But frowned a bit when she heard one of the young Slytherins saying some spell she had never heard of. "Miss Somerlad, I'm afraid that is the wrong spell dear. You see..."

OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAVENS!


That simply would not do!

"Oh dear, DARLINGS!" she called out, clapping her hands together. "I'm afraid I have made an error in your instructions." She WAS 70-years-old darlings and quite foregetful at times. With that she gave a quick wave of her wand at the board and corrected the spell's incantation. "Carry on!"

Ira had just cut off the top part of one bottle when she jumped suddenly at Professor's loud voice. Turning around, to face her, wondering what had gone wrong, she then simply giggled at Professor's discovery that she was really old. Yep, and people do forget some things at that age. Yep.

Anyways, noting the changes, Ira continued with her work amidst all the chatter and flying bottles. Looking down the instructions written:

Text Cut: Making rocket!
  • TAKE A POTTY BREAK!
  • Be sure there is NO soda left in your bottle.
  • 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!

Reading the third step, she lined her first whole bottle with the cut one above it, and tried it. Yes, could slide on and off easily enough. So no need for any more cutting.

That part done, she proceeded to the next step. She had to cut out wings for her bottle rocket. But she wasn't sure if she could cut rthe shape she wanted with a spell. So better to try and cut them with scissors. Yeah, easiest way. But where to find scissors? Ira heard Professor mentioning to a boy about there being some items behind her table. So there could be a scissor too. Going over to the front, Ira took a scissor and came back, and started cutting out wings. There. Done. 4 wings ready.

Now just to attach them to the bottle. Looking over at the instructions once again, she checked to make sure she had to attach the wings to the uncut bottle. Alright. Taking a wing, she held it and muttered "Adhaero!" Yep, and it stuck. Same way, she stuck the other three too.

Enough done! For now. So she updated her notes.
