But the professor seemed satisfied with how he was working, so he wasn't terribly worried... the spell would come to him eventually! He could make it work.
"I'll try again," he said with determination, holding his wand up. No distractions this time... all of his focus on making the timing match up, because that was the first hurdle to overcome. He started the movement, speaking the spell softly but clearly; the first one ended right on time, with the spell and circle coming to completion at the same time. Yes, good. He started the second round... and he managed it again.
Just one moreee. The boy moved quickly on to the third circle and third intonation of the spell, eyes set on his wand as it moved so he could make sure the timing was spot on. He'd managed to make three circles right in a row! He was grinning almost immediately, but the grin faded a bit and he started squinting instead.
"...is that..." the vaguest hints of white light, possibly? Or were his eyes deceiving him?
The astronomer nodded his head to the Slytherin with a faint, but present, encouraging smile. Airey was beginning to think that they would not leave here today without the young man having at least moderate success. Mr. Song was practically secreting ambitious intent right now and it would only help him find that success with this advanced bit of magic.
He nodded his head with each completed circle traced in the air and refrained from making any comment about the timing being more spot on that previous attempts. No distractions, the professor knew how that went with practicing magic...even if he was often a distraction onto himself and needed to lock himself in a room with literally nothing in it as a student to achieve anything. The Room of Requirement had been an incredibly convenience to him - even if some would argue that the shape it had taken for the young astronut bore a striking resemblance to certain rooms in St. Mungo's.
Jumping to his feet, tennis ball in hand, Airey approached the Slytherin with a sideways grin. "Only one way to know for sure," he mused while holding the ball up high above them. Waiting for the traces of light to disappear, Airey released the ball and watched it fall. It wasn't a terribly significant change, but still a noticeable one. "Well done, Mr. Song," he nodded. "I'd say you reached approximately Venus level gravitational resistance there." Give or take a few meters per second.
