Once Caolan was satisfied with the rock and stick that he had found very quickly and without putting much thought into, he headed back to the group and waited for further instructions. He was sure this was supposed to be Astronomy and not an episode of Blue Peter. He was surprised the Professor hadn’t come out with his own and not declared that this ‘was one I made earlier’. The instructions were given and suddenly there was a load of paint and brushes and students exploding into life.
He waited for a couple of others to go get their tools before heading up and grabbing a tin of white paint and a brush. If there was one thing that Caolan wasn’t it was arty. He was all for this lesson being outside in the open and being active but creativity was not on his list of skills. He roughly slapped a load of paint onto his rock and wafted it with his hand so that it would dry quicker. Anyone have a hairdryer?
It was lucky that Caolan’s memory wasn’t bad as no one had written down any instructions and the list of what to do was pretty long. He picked up his rock and placed it down onto a flat bit of land that was a little away from where he was stood. The paint had smudged a little on his fingers as it hadn’t fully dried yet. Ah well, ‘homemade’ and ‘rustic’ was all the rage now wasn’t it?
The third step was where it started getting a little more difficult. Thankfully the severing charm was pretty basic and one that he had learned from his lessons with his grandparents. He withdrew his wand and carefully moved it down, up and back down again with a swish. “Diffindo” he spoke as the bottom of the stick was sliced across to almost level. Caolan was used to doing the DIY on his mother’s farm in a barn with a saw and not with his wand.
