And though Professor Baxter seemed to be confident that he could get the spell to work eventually, Zander wasn't all too sure. Had she seen him try in class? He must've had at least ten attempts and none of them worked. It was hopeless. And everyone else had seen him fail at it too, which made everything TEN times worse. "Eeeeerrr.... Not exactly," he mussed his hair. He was frustrated, yes, but embarrassed to admit that it was his first time trying. It's not that the Professor's never encouraged them to try... But it was never mandatory until now, so he didn't feel the need. But clearly that was a terrible choice because it was coming to bite him in the back. sigh.
"Really? I-uh-Yeah, actually... Maybe that'd... help," outside of class. Outside of class where the others wouldn't see him failing. Maybe that'd make things better? Zander wasn't all too sure, but he was willing to try... Though uh, he was still trying to appear very disconnected and aloof here. Ahem. But he really was grateful that Baxter had even offered. Ahem.
Not exactly. Okay. She could still work with that.
Astrid was taking a wild guess here - but only because she's seen it happen before - Mister Adair has been overcome by the attention of others. The pressure. She would also be embarrassed if the younger students came to her and asked to help HER out when she was his age. She would have been so terribly embarrassed. But she would have worked her bum harder so that would never happen to her again. People were different, but hopefully the Head Boy's attitude would change into one that believed in himself, because she did.
"Great," Astrid said, sounding a little more relieved than she would have wanted to admit. The want to get better, that's what he needed. WANT. Yes! Exciting. "Here," she handed him a piece of parchment and quill, "write down your schedule and the time, or times, you'll be able to drop by for practice. You will be casting nonverbals, just you wait, Mister Adair." She could feeeeel it in her bones. He would succeed at this, he would!

"Sure, i am willing to try"
Dante said confidently. He might not show it. But he wanted to get this spell to work with his eyes open.
"You want me to try with the lily again?"
Just to be sure.
She appreciated that confident tone in his voice. He was ready. Astrid shot him a confident nod of her own. She believed he could do this, and he would only get better with practice.
Practice, practice!
"It is a familiar picture in your mind, so yes. It will make it slightly easier." Having it programmed in his mind would. He shouldn't grow confident that this will be as easy with other objects. A lot of variables come into play when casting.
