Twirling her wand happily and eager to see how Eden would do, it took a moment to realize that something was wrong. Knowing how her friend was, she was aware of the occasional sudden mood changes and they could be rather worrying. "Good try, I'm sure you will get it next time." Hopefully it would pass soon, and if not maybe a big hug would help; Lux was always giving those away for free.
Besides, they had loads of time.
Eden took a deeeeep breath and had to FOCUS. This spell wasn't too difficult--she could DO this--she just had to shake her rude thoughts away, and QUICKLY.
UGH.
But she kept breathing deeply...and doing something her Mam had told her to do when she felt like this...clearing her throat, she counted to three, and on each number, she thought of something good about herself...
One.....you're really good with snakes...and you have your license and everything...
Two...you have pretty eyes and people like your eyes, McGee....
Three...you're smart and stuff even if not everyone SEEs it...
And with those thoughts now swirling around, she bit her lip and squinted at the dummy before her.
"Evanesco!" she cried, and when the spell didn't work, yet again, she growled and rounded on the dummy, again, and blasted her wand at it, SCREAMING the spell-
-"EVANESCO!"
And....miraculously....it disappeared. O_O The dummy was no more. And Eden panted a bit..."
Okay." She said. "
I'm fine." She hissed at Lux, basically a silent warning not to come NEAR her in this state...
