Lisa removed her hands from her third skull and focused her attention on the red dot that Noah drew on a piece of parchment. She bit her lip, watching and listening to him draw it. A smile appeared on her lips and then a giggle when he mentioned Qui Gon Jinn from Star Wars. She loved Star Wars so much.... No focus... She heeded his advice, narrowing her eyes, and then watching Noah explain more. As she listened, she found herself dropping her jaw in awe at the realization around the dot and focusing on the image. Ohhhhhhhh....

It made sense NOW. She did beam when Professor Carton gave Noah points. She thought Noah could do a good job teaching one day ... he was good at explaining things.

Feel the force flow...” she repeated and then looked up to Noah and offered him a confident nod. “Okay!” She closed her eyes and focused on picturing the pumpkin clearly in her min. White, round, about eight inches wide, seven inches tall, smooth, short tan stem. Lisa could picture it vividly in her mind. Picking up her wand, she opened her eyes and then cast, “Melofors!

A bright flash of orange and the spell had taken effect.

Before her sat an almost picture perfect pumpkin save for the slight lean to the left. Heh. Oops buuuut she was still excited nonetheless. She turned to Noah and then patted his arm gently. “Noah. Noah. No,” she said slipping into calling the boy by her nickname that she had given her brother. This Noah was just as helpful as her brother if not more. He was Master Jedi Noah to her. “I did it!” and it was all thanks to him for HELPING HER!

And then she began quickly carving her pumpkins to catch up. Lisa decided to carve a spiral into the pumpkins just enough to look really awesome. The carving part of this lesson was much easier than the spell because she had done it before at home with her parents and siblings. Moving to the States had forced them to embrace some of the holidays over there like Halloween and Thanksgiving and more. It was very different from their harvest festival and celebration.

The Professor was mentioning they had to go hide these? Where should they put them? “Umm Master Noah... how do we turn these on again?” she whispered.


Well to be honest, Noah took a chance at the fact that Lisa was from Ravenclaw, and that his own twin was in the same house. They were not solely just academically smart, but they also tend to be the artsy/creative/visual people. Catherine liked to paint... Catherine liked aesthetics, and Noah simply took his cue from there.

As he left Lisa to work on her own pumpkin, Noah focused on carving his pumpkins carefully. It's sad that they don't have the same Halloween tradition as their American counterparts, but it was great fun to dabble on their tradition, nonetheless. Thankfully, he wasn't completely alien to the American tradition, all thanks to the early muggle schooling he'd had. And so, with his plastic knife, the Gryffindor began to poke and slice through the eye parts of the pumpkin helmets, and used his wand to carve out the tinier details like the vents and such. It was a good thing to that the Severing Charm was one of the basic spells he'd learned to cast non-verbally.

Halfway through his carving, he'd paused and sat up straight, turning behind him to see the Professor standing to give him an extra five points. Noah grinned and gave Professor Carton a nod of thanks at the recognition, and continued with his carving. Catherine would be so jealous. aNyWaY.

Almost done with his last skull, Noah paused again to divert his attention to the little Padawan sat across her, and gave her pumpkin a good look. "Knew you could do it. The Force is strong with you, Padawan. Well done." It still wasn't perfect, but it sure looked way better than her other two, and the red dot trick actually worked. It was an accomplishment in and of itself. Lisa should be very proud. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if she started acing the subject... like, tomorrow.

Done with carving, Noah tidied up his table by vanishing the excess pumpkin skins and flesh, as he listened to Professor Carton's next instructions. So... they get to keep one? Nice! While Noah listed the possible places in his head to plant his jack-o-lantern, the Gryffindor looked at his Padawan and turned to his Vader Pumpkin. "One tap should do the trick." he replied tapping his pumpkin and watched it come to life. The cackling though... haha! "Think I should place one of the Troopers by your Dormitory entrance?" Noah asked as he inscribed his name at the back of the first stormtrooper pumpkin. "I heard Heath's also a fan?" he said looking towards the older Ravenclaw's table.

"This is not the pumpkin you're looking for." ~ Jedi Master Noah Mordaunt
