Hattie was still feeling really disappointed. Why could she not do this? It was supposed to be simple right? She had picked the most simple animal, and she still couldn't do it! It made her sad. But she did know that she was a first year, and it was obvious that she wouldn't be able to do everything first time. It just made her a little sad. She wanted to be good. She wanted to be good at everything. Whilst Hattie knew that wasn't really realistic, it didn't stop her from wanting to be really good at everything. Maybe Transfiguration was supposed to be the thing that she wasn't very good at. That didn't mean that she wasn't going to try her best. Hattie was determined to be good at Transfiguration, or at least get this correct.

The girl forced a smile onto her face, and moved the caterpillar back into the middle of the table. "Stop moving..." She moaned, tapping her wand on the desk a little. The thing moving around was not helping with her mood at all. She pouted, practicing the wand movement a little. Maybe she wasn't doing the wand movement correctly.

But she was ready to try it again. Concentrating, she swished her wand over her caterpillar, going in the right direction, whilst saying the words "Follio musa" She had closed her eyes, hoping that maybe it would work this time. She opened them slowly, and then sighed. Nothing. At all.

"Come onnn" She blonde moaned, shaking her head. Was it really meant to be this hard? She pouted, and then decided to have another try. Concentrating hard, she swished her wand over the caterpillar, whilst saying the incantation again. "eeep!" She murmured doing a little dance. It had worked!

Whilst the caterpillar hadn't necessarily turned into a whole banana leaf, it had changed a little bit. It looked more like a leaf, and wasn't moving as much. "I did it... Kind of..." She murmured with a big smile. Sure it wasn't the whole transformation that she had been hoping for, but it was something, that was what made Hattie happy. For now anyway.
