Maddie had carefully removed her ONE flower from the tip of her wand and planted it carefully in the ice garden, smiling proudly as she did. The problem WAS, she'd only produced ONE. Something told her that only one wasn't good enough to earn her any kind of props in this class.
The first year shifted a little and decided that maybe a different type of flower could work. Something she'd seen countless times and would have no trouble picturing in her mind. ...Roses. Her dad was ALWAYS getting her mom roses. It was gag-worthy, really, but still. It was a flower she had seen and touched and smelt so she could do this. If anything, she could make ONE rose and one wasn't GREAT but it was SOMETHING.
Concentrating on the flower AND producing it, the twelve year old made the semicircular motion with her wand and said clearly, "Orchideous Stiriacus!" Her eyes widened slightly as not one but TWO roses were now within arms reach from her and though it wasn't exactly a bouquet like some were producing, it was something. It was MORE than one. That meant she was getting better, right? ...SURE it did.
Gosh, she was good at this.
