Again, nothing happened. "Give me one more try," Leah said to Jasmine quickly, and concentrated on filling up the balloon with helium, making it watermelon-size, or even bigger. "Helic umtus." she repeated for the umpteenth time and felt something emerge out of her wand. Excited, she held both the wand and the balloon tighter but it stopped immediately. "Well, at least I improved." The Hufflepuf smiled. "What should I do better?"
Jamine watched Leah as she performed the spell. She was sooo close to getting it right.
"Leah, you almost got it that time", Jasmine said.
"First of all, relax. You can do this. Take a deep breath. Now try it again, but this time give your wand just a little flick. Remember to concentrate, but keep breathing." Jasmine knew that at times she became so tense that she couldn't make a spell work. Relaxation was important in this situation, at least she thought it was.
Jasmine watched Leah closely as she prepared to repeat the spell. She had a good feeling that it was going to work this time.
