Ok, Janelle was trying very hard not to get frustrated. She kept telling herself that this was a hard spell and she had to be patient. She needed to concentrate, which was a little difficult with all the chaos that was going on around her. Balloons popping, students calling out spells. Anyway, Janelle looked up and tried to focus on the dart she wanted to hit. Then she shifted her gaze to a certain red balloon that she wanted to destroy. No way was it going to get the best of her.

Returning her focus to the apple in her hand, Janelle took a deep breath and let the air out slowly. She raised her wand and made three counterclockwise circles above the apple. "Derivo Gravitatem, Derivo Gravitatem, Derivo Gravitatem", she said, perfectly in time with her circle making. Eyes back on the dart above, Janelle aimed her apple and tossed it toward her target. This time she missed her intended dart, but hit an adjacent one. Just like before, the dreaded apple came falling back down to Janelle. She caught it and had to resist the urge to throw it agains the wall. Her dart had come very close to hitting another balloon and Janelle wondered what would have happened if it had actually popped. Did it count if you popped a balloon, but your spell didn't work? Somehow that just didn't seem right. Although at the rate she was going, that might be her best chance at popping some balloons.
