 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Phoenix was rather fascinated by the kappa in the tank. Of course he knew what they were, but he'd never seen one up close before and now was really the most opportune time with it being in the tank, not easily able to harm anyone. He recorded some observations about it in his journal while the professor spoke and his classmates contributed to the discussion.
But when it was time to get a cucumber, the third year set aside his still opened journal to magically retrieve the vegetable. "What do kappas do with the cucumbers, Professor?" he asked curiously before accio'ing the vegetable to him. He was always a fan of doing things the magical way. He was a wizard after all and welcomed the practice. "Do they eat them, or do something else with them?" He imagined the most logical answer was that they ate them, but this kappa was about to be overwhelmed with cucumbers. It was also a funny thought to think about kappas with an inscribed cucumber collection.
And yes, he would be inscribing the cucumber magically as well. Phoenix was not as familiar with this inscribing spell, but he really appreciated the chance to learn a new spell and to practice it. He had watched the professor demonstrate, then practiced the incantation and wand movement himself before putting it all together. "Scribere!" he commanded as he slowly traced his name - Phoenix Marchbanks. The letters began to etch into the cucumber, though it felt a little sloppy to the Ravenclaw. Clearly he would need more practice with this spell.
