Text Cut: The catch up bit
Distracted and off were both accurate reasons to her lack of greeting today. Lucy blinked at Professor Marchand when he called her by name. Hello? .... Yes! Hello! "Good morning," she offered a small, sleepy smile.

So, one apple was hand-made and one made with magic. Luce knew about Gamp's laws, and that one couldn't just magic apples out of thin air. She also knew that even in duplications, there were always slight discrepancies from the original. And, she thought that duplication was probably the method used to 'create' this apple.

She first took in the glossiness of the candy coating. Then, pressed a finger into it to feel the give and stickiness. She sucked at the candy that was pulled away as she thought about what her observations might mean. And then she began picking the candy coating off the apples - or trying to anyway - to see if the apples themselves underneath gave away any clues. Her last test was, of course, to taste. She took a small bite from each.


Before she drew any conclusions, though, Professor Marchand was speaking again.

She watched in awe as he flawlessly magicked all the apples. How he seamlessly transitioned from one non-verbal spell to the next. Sometimes, and usually in the most mundane ways, magic never failed to amaze her. And she was briefly caught up in the beauty of it all before she remembered that she had learning to do. And learning was especially important this year.

After regaining her focus, she tried once again to figure out which of the apples on her own desk were made from magic. Which was significantly easier now that it was demonstrated right before her eyes. She picked up the evenly coated one that matched the professor's up by the stem. "This one's magicked," she said. Funny how it was contrary to her originaly thinking that the magicked one would be the more flawed. But, it did make sense.
