 Post 5: (another 1 ½ hours later) (total time: 3 ½ hours) Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
This. Was. The. Worst.
Why couldn't she get it right?
Another hour and a half had passed now and Clara's hand was starting to shake. She was also becoming concerned that she was running out of potion. That wasn't a massive problem, she could always go to the front and get more, but she didn't want to. If that happened it would just be another embarrassing thing that made her feel like a failure in the class. She was definitely going to have to work harder in Ancient Runes in the future.
So far, all she'd managed was her bracelet briefly glowing. It wasn't remotely good enough.
This time, Clara focused not only on reciting the spell accurately but on her thoughts. "Sowilo sowilo sowilo, u u u u u u u u u, s s s o o o l l l, ju ja ji je jo, us as is es os, j j j e e e r r r a a a, si se su sa su, u u u u u u r r r r r r, s s s s s s s s s." She imagined the bracelet glowing and the white spots vanishing, keeping her hand steady and voice confident. Perhaps all she needed was to will it into happening. "Sowilo sowilo sowilo, u u u u u u u u u, s s s o o o l l l, ju ja ji je jo, us as is es os, j j j e e e r r r a a a, si se su sa su, u u u u u u r r r r r r, s s s s s s s s s." Vanish ... you stupid white spots ... just vanish.
And ..... almost like MAGIC ..... they did ...
Her bracelet glowed, even warming slightly against her skin. The spots ... gone; the plant was healed. It was all Clara could do not to jump up in delight and throw the rest of the potion over her classmates. Instead, she packed away her things, recorded her result of 3 and a half hours and left the classroom. |
