 HoM HW #1 ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
Homework, he had homework.
Shuffling his feet across the room to his bed, Zeke flopped down on top of his covers and pulled out his bound manuscript thing for HoM class from his bag. He liked drawing, but this was a bit much, wasn't it?
Nevertheless, as he turned to the page he had been working on, his blanket page... or was that carpet page? Something like that. At any rate, it was the page to signify the split between his old life and his new one. Economically challenged muggle to a fairly successful and much more well-off wizard. How things changed.
With his inks out, and the gold ink he managed to borrow from Professor Glendower, Zeke continued to work on outlining and colouring in some of his figures. On the page he had an array of images all connected with swirls and lines and patterns. There were objects from his past and present - carefully selected so as not to say tooooooo much - and they formed something of a timeline, or a story through pictures. It really was transitional, and to make it perfect, he felt he needed a phoenix. It symbolised rebirth after all, and what was he if not reborn?
First tracing a flaming bird lightly, Zeke examined it from one angle and the next. He was happy with it, phoenixes weren't the easiest things to draw after all. Dipping one of his quills in red ink, he coloured in the body and the wings. He then used orange and yellow for the flames and used black for some outlining and shadowing.
But something was missing.
It needed something MORE.
Gold!
Pleased with himself, Zeke got off the bed and set his inks away, taking out and unstoppering the special gold ink. He didn't need much, just a little, and then he could return it.
Laying back on his stomach, the manuscript page in front of him, Zeke dipped the end of his quill in the gold ink and carefully added licks of it to the tips of the phoenixes wings, its beak and its talons.
Finished. It was officially finished.
