The Professor hadn’t particularly made a comment on her idea but she did hear someone else almost replicate her master plan which received an annoyed frown from the Ravenclaw. Couldn’t people be original and come up with their own ideas? Obviously not.
They were asked to perform a spell and the fifteen year old sunk a little in her seat at the prospect. She was new to this magic business, she’d been a muggle for her whole life and she still wasn’t completely acquainted with how to concentrate her magical skills into one place. She was going to give it a go though and not ask for help in case people judged her as being stupid. She wasn’t stupid, she was just late.
Layla got up off her seat and grabbed a blue bag of sand as required in the first step of the activity. She brought it back to her desk and glanced at it for a short while. How was she going to go about this then?
She'd managed to perform some sort of magic earlier in the lesson with her name tag but that seemed extremely easy, all she needed to say was her name. Her attempts to get a message in the crystal ball hadn't worked but quite frankly she hadn't even tried with that. She didn't even believe that it was possible anyway.
After about 5 minutes of procrastination, she finally pointed her wand at the bag. “Fingere Elementi” she muttered and watched hopefully. Until absolutely nothing happened. Why didn’t it work? Why did her spells never work on the first try? She sighed audibly and slumped down on her seat. She supposed she should probably try again until it worked but quite frankly she didn’t want to bother.
And she definitely wasn’t going to ask for help either.
