 Eeeppp!! *catches up* Post 1 XD ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~
Alrighty! It was time to get dirty!
As soon as the Professor said 'go', Charner was up and out of her seat so fast that it wobbled and she had to stop, spin and catch it before it made a bang on the floor. Once she was sure it was stable, and gave it a wary glance, THEN she was speed-walking to the Toadstools.
However, as soon as she got to one, hands poised and ready to grab it, she remembered. Gloves.
Pause.
Blink.
Oh for the love of Merlin ----
Rounding on her heels, Charner nearly dived for her bag, skidding onto her knees and shuffling through her bag once more. It took an agonizing minute to find them, but after she did, she drew them on and gave them a satisfying snap against her arms. Perfect.
With a grin that could border on maniac, she turned about once again and spotted her toadstool. The one in the corner. Off to the side, looking like it was ready for a fight. Heh. She liked a good fight.
Wiggling her fingers, she started towards the plant, withdrawing her wand slowly. Heh heh. It was fully suspecting, a pure challenge. A face-off. A grand show-down!
"Viro Torpeo!!" She thrust her arm out and her other hand fell onto her hip in a fist, an epic stance that made heroes. The spell fired, hit the base of the toadstool and VICTORY!!!
With a grin, Charner hoped forward and planted BOTH her hands on the top of the toadstool. In her mind, it was so numb it wouldn't know what hit it next. Unfortunately, what happened in Charner's mind and in reality were often two completely different things. This, was no exception.
As soon as her hands came into contact with the plant, it stirred. Yes, STIRRED right under her! And it shifted, making her hands slip on its slippery, rubbery, GROSS surface. Of course with nothing to hold onto, not unless she wanted to grab the cap and damage the toadstool (which the Professor had specifically warned against), she fell. Or was evily deposited right onto the ground beside it.
And from that place, lying winded on her back, she got a good view of the underbelly of the beast. Fangs. Lots of them. And they were all aiming at her. All ready to try and EAT her! They were even coming towards her------
"VIRO TORPEO!!" Her wand jutted up so hard and far that it nearly went up into the maw of the THING. Then, everything stopped.
The beast seemed to whimper and then sag with unwilling loss of function. And that, brought a smile to Charner's lips. Now she was victorious....
Pause. A gentle poke to one of the teeth. No response.
....
NOW she was victorious!
Of course, the toadstool probably hadn't moved very far in the whole affair, but then, reality and Charner's mind rarely told the same story.
