Norah had to pause her breathing to take another look around the room because nose tickles were getting all sorts of distracting. A frown crept across her face as she watched even tiny little firsties going into that maze while she stood out here not being able to do a single thing right. What was new, really. No no no NO, she wasn't even allowed to think that, remember? For Professor Dakest. He was in charge, remember? Giving up was probably even worse than being bad at stuff, or so she tried to convince herself as she looked around the room some more. She watched Sophie re-enter the room before turning to face the other side of the room, wand in hand.
She wasn't allowed to give up again. She was not was not was not. With another deep breath (though it was giggle-free this time), Norah raised her wand. She thought back to her memory again, trying to pinpoint the way her stomach had swelled in a good kind of way, what it was like to be the smart one and the proud one. As she moved her wand in a circle, though, the feeling started to go away even faster than it had the first time she'd tried the spell. Just as she made the light feeling take over her whole entire self from her toes all the way to her head it started to shrink up again and all that was left as the DUMB stuff. The you can't do it stuff. That part was dumb. By the time her circle was finished she didn't feel the pride and happiness at all. "Expecto patronum!" Nothing. At least she was right about that. She heaved a dramatic sigh and put a hand on her forehead. Was it lunch time yet? She liked lunch. Lunch was happy and un-discouraging and all around wonderful.
