Just keep in mind that tooooooooo much of a good thing can be bad, darlings." She was just about to step aside when she recalled what she had remembered earlier. "Oh! I almost forgot." She pulled an EMPTY soda bottle out from under her desk and duplicated it with a spell until there were enough for each student. "You will also need one more bottle."

Oops. Hehehehe. Better that they just had to drink one full bottle of soda and not two, yes?

Use the Severing Charm to cut ONE of your bottles about 2/3 of the way from the top so that you have removed the top. (be sure to cut the end with the lid)
Check to make sure that the cut bottle fits over the bottom of the other bottle. It should slide on and off easily.
Cut out 3-4 wings that are the same in size. If the size is off it will effect how high the rocket launches. You can make them whatever size you want and whatever shape you want.
Use Adhaero to stick the wings to the UNCUT bottle. Be sure that they are attached around the same height.
Take your plastic bag, dental floss, and a remaining cardboard and lay them out on your desk.
Tie some dental to the plastic bag's handles and attach this string to the bottom of your UNCUT bottle. This will become your rocket's parachute.
Place the bottom part of the bottle on top other bottle. Make sure the bottom part of your rocket has the parachute.
DECORATE!

Your bottle rocket should resemble this when you are done.

It didn't appear that anyone was going to magically appear and drink Vivi's bottle of soda, which was a shame because she really didn't WANT it. No. No thanks. She drew the bottle back to the center of her desk and gave it a hard look, as if it was PERSONALLY responsible for her drink quandry. Waste the drink or get sugared up?

Vivi rose and retrieved her supplies from the front of the room. The project was rather crafty and simple, but she was interested in seeing if they'd get to see the laws of motion in action. If the only way was a Muggle science project... by all means. Shame Greingoth wasn't super friendly and she was sitting so far from people who might provide interesting conversation.

She thumped poor Vickers when she passed him, but that was Vivi-language for hello.

Looking to both sides to make sure no one was witnessing her potential failure, she drew her wand. She had heard a girl saying a word then her bottle got split so she would try it too. Jabbing the bottle she uttered the spell and was shocked when the charm nearly severed her desk and made a mess of her parchment. O___O....it had come awfully close to her as well....

SIGH. -_____-

Lex scanned the room reluctantly. She was a big girl, she wasn't supposed to need anyone's helping making a rocket! She scowled a bit when she realized what she would have to do then picked up her bottle and made her way to Vivi with a slight pout. Oh the indignation of needing help. [b]"I think if I try cutting this on my own again I'll hurt myself...can you help me with this?"[b] She nearly choked on that last part. Once this was done she could head back to her seat and try figuring out the rest without any help!

"Gladly," Vivi turned from her supplies as she took her seat again and pointed to a spot on her desk for Lex to place her own bottle. "You'll learn this spell soon, but if you practice a bit today, you'll already be an expert when the class comes up. Get to show off and stuff, you know? The trick is intent." She pointed her wand at the bottle and cut it cleanly away as instructed...

All except for the last bit. "You try the rest. I'll watch."

O_____________________________o

...........it was stuck.

She should have done this later, obviously.

Tugging on the end and not having much luck, Kurumi's head snapped to attention when she heard Professor Burbage say something about...adorable panties?

Snorting slightly and lunging forward suddenly to try not to laugh, Kurumi tried NOT to look at West and his 'adorable panties.' Just HOW had that happened?

Oh, right, back to tugging... TUG TUG TUG TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG...

.....POP!

Oops. Kurumi's arms flailed a bit as the one bottle flew through the air and towards the back of a student's head.

EEEK!

"Ow." What was that? Penelope turned and looked down and found...a bottle? She bent down and picked it up then looked around. "Whose bottle is this?" And why was it thrown at her head?

Now see? Fate was smiling on the blond Ravenclaw, because there was opportunity almost falling right into her lap. Vivi leaned over and plucked the bottle from the smaller girl's grasp with a Cheshire smile. No drinking of soda necessary, kthx.

"Oh, sorry. That's mine, I think. I'll make it up to you later."

She paused and gave Lex a little wave to get on with her cutting already, and then Vivi set to work on her own rocket. The pre-cut bottle was already done, and she trimmed down the sides a bit with her wand to make sure she could slide it easily over the other bottle. See? No flying bits and pieces. No one was going to be able to reclaim her found object.
