Blastended Thing
"Stupid. You're stupid. No! Don't you dare!"
Charlie Weasley lowered his wand as he watched on in amusement at the pink-haired girl. When she got angry her face would literally burn red. It humoured him.
"Weasley, you plan on helping me at any time?" She had dived onto the Blast-ended Skrewt and was now trying to wrestle it. Charlie knew that was the wrong move, but before he could tell her, it had blasted her face.
Thankfully, her special ability allowed her to heal from the sting instantly.
"You know," he began mildly, "you really just have to use your wand to tame it."
She glared up at him. "Alright, show me!" she demanded.
"Step aside."
She obliged to his request.
Pointing his wand directly at the creature, he muttered a spell she couldn't even hear. Suddenly, the big worm all but stood to attention. If it had eyes, they would have been on Charlie in a hypnotic fashion.
"How'd you do that?" she asked gruffly, folding her arms across her chest.
Charlie shrugged. "Natural talent with creatures great and small," he told her.
The girl scowled. "I hate you," she said.
He grinned. "I know," was his reply.
