elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿ She'd been only SORT of successful in roasting a marshmallow because they either fell RIGHT into the fire, which torched them and made them a little less appetizing than she'd hoped, or she took them out of the flame too quickly 'cause she didn't WANT them to burn, which meant they didn't get that toasty brown which allowed them to be JUST right for s'mores making. It was tough out here in the marshmallow toasting world, it was.
When it was time to move on, the first year was actually glad and she sat up a bit straighter, thinking maybe knowing this new spell could've been a LOT more useful back when she'd had the rose garden incident, especially if it meant no mess left behind. WHY couldn't they have learned this sooner?!
She practiced the figure eight a few times first, making it different sizes just for practice. Once she was comfortable with that, it was ALL about giving the spell an actual try. "Ignus...Ig-nus Ex-tinc-tus." Didn't really roll off the tongue, now did it? "Ignus Ex-tinc-tus...Ignus Extinctus." Annnd with the movement.. "Ignus Extinctus!" She made the smaller figure eight and watched and waited...but there was nothing. Hm. Maybe it was because the fire was nice and toasty and warm and she didn't really want it to go out deep down inside?
