Stella wasn't sure how time had passed so quickly, but now it was already May. It was that much closer to the end of term, finals, OWLs, all of that. It was also that much closer to getting to go back to London, and on to France again for a while. She knew she'd be talking her parents into letting her come back to England earlier than they'd thought, but first she had to get through this year. At least it had stopped raining, and it was nice enough out that she could wander around outside again. The grounds calmed her more than being cooped up inside the castle, especially since for the most part being inside just made her worry about exams more. Outside was freedom, fresh air.

She hadn't forgotten about her egg, though, and as soon as she got to a quiet part of the pathways, she stepped off to one side and sat down near a bush. At least that way she'd be protected from people seeing her, or tripping over her. She was still a little paranoid that someone was going to catch her talking to her egg and think she was crazy. She'd really started thinking of the little metal egg as a pet, though, and she took it carefully out of her pocket once she was settled. "I wonder what you're going to become, Oberon?," she asked, not really expecting a response. She was fairly certain it was going to hatch into something, she just didn't know what. Or how Professor Schirmer had set the eggs up as to when they'd hatch anyway. She figured it was soon, though, if the project was their final.

Anyway, as soon as she'd spoken, her egg vibrated gently, almost replicating Lyra's purring, and she glanced down in surprise. Was that a response?, she wondered, before she was startled again as the egg warmed up drastically. Not enough to burn her, but it was close. Pulling a sliky scarf out of her bag, she spread it on the ground and gently set the egg on top. "Of course," she murmured, taking her wand out and casting the spell again. "Argentum frigidus." With a swish and tap, she waited a few moments and then touched the surface of the egg with a finger. Back to the normal coolness, so she let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding. It seemed her egg was still determined to keep her on her toes, which was a bit annoying. It seemed content to just sit there for now, though, so she went back to her thoughts about what was going to happen with it later. Usually it cooperated for a while after she regulated it, so she trusted she had time.
