 Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
She might not have given an answer to either question but she had received a smile from Apollo either way. Sitting up a little straighter she returned the smile as she continued to listen to what to say. Changing people into trees and removing their memories sounded like some heavy transfiguration and mind work but still awesome. Not something she'd attempt though...well maybe the tree part but not tampering with someones memories. That part was just something she wouldn't do.
Anyhow changing a mug or rubber ball into a tiny tree sounded cool. And getting to keep her tree was even better! Shifting about in her seat her eyes fixated on the mug that Apollo had set on her desk she watched with clear fascination as it transformed into a fully formed but tiny tree! Epic! Did he know how easy he made that look? Probably not.
So it was with a grin that the third year slipped off her chair and made her way the few steps to the font of the room and collected herself one rubber ball. Returning to her desk she sat down once more and set the rubber ball on the center of the desk. "Im-mue-tar-ay ar-bor-ay, Im-mue-tar-ay ar-bor-ay," she recited several times quietly to herself. It sounded a little weird saying it so slowly and breaking it up that way but she needed a feel for the spell first. This was advanced spell work!
After repeating herself about a good twenty or so times she finally put it all together. "Immutare Arbore, Immutare Arbore, Immutare Arbore" It sounded much better this way. Even when she knew she was pronouncing it correctly she continued to practice it a few times more as she focused on the rubber ball before her picturing it as a tree.
With the spell incantation down she picked up her wand and held it firmly in her grasp and gave two jabs towards the rubber ball. The movement wasn't difficult at all but Hady choose to practice this part several more times as well. Maybe about five or six times total. One just couldn't really mess up with it when all they had to o was jab there wand at something twice. Simple enough honestly.
Now though would be the moment of truth. Clearing her throat she whispered the spell once under her breath. Ready.
Jabbing her wand twice at the rubber ball Hady recited the words correctly, "Immutare Arbore!" And nothing. SIGH.
"Immutare Arbore!" She tried again while jabbing her wand twice at the ball. Still nothing happened. Maybe she wasn't focused enough. Taking a deep breath she tried to picture the tree once more in her mind before attempting the spell for the third time.
Not even a shiver did the ball make. Huffing quietly and trying not to frown at the rubber ball Hady flexed her fingers around her wand. She would get this right, even if she tried all day. So she tried again. And again. AND AGAIN.
Clearing her mind she focused on just a tree. That's what this rubber ball would be, a tree. Deep breath in and then out. "Immutare Arbore!," she called out jabbing her wand twice at the rubber ball. This time her spell hit the ball and it slowly shook small tiny weak branches beginning to sprout out as it grew just a little bit and one of two leaves formed! It was a bit lop-sided and sorta a bit like that Charlie Brown Christmas tree but she'd done it! AWESOME!
Well not completely but it was a major start and Hady was very thrilled with this. |
