 Charms HW1, post #3 ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
He was better prepared for this one, he was sure of it.
Inhaling a deep breath, he released it slowly to calm himself, steady hands and clear heads hit their targets -- or so said Elijah at least, though he was sure the man was only making it up to appease him. Whatever, he'd try.
He worked on his breathing, slowing his heart rate, and focused on the targets. He didn't want to get one of the easy one, he wanted to get one of the harder ones. Why? Because he knew he was good at charms, so surely he was capable of demonstrating that with THIS task.
The target he'd been watching slipped left to where it had been, putting him off his game as he launched his paint ballon anyway. "Alert Ascendare!" he'd recited as he brandished his wand for the second time. With the unexpected move he had missed his target, however, he successfully hit another. It wasn't a solid hit, but it was a hit nonetheless, not dead centre, but it wasn't painted on the ceiling. This was progress... he would simply claim that as intentional.
