 *copies Anna* -> Aguamenti! ^___^ Also, let's pretend this isn't long okay? The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion
Okay, he really hadn't thought this through, had he? He was going to have to go to the FRONT and DEMONSTRATE a spell. In front of the whole class. Him. In the front. All alone. Demonstrating Aguamenti. Was he insane volunteering for this?! Apparently so. But that thought wasn't new somehow. He'd been thinking that a lot lately. This was only more proof that he was indeed insane.
Lewis hesitated at his desk for a moment, looking up at the ceiling while taking a deep breath. "I-I can go next, yes." Okay, he could do this. He could do this. He could do th- Was there any chance he could just leave? Pretend he was about to faint or something? Just run out? But no, it was too late now. He HAD to go up to the front. Plus, he was a Prefect, he was supposed to be a rolemodel and rolemodels didn't just panic and run out of class like this. So there. Plus, Sierra had survived too. OMG! What if he failed now, it would be the most embarrassing thing of the year probably.
Deeeep breath.
Once he was at the front, Lewis tried his best to ignore the blush that had formed on his cheeks and closed his eyes for a moment. "H-hello." Yeah, that was a really really bad start. "Hi." This was no better. He wasn't here to greet them but to demonstrate a spell. Which was why he just simply reached for the bucket real quick in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. Hey, maybe he could put the bucket in front of his face somehow...but no, that wouldn't work either. Since he was supposed to show the younger students how the spell worked. And for that they would actually have to SEE him perform the spell.
Okay. Here we go. "I'll be showing you how the Aguamenti spell works. T-there will be water coming out of the tip of my wand." Hopefully. But he was going to try and get all of it into the bucket. Maybe he should say a little bit more about the spell first? Yes? He glanced at Professor Magnus for a moment before deciding just go with what he thought was right. Since he was SO good at doing the right thing. Plus, Sierra had done it too. "As s-somebody mentioned before...Messer?" It had been him hadn't it? Right?! Not that it mattered too much. "Well, as somebody mentioned earlier, Aguamenti is a conjuration spell and that's why it's considered a transfiguration spell. Because conjuration is part of transfiguration." They should write that down in case they didn't know that. Yes, he was even giving them some time to do that.
That and he used the time wisely to take a couple of deep breaths to stop himself from panicking.
He took the bucket into one hand to draw his wand - he should have probably done that before - and pointed it into the bucket. "The w-wand movement is quite...easy." Was he allowed to say that? That didn't mean that the SPELL was easy or anything. "You just point it at whatever you want to...or well, wherever you want to have the water." Obviously. And why was he so bad at explaining things? "The incanation is Aguamenti. And you say it like AH-gwa-MEN-tee." He was tempted to write it onto the board but then again he was no professor. And Sierra hadn't done it either. Oh, and he really wanted to go back to his seat. That too.
Lewis waited a moment, as long as he could get himself to, before clearing his throat and tightening his grip on his wand. "Okay, here we go..." Hopefully this would work out. "Aguamenti!" YES! There was water coming out of his wand! He actually smiled a little, relief clearly plastered across his face as he glanced at the professor again for a moment. And the flowers in her hand. They were quite nice. Even though they made him think of something else.
Anyway, though, how much water did she need? |
