"I don't think anyone will mind," Lily said waving her hand. "But nevertheless, take full responsibility." She sat on the floor and rolled a small bouncy ball from her bag back and forth between her hands. "What about The Super Evil Burrrrrrrrrrnator?"

"Sounds way more fitting than just the burrrrnator," Dante replied as he inspected the trophy inside and out, for no other reason than pure curiosity. "With which part of it do you think I should touch it?"

"The part that looks hardest and most able to resist it," Lily asked. "And also a part of it that is in the center. So to, you know, protect your hands." She thought for a moment. "And make sure you hold it out. Don't hold it against like your stomach, because I'm not sure how far in that thing will burn. Or whatever it is that it does."

"That was along my line of thoughts," Dante commented as he held the trophy by it's side handles, it's lower part facing the front towards the silver ball. "Don't want to ruin my shirt," he added in a mumble to himself.
When the trophy was only millimeters away from it he hesitated, stopping there for a couple of seconds.

"Go on," Lily said. "It's now or never right? Either it only affects human skin or it affects everything. I'm not sure I can watch. I've already seen what it does." She looked away, covering her eyes.

Without saying anything back Dante proceeded to end what he had started. With one short and quick impulse of both his hands, while his nose scrunched and forehead frowned thinking of what could happen next, the lower wooden part of the trophy touched the ball.
At first, surprisingly, nothing happened. thing that cause Dante's facial expressions to turn back to normal. It probably only acts that way towards softer materials such as skin and flesh he thought along with a shrug before he perceived something strange.
"Whoa!" he exclaimed loudly in pure surprise as he saw the wood begin to turn charcoal at the parts it was touching it.
To transfixed to move it away he watched the process go further. Now black charcoal dust was beginning to fall slowly down and to settle next to the silver ball, right under the trophy.

Lily looked up quickly. "Dante!" She exclaimed. "Get away from that before you get burned yourself! What will happen if it comes up to the handles? It's burning. Burning it all away into oblivion!" She began to pace nervously. They had to get it out of there but how?

"It's not quick enough for me to not be able to retrieve my hands before it reaches the handles. Besides," he begun to reply not bothering to remove the trophy yet. "We don't know if it will eat up the metal too. Thing I believe highly unlikely."

"Did you not see what it did to the wood and my finger?" Lily said. "I think the only thing it wouldn't eat through is dragonhide gloves. Those things are indestrucible. I've never heard of anything that's destroyed them yet. They last a lifetime too." She added randomly at the end.

Sometimes Dante gave up rather quickly if talked into doing so, this was one of those times.
He took the trophy away from the silver ball and put it back where it had been before. Since it couldn't stand up correctly, now that half of it's lower part was burnt, he leaned it against the closest trophy. With a bit of luck no one would notice the difference -at least not while they were still there-.
"You happen to have a pair of gloves in your bag?" he asked, turning around to face her.

"No sorry," Lily said. "I don't consider that an essential item. After all, you don't go around finding Super Evil Burrrrrrrrrrnators every single day now do you? Even if you do go to a magic school, it's still not all that common."

"I sure hope not. Super evil burrrrrnators can be...well...evil." Dante replied and couldn't help but chuckle at the obviousness of what he had said. Besides, he couldn't help but find it funny to extend the pronunciation of the r for so long.
"Mine should be in my trunk which should be in my dorms, I think," he added as he composed himself. This was a serious and somewhat complicated situation, it was no time to act silly.
He rubbed his chin in thought and scrunched his nose as much as it was possible -thing which he was doing a lot today for no apparent reason-.
"Any smart ideas of how to get it to a professor without burning our hands off and not letting it standing here for someone to come and do the same you did a while ago?" Dante finally questioned while still, trying very hard, to think of a solution to their problem.

"One of us could guard it while the other ran to get gloves?" Lily suggested with a shrug. "Seems like the only solution." She thought for a moment. "Which house are you in? I'm trying to figure out who would be best to go be a runner."

"Ravenclaw, " Dante replied. "Was on my way there before I stumbled across you."
He was not sure why he asked the next question, for he had no idea where the other houses were nor which one was closer than his but, still he did. "Which one are you in? Although you could probably get wherever you want to quicker than me. I've never been to mine before. Following the indications I was given will take me some time."

"I'll go then," Lily said with a small smile. "I'm in Ravenclaw too, so it looks like we'll be seeing a fair amount of each other then. Make sure you talk to Drew and Hiro first before you go into your dorms. They safeguard them against girls and they've got to be some nasty traps." She slipped out of the room, leaving Dante alone.
