She wanted to catch up if she was going to be able to pass her OWLS. She knew they weren't necessary, and she was only a 5th year, but she wanted to at least say that she could do a few non-verbals. She wanted to show that she could do things well.
So she was sat at the desk, with her quill at the other end of the classroom. And she was trying to get the summon the quill without saying the spell out loud.
So far she was having limited success.
"Don't get stressed."
Felicity slipped into the classroom quietly, closing the door behind her. She'd spoken to Hattie about this before, and felt bad if she made her friend think that she needed to stress herself out in the effort to learn. After all, Felicity could only summon things, and she
had stressed that it had taken her
ages to learn. Hadn't she?
Either way, she was hear to help. Pulling herself up to sit on the desk, she turned slightly in order to look at Hattie. "I
know it sounds counter-intuitive, but don't force it and try too hard. Kind of... I dunno,
feel it. Imagine it coming towards you."
