And JUST when he thought things was about to get easy the next step had to do the tap-swing with the foot thing. Tapping was easy, but as he lifted his leg to swing forward his FOOT caught the back of his other leg and sent this Ravenclaw SPRAWLING towards the floor.

Embarrassing moment number… heck he lost count.

He scrambled back on his feet, but by then they’ve moved to the next part, which was side stepping and sliding. Yeah he can do this-- steeeep and sliiiiiiiide. There see? Easy peasy. And the jazz hands….. what jazz hands?

Last step. He was literally thanking Merlin under his breath. Piiiivoting (in the wrong direction) and POWER FIST!

Yeah! He’s done it!

And there he goes promptly dropping his bum onto the floor.

Huffing and puffing he could only nod his head as thanks when Cela gave them the hand outs. Merlin it looked so simple on paper. He looked up at Louisa when she asked if he wanted water. He nodded but mustered a ”I…I’ll get it for us.” Because it’s the least he could do being such an embarrassment to the ginger Head Girl.

He pushed himself off the floor and hobbled towards the refreshments table, loading a plate with two drinks and several fruit slices before slowly carefully making his way back to where Louisa stood. By that then Cela had started with the incantation and was demonstrating what the spell was for. As he offered the plate to Louisa he once again found himself standing dumbly at the dancing clothes.

Yeah he was never going to get that done is he?

He turned slowly to Louisa, defeat clear on his face ”I… I cant even….” he mumbled as he feebly pointed at the graceful garments ”Maybe if I wore the clothes that you do the spell on then maybe I’ll be able to muster the spell myself.” since he wouldn’t have to worry about the movements, just the intent and the spell. Will that work?
