After practicing his spell pronunciation and doing his wand movement, he was going to try and change the color of his tie. He tried to clear his mind or better yet he needed to clean his sleepy mind. He needed to be awake a little bit more. He shook his head and a couple more times more and then he felt more awake. Now onto the task of changing his tie to the opposite colors. He needed to change it to red, blue and green? Yup just the other houses colors. He pointed his wand at his tie and said, "Colovaria!" and nothing happened. Hmmm...he wondered what could be the problem? I mean he thought he did something right. He shrugged and went onto the task of doing it again. I mean others were having difficulty it wasn't just him.

He pointed his wand at his tie again and then said, "Colovaria!" and saw his tie change colors and then it faded. He was SO close. He would need to try again.
