Well, Lily hoped that Violet was ready because they needed to get started.
Carefully, Lily swished and flicked her wand, uttering "Wingardium Leviosa..." But the ball didn't move even the slightest bit. After a deep breath, she tried again. "Wingardium Leviosa!" This time, after a swish and a flick, the ball jumped into the air. Slowly, Lily tried to direct the ball over towards Violet, hoping that her friend would be ready to take over once the ball got close enough. All she had to do now was stay focused.
Oooo, look! An older student is floating in the air!!
Violet hurried over to a spot because they hadn't even started practicing the spell yet. She watched as Lily attempted to do the spell. After a few tries, she got in the air and Violet clapped.
"Yeah! Good job Lily!" Then she caught the ball in her hands. It was light weight so it can't be that hard to do the spell right? The second year placed the ball on the ground, then took out her wand to attempt the spell.
She repeated the wand motion in her head while tracing it with her wand in the air.
Swish and flick
swish and flick
Now Violet was ready. Pointing her wand at the ball, she swished and flicked her wand and said in a steady voice,
Wingardium Leviosa" The ball didn't budge. Violet sighed and tried again and with the same swish and flick, she said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The ball rose in the air slowly and Violet concentrated with all her might to guide it back to Lily. Finally, the spell was harder than she thought.
