Opps. That story had been a sad story and the tree HADN'T cried. So definitely her answer was a wrong one.

And they were going to be practicing sadness charms. Poor tree. She started saying the incantation to get used to it. "My-ro-ro" as Olly scooted close to her to whisper in her ear. She paused her practicing to listen to Olly. she giggled because he was saying exactly what she was thinking.

Professor Myers heard though and explained WHY he had to teach them this.

.... and now he was crying??
"Look what you did" Noelle told Olly with a very tiny whisper. Poor Professor Myers. All those emotions. "That pesky dust!" Noelle said to the professor in an attempt to make him grin.

Hearing Olly's question, she nodded. Brilliant question actually.

Now to practice the incantation. Noelle lifted her wand and pointed at the tree. Sorry tree. " MAERORO!" She said and did the wand movement. Tears were already leaking form the tree but it didn't seem to be coming from where she had aimed. Probably because her intent wasn't there. She really didn't want to make the tree cry.

Lets try again.

Clearing her mind, Noelle just thought of the incantation. What it was supposed to do. Not that she was using it to make a tree cry. It could be worse. She could be using it to make Olly cry. THAT she DEFINITELY didn't wanna do.

"MAERORO!!" She said with the intent of the incantation clear in her mind. This time, tears leaked where her wand was pointing.

Sorry tree.
