Kate hurried up to the first floor with her wand gripped tightly in her hand. She had suddenly looked at the time and realized the homework assignment was due soon, and she still had a lot of casting left to do. She actually dropped her wand dashing up the stairs and nearly tumbled trying to go back and get it. Okay, chill, Kate. The homework assignment is not this serious...

Reaching the first floor, Kate dashed around until she came upon a nasty swamp that she knew was once put their by the famous Weasley twins. There were loads of things in that swamp she could change to the color blue! Mainly the grass, which was plentiful all over the swamp. Kate stopped at the edge of the swamp and focused on the grass.

Getting a good mental picture of blue grass, Kate pointed her wand forward. "Colovaria!" she exclaimed. The grass began changing into the blue she had pictured earlier. "Colovaria!" she said again, because casting twice always made her feel like the deal was sealed. Kate held her focus until the grass on one side of the swamp was completely blue. Awesome.
