Before he could use his magic pun intended, Mason had to lower his wand as the professor had some additional information about the tree. And the warning that they had to hurry up collecting the tears. With a groan of annoyance, the Ravenclaw lazily pointed his wand at his school bag and summoned his notebook and pen non-vebally towards him. When he caught them in his arms, he quickly scribbled down the extra information in case it came up in the exam and placed it on the ground near his feet. As for the question, he ignored it. He had enough on his mind already.

Alright tree, cry for him. Mason re-pointed his wand at the tree, moved his wand in an upside down U smiley face and said the incantation "Maeroro" He could have tried nonverbal, he was good at that but he had never tried this spell before and one could not master a spell without having learned it verbally before. "Maeroro" Nothing again. "Maeroro" His side of the tree had not a single tear to give and the seventh year started to get annoyed as the students around him were collecting the tears in their vials already.

"Maeroro!" he said , more focused and forcefully and this time, a single drop slided down the tree where he had pointed his wand. Moving fast, Mason uncorked his vial and placed it under the tear. The drop fell in the vial and he grinned in triumph. Even if it was just one drop. If he could get one, he could get more.
