Dante simply shrugged in reply. It wasn't like had no confidence in himself but, performing a charm for the first time on someone he had just met wasn't something he looked forward to.
"You do the explaining and I'll try my best," he said trying to sound as positive as possible.

"Alright," ((Oh sure make me think of the spell.)) Lily studied the book for a moment. "Alright here's what you do. It's not very difficult. You just place your wand to my finger and say the incantation. The inicantation is Crudus Desino." She sounded it out very slowly for him. "Alright, do you think you got it?"

((Who?!? ME?!? Noooo...*tries to look innocent*))
"Kinda," he replied as he re-read the explanation on the books page. "Trying never hurt a soul, right?"
Dante took his wand out the back pocket of his pants, thing he would have done anyway since sitting on a wand ain't the most comfortable thing you can do, and practiced once while mouthing the word to the thin air.
"Ok, stretch the finger out and cross the ones from the other hand hoping it works correctly." Dante said with a slight smile as he prepared his wand and his mind for the spell.
Though you couldn't tell by his facial expression, or anything else, he was quiet worried about the blood. Don't let it drip on my pants... not my favorite pants...please.

Lily slowly unwrapped it and rested it on her leg. She withdrew her other hand to behind her back and crossed her fingers. She closed her eyes. Watching made her nervous. That and her finger grossed her out. "Alright I'm ready," she said. "Work some magic."

Dante inhaled deeply, act that had become an habit before doing something he had never tried before, and pointed the wand at Lily's finger.
"Here goes nothing," he muttered softly while checking that his wand was pointing at the right place. "Crudus Desino."
As the the incantation was said Dante's eyes closed. He could not see if it had worked or not, or if he had deformed Lily's finger or made it only bleed even more than before.
Only seconds later he barely lifted his right eyelid, just enough to peek at the finger. Only problem was that the finger was still covered in blood and this way he could see much more.
At least it still looks like before...
"Does it feel any better?" he asked softly, still not daring to completely open both eyes.

"Yeah it does," Lily said, opening her eyes. "It's covered in blood but, hold up." She touched her finger with her other hand. "The blood's dry and it's hard underneath there - it's scabbed over I think. Hold on, if you don't mind could I go wash up? I don't like this blood on me very much."

Dante had to bite his tongue to not spit out that cleaning spells was something he was particularly good at. For some unknown reason he thought it wouldn't give a good impression of himself if he did. He had had too many experiences of being mocked because of this type of comments to do it.
"No, not at all." he replied, with his eyes open again, and smiling. "You feel good enough to not faint on your way there?"

"Yeah," Lily said. "I've lost a bit of blood, but I'll deal. I'm a tough cookie." She said, standing up. "I'll be right back." She slipped out of the room, taking with her her wand, leaving Dante alone in the room.
She returned a few short moments later. Her shirt had been cleaned with a cleaning spell and her hands and everything else washed off. She gave a bit of a sheepish grin to Dante. "I'm sorry that was such a way to meet and to put you on the spot like that."

As soon as Lily was gone Dante stood up and walked over to the silver ball that had caused her the injury. He was tempted to poke it with his wand but, what if it burned off it's tip? That was a risk he wasn't willing to take. He would have to find something else to perform the experiment.
Turning around he surveyed his surroundings. Maybe a stick or a piece of paper -or simply anything besides him and his wand- could serve the purpose. He had seen so many things that could have come in handy on his way up but, now that he needed something couldn't spot a single thing.
He was still looking around the room when lily's voice interrupted him. So as to look her straight in the face he had to look up from the floor to her.
"No need to be sorry," he stated. "I've always enjoyed meeting new people, the circumstances don't really matter ninety nine percent of the cases."

"Don't touch it," Lily said, noticing the position where he was. "Please don't touch it. This hurt like heck and I'm sure I'm going to have to be really careful with this scab for a while and I don't want to have to take you to the hospitial wing if you go and do something stupid like touch it even though we know what it does. That would be just Slytherinish."

"I might look stupid from time to time but I'm not that stupid. Trust me." Dante assured her seriously. "I'm actually looking for something to poke it or something like that. You have anything in your bag that could be useful for that?"

Lily gave him a look that said 'Are-you-serious?' "Everything in my bag is either important or full of memories and if that," she glanced at it. "Thing, does what it did to my finger they'll be wrecked. Besides I think it's best we report it to a professor or something. We should give it a name though." She added thoughtfully.

"But I'm interested to see if it has a different reaction to other kind of materials. Only problem is that I'm to fond of my wand to test it with it." he said pensively as his eyes begun to wander around the room again. There had to be something. "Later on we can report it."
"Silly or logical name?" Dante questioned moving over to inspect a shelf fool of what abounded in the room... trophies.

"Silly, but logical," Lily said. "All at the same time. Something like Super Evil Ball of Burning Doom, only that's way too long. And it makes me feel ridiculous." She followed him with her eyes. "Pick an unimportant one, no one will miss it. Something like an award for Special Services to the School or something like that."

"Only one I can think of right now is 'the burrrrrnator'. Just like it sounds, with many r's. But I'm not really sure if I like it yet" he replied as he picked up the biggest trophy he could find.
"Might as well pick one big enough to take it away and not get myself burned while attempting to cause it was all consumed at the point i realized what was happening." Dante explained rather quickly before Lily could say anything. "If it gets any major damage I'll take total responsibility of it."
