Should have no trouble with this one, he mused to himself with a small smirk before letting his face return to normal. He listened carefully to the instructions Wes gave so he knew exactly what was expected from him before giving a nod of understanding and going to work, his wand out.

Walking further into the room, he focused on one flying cup in particular before raising his wand to catch it as it neared. "Arresto momentum!" , the man cast, the spell slowing it down to the point where he could catch it without too much trouble. The cup-bird fidgetting in his grasp, he gently shifted it to hold in one hand before giving another swish as he cast the non-verbal charm, the bird finally returning to its rightful shape.

With no other place to put it as he walked to the table with the potion, Gavin settled it on his shoulder for the moment so he could see what he could do with it. "Ok so its yellow and wrong so it would be a...shrinking solution," he mused quietly to himself as he double checked it with the notes.

Finding it correct and and the solution, he picked up the vial of leech juice and added just a dash before waiting the required 5 minutes to see if it worked enough. When it was still too yellow, he repeated the process a few more times including the waiting till it was finally green. Satisfied, he picked up a quill and carefully added the potion to it, watching it shrink before returning to Wes for his permission to go on, taking the bird in hand and moving it from his shoulder to the other man's.

"Present for you, Wes," he said with a small smile.



Wes smiled. Hehe. He'd taught his employees well, obviously, since they were all flying through this course! He chuckled at the canary and nodded. "Thanks, Gavin! Oh, and you can move on," he told his division head.

I work in the Auror Division, Magical Law Enforcement.” He then finds a seat and listens to the lecture. Edward makes sure he takes detailed notes because he has no experience with household mishaps. When Wesley finishes, Edward proceeds to the next room.

As soon as he closes the door, Edward finds himself in a disaster zone. Mops walk around on their own. One even steps on his foot. Edward tries to grab the thing, but let’s go when he’s bombarded by flying canary/cup things. The air are full of them. Obviously a transfiguration class assignment that go away from the teacher. Edward tries the catch the next one that hits him but can’t. The cups are just moving too fast. Wesley mentioned something about a charm that slows things down. I need to use that on these cups. Edward looks his notes over and finds the Aresto Momentum. That charm slows things down. It should work on the cups.

Edward points his wand in the air and performs a silent Aresto Momentum Charm. He manages to hit one of the canary/cups on the third try. Edward has no trouble catching one now. He holds it in his left hand while he looks his notes over again. This cup/canary must be under the influence of a transfiguration charm go awry. I need to reverse the effects and get the poor canary back to his old self. The Homorphus Charm should do the trick. Edward points his wand at the canary/cup and performs a silent Homorphus Charm. The cup turns back into a darling yellow canary. Edward releases the bird. He flies happily around the room. One down. One to go.

The second part of the test says he must fix an incorrectly brewed potion. Edward makes his way to the end of the room. He finds a giant cauldron full of bright yellow potion. A yellow potion… If you don’t chop the daisy root properly, the Shrinking Solution will look yellow. The Calming Draught does not turn yellow when brewed improperly. That potion turns dark blue, so this must be the Shrinking Solution. Now, how do I fix it? Edward checks his notes and looks around for a bottle of leech juice. The instructions say you use leech juice to correct this problem. Edward takes out his watch and opens the bottle of leech juice. When his second hand moves to one of the numbers, he pours in a dash of leech juice. Edward watches his watch and the potion to see if there is a change in color. Five minutes passes and the color is still yellow. He waits for the clock to get into the right position and adds another dash of leech juice. It takes another three dashes and five minute intervals in between for the potion to turn green. The instructions say that’s the color the potion should be. Edward finds a ladle of potion and pours it over one of the feathers. It shrinks to half its normal size. Mission accomplished.





"Nice to meet you, Edward," Wes said to the man. He watched as the employee flew through the challenge with flying colors. "Excellent! You may proceed," he said.

Oliver tried to rethink what he had to do. If it wasn't a Calming Draught potion than the only other option was the Shrinking Solution. He looked at the potion, which was currently incorrect as it were yellow. He thought long and hard and came to the conclusion that the daisy roots had been chopped incorrectly. Knowing what he had to do he went over to the ingredients to grab the leech juice. He stood over the potion and added leech juice a total of three times over the next fifteen minutes. Once the potion had turned a solid green color Oliver took one of the quills and added a couple of drops to it. As it shrunk before his eyes he looked for the instructor for his approval.

Violet listened to the instructions, then stepped through the door and was promptly hit in the face by a flying teacup, which sent yellow feathers out in a little poof as it collided with her cheek. Blinking like a fish, she carefully ducked around the teacup to examine her surroundings.

"Right then," she said to herself. The first thing she had to do was lift the enchantments on...something. Her eyes landed on he griant Pygmy Puffs. "That will do," she said.

Violet walked over to the closest one. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at the oversized toy. "Diminuendo." The puff shrank back to its originals size and fell to the floor. Violet smiled, pleased with herself.

She then moved on to the potion. Okay, so it was yellow. Violet squinted back at the note at the front of the room. Yellow option...yellow potion... "Ah, here is is. I guess it's the Shrinking Solution, then." She walked over to the cauldron and looked inside. She was tempted to put a finger in, but decided that would be a downright stupid thing to do.

Violet bit her lip for a moment, thinking. whoever had made this potion had clearly neglected to cut their roots evenly! She picked up the leech juice and tapped the side of the bottle, letting it flow out very slowly. With a final tap, a small amount of juice was shaken out. Violet pulled her hand back and watched as the potion faded to a slightly more green color. She repeated this step until the potion was green again. after a time lapse of nearly twenty minutes, her feet were tired, so she put the bottle down and flexed her leg muscles, moving her feet around in a circle at the ankle, trying to get the blood flowing again. Violet picked up a feather and dipped it quickly in the potion, careful not to touch the surface with her hand. As she watched, the feather shrunk. Good! She smiled and looked towards Wes for approval.
