His expression of wonder got dull, and the small smile that had formed vanished soon after. It didn't mean anything, but seeing Alexa so excited and happy was contagious.
"I didn't even visualise," he explained as if that was the only reason he had failed so far. "It's... I did it, yeah?" His negative logic and positive logic was battling inside his head. "Maybe I should try that body binding spell." Positive logic had won, and he was hopeful again.
For now.
She was about to clear her throat and begin her excited yelling again because it didn't seem like he'd heard her the first time. He'd gotten the spell right. She nearly flooded the potions class because she couldn't do it and here he was on the first try but she wasn't going to mention it. He had a knack for taking every story she told him and turning it into something that made him feel even worse.
Instead she continued grinning and sure enough the excitement caught hold of him and he was being positive again! Oooo, he didn't want to leave anymore either! Now all she had to do was be careful so he didn't go back to being in a slump.
"Definitely! I see no reason why you shouldn't!" He was doing good so far and she wasn't about to discourage him
even though she was slightly panicking on the inside because she didn't want his spell not working and him crying.
"He looks like he's still trying to catch his bearings. You could give it a shot now before he comes to his sense or do you want me to freeze him again until you get a better handle on the spell?"
Either could work.
