Clearing his mind was definitely not as easy as it had been that day they'd tried scrying with the crystal balls, but it was bound to be easier than the day the evil queen had been in charge. Toby, still flopped across the pillows on his stomach, automatically tapped at the floor with his toes, and tried as hard as he could to clear his mind. Easier said than done, though, especially when there were things such as the impending OWLs that seemed to constantly draw his attention. In fact, Toby had had his eyes closed for many moments before realising he'd gotten completely distracted from the task of mind-clearing and had ended up mentally running through various facts he'd been attempting to memorise.

The Hufflepuff opened his eyes, now staring at the water which was still except from a few ripples where his breathing had momentarily disturbed the surface. This was as clear as his mind was going to get, so Toby just got on with it and stared.

And staaaaaaaaaared.

And cleared his mind and kept his mind open and stayed all relax and open up that inner eye...

And staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared.
