I looked around nervously. By entering the room I seem to only have disturbed the bees slightly. I was being very still and they were buzzing about the room as if I was not there. My mind raced, how was I to capture these huge bees alive? One false move and hundreds of them would decend on me and sting me to... well... death! Then I remembered something. In the fourth year I had seen Ron Weasley stop a bee mid air with the Impediment Jinx. I decided to try it. I poised my wand and cried; "Impedimenta!" The first thing I noticed was the noise. The constant buzzing and droning that had filled the air just moments ago had stopped. The bees, some of them almost teh size of my fist, hung, still in the air, hundreds of them like snowflakes on a Christmas card. Although slightly more stipey and a lot more deadly... Now how to get them out of here? I picked up a huge sack that had been thrust in my hand as my task had been explained to me, I'd almost forgotten about it. I had an idea. I took a deep breath and pointed my wand at the nearest bee to me. It was hanging a few inches in front of my face and if it is possible for a bee to look confused, that one certainly did. "Locomotor Giant Barnacle Bee" As I moved my wand the bee followed it through the air, and into the sack. I exhaled. A sigh of relief. One down, hundreds more to go... I thought. It took over an hour, being as careful as possible to move the bees, in case the Impedimenta jinx wore off, but enentually the air was cleared of floating bees. I tied a knot in the side of the sack and gently lifted it and took it out of the door, my task completed!
