 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Having the full satisfaction of both the wand and incantation, Rachel went over to a dummy after saying to Haddie and Olivia, ''You girls can join me when you're done practicing.'' Goodness knows as first years working on a spell usually taught at third year they would need each others help and encouragement.
Here she went, actually practicing the spell. "Skurge.'' The three leaf clover movement was completed with Rachel keeping her wrist tight and commanding the spell as best as she could. She did not expect green sparks to come shooting out on her first attempt and it was certainly a good thing she hadn't set her hopes up.
Not so much of a flash of light made itself seen. "Skurge.'' The girl tried again, repeating all of the previous steps but they still yielded nothing whatsoever. "Skurge.'' Nada. "Skurge.'' Zilch. Rachel bit her lower lip, staring at the dummy. It was possible she needed to be more commanding and confident. |
