Slowly, Kate began to open her eyes. She didn't quite know what to expect, but she imagined it was something along the lines of the cotton candy and bubble gum she'd pictured earlier. She frowned when she saw the result, though. Her eyebrows didn't really change colors. They were still her normal eyebrows but with the faintest hint of pink. By 'faintest', she meant that if you weren't looking for a color change, you probably wouldn't even notice it.

Sigh.

Kate pointed her wand forward and said, "Finite!" Whatever she had done before, faint or not, was reversed now. She refocused herself and stared into the mirror. Again, she pictured all the pink things she'd imagined before. This time, though, she focused not on the object itself but on the color of the objects. There had to be some magic in that train of thought somewhere!

Kate pointed her wand forward and with much more determination than before, she said, "Capillus Colorum!" Something had to work this time. It just had to.
