<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF0000"><div style="text-align: center;">Bernice Angelique Stern</div></span></span><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Once her reply had been sent, Bernice didn’t think about anything other than preparing herself for the interview with Severus Snape. It was a great opportunity, and she was prepared to endure a very difficult test in order for the man to know whether or not she was ready to be his apprentice. Since she didn’t know what the test was, Bernice decided to take a little something to serve as a testament to her ability to work with complex spells and potions.<br/><br/>For the rest of that day, Bernice worked hard on what she had set out to do. <br/><br/>Once she was done, Bernice was tired, but satisfied. At a first glance, they looked like nothing but a pair of ordinary gloves. They were dark and embroidered in silver thread at an intricate pattern. <br/><br/>Putting them on, Bernice smiled when she saw the gloves adjust to her hands. This part had definitely gone right. She needed to test the second part as well, before she could present the gift to Professor Snape. Removing the gloves from her hands, Bernice went to look for her herbs. She looked around for the right  one and picked out the one she could use for the test. <br/><br/>Placing a few leaves of a poisonous herb on her work table, Bernice put the gloves on again and picked them up. With a sigh of relief, the girl put the leaves down. It was working as expected, warming up when in contact with dangerous herbs. Once satisfied with her work, Bernice pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote the properties of the gloves, before placing them inside a dark wooden box and sealing it with a spell so that only the rightful owner could open it.<br/><br/>Her work finished, Bernice finally left her workspace and went to pack for her upcoming trip to Hogwarts. Since she wasn’t sure about whether or not she would be accepted, the girl packed lightly, having only a day or two in mind. Should she need to, Bernice would send for the rest of her clothes and items after the interview.<br/><br/>((OOC: Feel free to skip to their meeting if you wish!))</div>
