[He tugs Tony's hand away quickly and examines the dead reactor, brow furrowing as he mutters:]
... It's wrong. It's not meant to be like this-
[He hadn't examined the previous adult Tony's arc reactor in THAT much detail but he knew how it was meant to work and what it was meant to look like. And this wasn't it. There was no magic. No wonder it was dead...]
Breathe.
[He gets his wand from his robes and casts a spell without thinking, making the dead reactor generate magnetic waves towards the shrapnel without powering it up. He doesn't even know how long the spell will last, he's not a doctor, not yet, and all he can think now is that he has to get Tony to one of the professors before it does run out.]
That should hold for half an hour, maybe. We need to hurry, come on. [Tugs on Tony's wrist, heading for the dorm exit.]
