crazy she must look, she closed her mouth and glanced around the mess that she had made. Oops.
She brought out her wand and waved it over the disaster area that was known as her part of the room and said "Scourgify." effectively bringing her bed back to its former glory. Then she flicked her wand to her trunk, which was standing their with her clothes lying haphazardly around and said "Pack" sending them to fold on their own and stow themselves into her trunk in an orderly fashion. Perfect.
When all evidence of her earlier panic attack had been cleaned up, she climbed up on bed and hugged the egg -which was still shivering- to her chest. "You must be cold." She told the metal egg, taking a moment to remember what the right spell for that was, then she pointed her wand to it and said "Argentum Calidus", and sure enough, the egg stopped shivering.
Then she leaned back against the headboard and began to stroke it gently, as if she had been stroking her cat before, and told it "You need a name." Then she closed her eyes for a moment and thought, what did metal have that can be considered as a name? Well, she remembered something about alloys and all that...she couldn't recall where she remembered it from at the moment, but all kinds of metal seemed to have them...but there was no way she was naming it Alloy. Suddenly, her eyelids flew open and smiled. Heh, she was such a genius. "From now on, you shall be named Allie." Brilliant.
