Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sonora noticed a slight emphasis in how Vespera pronounced "excellent"--but surely that was just Vespera being theatrical? For a moment she squinted, wondering if Ves was trying to communicate some secret message--but was quickly brought back to focusing on transfiguration, eggspecially once Vespera asked about transfiguring a teacup to an egg.

"Theoretically?" she mused, pulling her textbook over and skimming the text for rules against transfiguring food into objects. "I mean if we can transfigure creatures, I don't know a spell that does teacup to egg though..."

She took a seat, flipping through the book and her notes. Would that be on the exam? We've done Reparifarge, that's.....Untransfiguration...and the rest...transformation, transformation... we didn't do anything in conjuration or vanishment did we yet? Different branches of transfiguration-- oh it does talk about food!

"Well we can't conjure food because of Nature Limitations," she read, moving over to point the passage out to her friends. "But I guess it doesn't say anything about transformation spells...and if you can make creatures from objects--not that I'm saying we should eat Oxnard--but theoretically?"

▬▬"Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. " ▬▬

"A question for after finals perhaps. Maybe we best just ask Professor what's his name next school year. It'll be our number 2 priority. Why do we need transfiguration anyways..." She trailed of frowning, then burst into a grin and picked her bag up, "I need the thing to do the thing." She rummaged through her bag and held on to her eggs. "Think fast egg-face!" She threw two of the eggs straight at Jonah. Then she pulled her wand out, "Wingardium Leviosa!" and pointed to the third and fourth eggs she had, and charmed them to go above Jonah's head, and fall.

She began laughing, not even caring if they hit Jonah or not, "I've been waiting to do that since Easter!" She opened her book and placed a checkmark next to "Egg Jonah."

▬▬"Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. " ▬▬

Vespera laughed when Jonah made his reaction to her eggs. That was, until he gave her that grin. "Um, no thanks. I don't need a hug." She backed away from him, and went towards Sona. She hoped that maybe Jonah wouldn't get all three of them covered in egg, if he did, who would tell the others that Sona had invited where they were and what was going on? "How about, you keep your daily hug for later. I mean, I would love the hug, but Jonah, you smell." She grinned, ready for her next insult, "I mean, typical boy. This is likely just the start of you smelling all the time until you learn how to use non-stinking things properly." She still went and stood directly behind Sona, which was convenient because Sona was a bit taller than Vespera, making an excellent shield from Jonah.

Sonora jumped up, snatching her wand in surprise when Vespera said to think fast, even if it wasn't directed at her. She covered her nose with a sleeve at the terrible smell but couldn't suppress the giggles, especially when Jonah threatened Vespera with a hug and Ves threw insults to follow up on the eggs. She let Vespera use her as a shield, laughing too hard to protest.

"Wait---haha--wait, let me try something-- Reparo," she pointed her wand mid-giggle at a cluster of egg shells clinging to Jonah's hair. The shell reformed correctly, but there was nothing to be done about the spilled yolk tangled in his hair and now she just had an empty, sticky shell in hand.

And then a prefect appeared, before she could even make to wipe the sticky egg on anyone. Sonora mirrored Jonah's movement and stood up straight even though she was more amused than contrite: In a matter of minutes, they'd gone from wondering whether teacups tasted good to explaining why Jonah had egg all over him...and why Vespera kept months-old eggs around. She wondered if the prefect knew a spell for transfiguring food. Or cleaning eggs out of hair and robes. Nothing was ever dull with Vespera and Jonah around.

"We--," she stopped when she realized "We were wondering if there was a teacup-egg transfiguration spell similar to Fallorodentia and if the egg would just taste like teacups" didn't really answer the question of what had happened. Thankfully Jonah had a better response. Vespera even had a story. Sonora looked away as innocently as she could, desperately trying to suppress her smile when Ves started.

"We tried to fixing it but that didn't go well." she added quietly, holding up the hollow egg shell helpfully. She suspected Prefect Travers wouldn't have minded much if they just told the truth--he seemed more curious than convicting, and what was so bad about messing up a few levitation spells after all? She resolved that if he did find suspicious with Vespera's story, she'd speak up more clearly. But for now, she was just going to go with the much more fun explanation.

"It really was just practicing charms," Sonora spoke up when the perfect seemed unconvinced. ”There was a...direct..offensive maneuver that was demonstrated..the egging technique? But aside from the smell, no harm done?” she added with a pointed smirk at her Slytherin friend and the dripping egg mess in her own hand.

"If we’re going to get detention can we serve it with Professor Drage? We have questions for him! Or...Professor Laslow?" She slept through Astonomy class entirely too much and spending any amount of awake time in that classroom would be beneficial, at least for her.

▬▬"Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. " ▬▬

Vespera smiled, "Thank you Prefect Travers. We'll stick to the books for studying. We wouldn't want you to come back and witness anything strange happening, would we Jonah?" She was relieved they wouldn't get in trouble this time, and hoped the threat of the Prefect coming back would keep Jonah from retaliating for now. They had just barely gotten off, at least in the eyes of the first year Slytherin. At least they did learn something, they weren't that great at making up excuses, and if they wanted to get away with something, they should probably all get their story straight first, before someone had the chance to catch them.
