 leaving outcome to professor ^_^ That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
He had been POKED. Cornelius took a sharp look in the direction and smiled automatically. Katerina. She beat him to it. Had it been the other way around he would have poked her. It was funny and endearing when she did that little jump whenever he did.
....And where was she going? With Dante. Ah, well that was understandable. Cornelius would have gone to him to. You know, cool dude...even if he did want Katerina to see HIS painting. He'll have to show her after class.
The problem right now was finger painting. Not the activity itself, but that it was occupying Cornelius' attention. It was much more entertaining than listening to an adult. He did finally look up when a charm was mentioned.
Animatae. Ah, well wasn't that interesting. That meant that his portrait of Mustard the bearded dragon could come alive and dance the Cha-Cha or something.
The Slytherin boy traced the figure of the yellow lizard on his easel as he cast, "Animatae!" He was excited and pumped, and that usually triggered his magic most than any other emotion. As it was, he was far too excited so his painting on twitched a leg, but that was enough to give the curly haired boy the confidence to keep trying.
He paused and glanced up at the professor, green eyes squinting in thought. No, Cornelius did not agree with this charm. Art was something that came from the heart, not magic. Not in painting, at least. Was if something was shaped as a patato? Would you cast 'Figura potato'? Would the charm capture raw emotion like hands did when they were at work? No. Cornelius did not think so. But since this was for fun, he didn't get into the technicalities of it.
Changing to the new parchment, Cornelius waved his wand as he mentally repeated the charm in his head. Once it was set, he cast. "Figura potato!" And with his wand he traced a potato.
Would it work????
