i got the magic in me ( open )
CHARACTERS: Lily Evans & YOU
LOCATION: O2 Gardens, second floor ( jungle )
WARNINGS: magic!!!!!!!! nah, nothin.
SUMMARY: Lily's practicing magic in the gardens because what else would she be doing?
[ some people bake when they're stressed out. some clean, some drink, some eat, some party. Lily? Lily practices her magic when she's stressed. which sounds like a poor decision, like operating heavy machinery when you're tired, but really it helps, just a little bit. both because it takes her mind off of whatever is stressing her out, and because the amped up emotions help drive her magic a little further than it might stretch normally. it's usually not very smart to feed on a negative emotion, but, she's learned to turn it into determination, more than anything else. so she's stressed, but she's channeling it into something useful. which is something to feel good about!
so she's found herself in the O2 Garden, after getting sick of practicing in the cold, steely rec room on her floor, wand out, even though she hasn't actually cast any spells just yet. no, right now she's just thinking. tracing patterns in the air to leave a faint brush of sparkles behind, practicing the patterns she's just memorized this week as she mentally goes through the list of spells she needs to get through in today's predetermined schedule. not that she's planned for any advanced magic ( no Animagus studies today, no Apparation either ), but it's still quite a lot to get through. it's just like she's back at school doing her homework! only these are entirely self inflicted assignments. right.
she pulls in a slow breath, training her wand on the small pile of leaves she collected off of a tree and placed in the middle of a nearby path. it's not ideal, working with leaves when you're surrounded by more leaves, but she's focused. ]
Wingardium leviosa. [ a basic charm, but she's doing it to isolate the pile of leaves. then- ] Avifors. [ she transfigures those leaves into birds. tadaaa! after speaking with Margaery, the spell has been on her mind, and so.. why not, right? it's another basic spell, but she figures she'll practice transfiguring birds before conjuring them. yeah. for now, she has a small flock of little birds fluttering around in unison, in whichever way she directs her wand. brilliant. ]
