"Sorry," she whispered. Honestly, the girl hadn't meant to be so loud in her excitement. But come on. Wizard surfing was gonna be a huge success once they were through with it. And she really did mean them. Blaise had figured out how to get the board working the first time. Though it seemed an easy enough solution to try, Hadley hadn't thought to try getting on the board before she knew if it worked or not. And thus, Blaise Bellaire was just appointed the official tester. Together they would make this work.

"This is gonna be better than surfing Venice Beach." Which was her favorite surf location back home in LA. Well, her old home before she moved to London which had absolutely zero surfing spots. No, she still considered LA home and that wasn't going to change anytime soon. Merlin, she wanted to go back and visit all her old favorite haunts. Maybe even see Thomas, her one sorta friend she had back in the states.

"Right." Hadley consulted the book again. What if the spell was working right, and that was just the boards temperament? Nah, she knew her board's personality and it wasn't angry. "Maybe it needs stabilizing charms?" That could be it. It took her a minute to locate stabilizing spells in the book. "Er, wow, these look harder than the flying charm was." Which meant it was probably gonna take her longer to get those than it did to get the flying charm. "I'll start practicing those ASAP, and in the meantime I'll keep casting the flying charm on it until it starts functioning relatively well." Then there was the hover charm, steering and braking charms and still so much left to figure out. So much left to do for it, but this, tonight, was a huge leap forward. She had full confidence she'll have a working board by time she graduated if not sooner.

Looking around at the hard stone counters and floor, Hadley winced. "I don't know the cushioning spell yet." She'll add that to the list to learn along with the sticky spell that Professor Primeaux placed on the shoes last year in the first charms class. That would be good to keep the surfer from falling off at high altitudes. "We probably shouldn't practice in here anymore though. The Room of Requirement would be better for next time. We can customize it to have plenty of soft pads and pillows to catch you until we work out the kinks."
