Janelle had gotten the spell right on her first two tries. There was no way she was going to mess up her third shot. It was time to channel her inner Slytherin. Green. Green leaves, green grass, green peppers, turtles, frogs.......hey, it worked before. No need to fix what wasn't broken, yeah? Janelle envisioned being surrounded by green and then she pictured her tie in a shade of Slytherin green.

That done, it was time to make things happen. Holding on to her green vision, Janelle directed her attention to her tie. She pointed her wand at it, took a deep breath and gave it a go. "Colovaria", she said, with total certainty this time. She had done it! Janelle had changed her tie into all three colors on the first try. She would have to write down the date because this was major. With her confidence boosted, Janelle tried the spell one last time. "Colorvaria." The tie was now back to her favorite color........Ravenclaw blue. Now Janelle wondered what else they would be doing in Charms class today. She felt ready for anything.
