Right.

Okay.

Tobias continued to carefully stroke the rabbits soft soft head, and watching his snuffling nose. Ugh, so cute. Why WHYYYYYY DID HE HAVE TO TURN IT INTO A HAT?

One thing Tobias had succeeded in not doing, however, was naming the bunny. Boy, he'd made that mistake before.

But stiiiiiill.

Okay, so first things first, practice the incantation, without the wand.

Lepus Caput... rabbit head... hehe. Was he the only one who found that funny? Yes? Okay, fine.

"Lepus Caput..." Tobias said to himself, staring at the rabbit, imagining it becoming a top hat. He didn't know what angora was, but he knew what a top hat looked like so it shouldn't be too difficult. "Lepus Caput."

The more he thought about it, the more Tobias thought that maybe it wasn't so bad. The rabbit was sentient now, but that would stop when it was a hat. But... if it stayed a hat forever, wouldn't that be exactly like killing it? Hmm... negative thought. Best to not think about it. Tobias preferred to think that the spell would, eventually, be lifted by Professor Bellaire, if not himself. Y'know. On the sly.

"Lepus Caput."

Okay, he'd got the incantation. It wasn't really that hard. Now onto the wand movement.

After another little snuggle with Terry, he picked up his wand to try that without the incantation.

Wait.

...

He'd only gone and named it.
