Gideon watched his egg carefully, still holding it in his hand with the cloth loosely around the lower half as he held it. The fourth year's breath was slowed as he awaited a response to his spellwork, it hitching in his throat as he sensed movement. Was it hatching? Did it work? Oh please oh please let me not be imagining it.

*Snip*...*snap*

Sounds were certainly coming from his egg, of that he was now sure. Holding it closer to his ear, Gideon awaited more noises and such and for the apparent hatching to continue. "Come on little egg," he encouraged as he removed it from beside his head and gingerly lowered it back down onto the cushion in front of him. Maybe just maybe it needed a stable perch upon which to escape.

*Snap*...*snip*...*crack*

More sounds could be heard as the egg warbled and wobbled in place and the first audible crack could be heard. Since the egg was no longer held the movement became more and more noticable between cracking noises as everything seemed to speed up and race towards its goal until finally one last crack left the egg open to reveal...

A metal elephant?

Gideon certainly wasn't expecting that figuring it to have the chance of being something that as a real animal came from an egg. But it made no difference to him, the fourth year tilting his head slightly as he looked it over. Spotting the other item that had appeared, he then picked up the scroll that had apparently come with it explaining the item, reading it for what it could possibly mean.

Who needs a remembrall when you have a miniature metal elephant charmed not to let you forget? It even will trumpet to let you know if you've forgotten a detail or two. Unlike a remembrall this little thing can stamp out a message in morse code to let you know exactly what it was you forgot. At least for as long as the charms last! You can even use it as an alarm clock.

Quite interesting...a nice little reminder of important things. Though Gideon wasn't sure how he felt about the fact that apparently fate believed him to be forgetful of such things. Oh well...it was all in good fun and certainly a beautiful item. "I think I shall call ye Babar," he said picking up the elephant and looking at it closer. He remembered the name of a fictional elephant from a book, having been exposed to a mixture of muggle and wizard tales growing up.
