"Colovaria and a point of the wand,'' he said to himself. "Yep, five items. This should be a walk in the park.'' After all, he hadn't had much trouble with it... verbally.

"I'm going to try working on it non verbally,''
the Hufflepuff informed his Ravenclaw companion. "I've been trying to do non verbal spells for a while but I suck at it.'' Hmph. He hated that. Anyway, he waited patiently for Tia to make up her mind about the object she would be working with. Ah! The bookshelf! It was perfect! And she did it without much effort too!

"Good job! My turn!''
Now, the book shelf where he and Tia were standing at, was one which was braced against the wall soooo it was the wall that was going to be changed. Yup.

"Colovaria!'' Point! No red light from his wand and that meant no colour change. Seeee? He sucked at non verbal spells. "Colovaria!'' Point! Nope, this wasn't working. Back to verbal it was! There was no sense in keeping Tia waiting while he failed epically.

"Colovaria!"
Adi pointed his wand smartly at the wall, still focusing on the bright yellow of Hufflepuff House. Wheee! There it was! One yellow wall with the blue book shelf against against it. Now they needed somewhere else to go... "We can change the stairs of the fourth floor next. Or even the corridor floor.'' Yeah! Adi liked the thought of changing the floor yellow. Hehe. With that, he lead Tia out of the library, out to the fourth floor.
Ooh. So Tia wasn't about to hide her impressed self when Adi said he was going to attempt it non-verbally. She never attempted one herself, but she'd heard they were quite the skill to master. "Good luck. Here's hoping," she crossed her fingers and gave him an encouraging smile.

But no such luck apparently, as Tia watched the older student with his attempts. Surely he must be doing something wrong because for some bizarre reason although she hadn't read TOO much on nonverbal spells yet, she felt like there was some key component to them. More than just greater focus.

But at long last, he conceded and cast it verbally so they could move on. "Stairs. I like that idea. Plus if we catch them while they're moving it might be more challenging to get just one stair...."

She followed Adi from the library, stopping at the stairwell. "Nonverbal spells... tell me more about what it requires..." Because maybe she'd try one by their last item? "Colovaria!" The fifth year cast, pointing at the step two from the top and smiled as it changed to the navy blue as the bookshelf before had. This was easy enough.

"After you go, maybe we should do an alternating pattern for four steps?" Tia suggested. It would require some focus, for sure. And would count as a third item, which left only two more for them to change...
