This wand movement was awful. Jaemin watched the professor do it, blinking slowly as his empty hand hovered above the desktop and absently started trying to duplicate it. He didn't lift his arm up the way she did, but even without that it just seemed so intricate, and he wondered why it was like that. What was it supposed to be doing? Why didn't they have classes dedicated solely to this?!
The small Slytherin felt around in his pocket for his wand, and gave the wand movement a few tries through, this time properly. Clockwise spirals, up up up until it was near shoulder level. The spell echoed in his head, and he did his best to get the timing to fit it. It was worse than the gravity spell, Meeeeerlin.
He was pretty sure he had that part down. Now... now he just had to make sure he could say the spell right, and hopefully it would work. Jaemin set his wand down, humming to himself, and looked up at the box the professor had cast upon. The numbers were still there... he wanted to make them show up too.
"Ah-rith-moes," he murmured softly, eyes drifting down to the desk top as his fingertip tapped against it with every syllable. "Ruh-vel-ee-oh. Sin-doh."
He repeated it a few times more, fingertip still tapping lightly away with each part of the spell. He'd spoken easier spells, and he's spoken harder ones, so this was nothing hugely awful. It was just long, which meant the timing for getting the wand movement right was gonna be weird. Jaemin picked up his wand again, lightly turning it in his fingers until it felt comfortable, and went about combining the spell with the wand movement.
"Arithmos Revelio Scindo." He started off with a point right at the box, then started the weird curly spiral movement. His hand was getting up too high... too high. It was going to pass his forehead. MEHHHH. He gave it another shot. "Arithmos Revelio Scindo!"
...nothing, though his timing was a little better. The small boy looked around the classroom as others got the numbers to appear, frowning a little because it was frustrating to not be able to get it as easily as they seemed to. He squinted at the gold numbers, then had a sudden thought.
"Professors?" he raised a hand curiously. "Is there only one curse on the box? If there's more than one, do you have to do the spell for each curse, or does it get them all at once together?"
Would they all get the same numbers, or would their spells possibly catch different curses and spit out different numbers? New spells were so interesting, even if they were sorta... difficult. |
