This girl looked nervous. Good. Could have been because Ivy was knew and she didn't know her. Could have been just her personality. She couldn't tell yet.
"Alright, Miss Wheatborn... Tell my why you think you only got an A on your OWL. What did you do wrong? And be specific." Recognizing mistakes was a big part in improvement, was it not?
Minerva watched the professor, she seemed to be really listening, was that a good sign, maybe, hopefully... Oh and she was saying Miss Wheatborn, so formal. Min was use to Minerva from professor, but not many used her last name. What she did wrong, Minerva thought and frowned in frustration, looking to the floor she had many reasons why she might have done bad, but she hadn't pinpointed it to a specific thing.
"Well that's the problem professor, I've went through everything through my brain and I can't figure out the pinpoint to my failure." She knew an A wasn't completely a failure, but in her eyes it really was.
"I do know that I couldn't think of at least one spell and might have screwed up on another. We had a few steps in the exam, and I know that I did the banishing charm, the polishing charm, the water charm fine, but I could not remember the charm to record a voice and I'm not sure I did the correct spell to animated the rubber duck." Continuing to frown she was still very upset with herself.
Thinking more she wasn't sure about the written exam,
"I thought I did alright in my written exam, but I'm assuming maybe not since I ended up with an A." She wasn't sure if that was exactly what Professor Knox was looking for, but it was the truth.
