Ella decided to try again, hoping this time her red orb wouldn't vanish. She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind so she could focus on the spell. Alright El, you can do this. Just concentrate... Raising her wand, Ella made the lasso motion and said, "Verdimillious Duo!" The red orb had appeared as it did before and seemed slightly stronger than last time. "Okay, now to send it towards the chest..." Ella made the slashing motion and the red orb moved slightly but only to the floor directly in front of her. "Oh Merlin." Ella said, shaking her head. She took a deep breath and then closed her eyes again, trying to focus.
