...

Unbelievable. The one time her wand actually decided to work left her feeling nothing but bored. Now she knew why she messed up so often; it gave her something to do. Sure she was happy 'cause she got it and now she wouldn't look like such an idiot with everyone else getting it but ...it just wasn't the same. When she had to work hard at the spell she felt happier when she got it. This time it just seemed...to easy? Was that it?

With nothing really occupying her time she decided to have a second go at the spell. Raising her wand hand she pointed at a red ball and cleared her throat. Intent. Right. "Depulso!"

This time the ball bounced off the rim of the basket and came darting towards her. She ducked, hoping it hadn't severely hurt anyone but really, she was more glad it didn't rearrange her face.

Lex grinned. Gosh she missed getting stuff wrong and noooow she could try again! The Professor didn't say they had to limit themselves to only one ball and besides she was getting in some practice. Turning to another blue one because blue was amazing she took aim. "Depulso!" This time she watched in satisfaction as the ball went into the basket. Now she felt like she earned it and in fact she could do this all day--or well...until the Professor changed the activity anyway.
