Or maybe she just sucked as a witch.

She glanced up as Bart said to wait. Hm? Had she done something wrong?Brynn allowed him to mold her fingers tighter around her wand. "Oh.. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong," she said, looking at the wand in her hand. She looked up and nodded at his advice. "Oh.. okay. I'll try." He would know, being a year older and having already learned a little more about spellwork that she had so far.

Brynn grabbed another carrot with her nonwand hand and crunched on it while she watched Bart performed the spell. Or try to. She gave him a reassuring smile when it turned into a flat piece of wood. "Better than I could do all class," she said, then turned to her own block and tried to enunciate the words properly. "Lignum.. Lingum.." Sigh. "Lingnum.." Brynn pointed, then tapped her wand. "Lingnum Navicula! ......did it flatten out a little bit?" She peered at it a little closer. There wasn't much change to her block, but there was some.. right?

Bart watched as Brynny worked on the words and tried to hold in a chuckle. Then he looked at her unchanged wood. "Yep I see it right there." He pointed to a corner. "It changed slightly there, but next time maybe be more confident in how you say it. Alexa told me to visualize it and concentrate." Shrugging "It seem to work for her at least she got a pretty good boat in class." From what he saw, but that was when he thought the prefect was cool. That was before she yelled at him. He was still sore about that. Chomping on another carrot.

He could visualize all he wanted it was the concentration that everyone knew Bart struggled at. He looked back down at his flat wood and tried to visualize the boat. Okay he could do this. A boat he did it in class. That object that has sides and floats in water. He could do it. Yes let's do it, but then his mind wen to being thirsty. Yes a drink was needed, "I'm getting some pumpkin juice want some? " He headed near the fridge to grab some.

Coming back it was time to focus again. Focus Bart, focus. Closing his eyes a few seconds he thought about the boat again. Yes he could see a boat. Could he see a boat form from wood? That was harder, but he tried his best to do it. Pulling up his wand and tapping the wood again, "Lingnum Navicula" He tried to stay focused and watch the wood form into a small boat. Was this one lop sided? He looked around it and picked it up, "Does it look right?" He showed it to his friend. The question was would it float? That was part of the process to make sure it did, right?
