Nymphadora Tonks - Reserved Application - 9 of 9
Tonks sat down at her desk and sat her cup of tea down within reach. She then lifted the lid of the boxy thing, her grandfather called a laptop. It was a birthday present but Tonks wasn’t sure what to do with it. According to her grandfather, her dad’s dad, laptops were going to be the next big thing for Muggles. Tonks wasn’t sure but she loved her grandfather. She was willing to give it a go for him.
While waiting for her laptop to start up, Tonks picked up a piece of paper and read it again. Her granddad had written her out a list of directions. It seemed simple enough but Tonks could not imagine how this was going to be the next big thing. Already she could feel the heat from the contraption radiating on her desk and it hadn’t even been on for five minutes.
“Okay, let’s give this a go.” Tonks used her pointer finger and thumb to navigate and click. “It’s too bloody early for me to be this dexterous,” she muttered as she clicked a series of folders until she came to the desired location. Checking to make sure that her phone line was plugged in, Tonks initiated the dial-up process. While waiting, her fingers began to drum on the edge of her computer. This was not going to be an activity for her if it required this much patience. Finally, she heard static and then a few high-pitched noises. That meant it was working, she hoped.
She thought it might take a few minutes so she reached, without looking, for her cup of tea. If she had been looking, she might not have knocked her cup of tea which wouldn’t have then sent a flood of brown liquid all over her desk and laptop. Tonks panicked and in trying to clean up her mess, she just made it worse. She didn’t believe that laptops were supposed to sizzle. “Bloody hell!”
Tonks took out her wand and flicked it at the desk. “Scourgify!” The computer screen still hadn’t come back on. “Tergeo! Oh Merlin! Reparo!” The last charm seemed to do something. Tonks sat back down and tried to click a few things. A look of confusion crossed her face. The screen had changed.
“Why am I looking at ducks?”
