Okay, so she was going to test the cutting spell on something to see what happened. Because even though it was highly illogical, Caelen was currently afraid that it was going to go wrong and take out half of her creation. But if this went right, it might save her time and her bird cage. And her hair.

Plucking a leaf from her shirt, she knelt down and propped it up against some grass. Again, she wasn't DISTRACTED or anything, this was real science-y type stuff. See, the redhead was being an intellectual. And wasn't school all about making intellectuals? Though she guessed that people who knelt on the ground and tried to cut leaves with a spell weren't considered intellectuals.

Anyway.....

"Diffindo!" No blast -she knew that was stupid-. No drama. Just a clean cut leaf and a new perfect plan of action. Standing up with a triumphant smile, Caelen reached to the middle of her creation and picked out one branch in particular that was horridly in the way. Without that branch there, things would be twice as easy for her.

"Diffindo!" She cut the branch and pulled it out. Now she just had to repeat this process over a millliiion tiimes.

"Diffindo!" Cut and clean. This might be easier than she thought. She might even be done soon. Depending on this stupid middle part. Why did she think the spell would blast again? It was known as the cutting spell. Maybe she meant blast as in a violent or harsh cut? Another one of her not so bright moments.

"Diffindo!" More cutting and cleaning. More and more and more and more and more. She continued to do the spell and clean the mess, actually working fairly quickly now that she had a full base on which to do things.

"Diffindo!" It was actually kind of fun doing this. It was like making an art project. A very sensitive art project. A few more diffindo spells and she would be about halfway done with the middle. It took a lot of energy to not do a little victory clap. She had gotten so far.


But the soil was getting dry. It wasn't really wet to begin with and all of the work wasn't helping matters. The redhead knew that you needed nice and wet soil to take care of the plant.

"Aguementi." So maybe she learned it because someone said it like five minutes ago and it vaguely sounded like the word water. Whatever. Semantics aren't important.

After toootally not copying off of the other student, she continued to do the spell and ct down the middle. The bird cage had almost taken place!
