Bel wasn't sure if she should attempt the spells again, given they hadn't really worked, or if she should just write about what she had done so far. She decided to start writing and to have another go once her table mates were done with their turn with the mouse. Best to share after all!

The mouse hadn't much responded to the confundus either, even if there had been a few seconds of it seeming confused. She'd meant for it to be confused, but it hadn't been enough.

.... meant for it. She'd thought about it being confused. Really had her intent on point... but the False memory charm? She hadn't really thought about what the false memory should have been. She hadn't put that bit of thought into the spell! Realising now what had gone wrong, Bel started scrawling out her notes with more enthusiasm.

Mismemini - False Memory Charm
Nothing seemed to happen when I cast this. But I think its because I didn't have the right intent in that I wasn't all that focused on specifically what the false memory should be. Maybe something happened but it wasn't relevant to the maze or the cheesecake. If I try this spell again I'll think super hard about specific memory implants and compare different ones and how effective they might be.

Confundo - Confundus Charm.
This worked a little bit, in that the toy mouse seemed to stop and not really remember what it was doing. I think the spell is just too hard for me to do properly, but if I worked at it I would focus on the mouse forgetting how walls work so that it would get confused and smoosh itself into the walls.
I wouldn't do that to a real mouse though, that would be cruel.

Conclusion: Both of these spells really need super good intent. I think that was my problem that I was a bit distracted and not all that confident.
I didn't try the Obliviate because that one seems even harder to me.
I think the False Memory Charm is probably a better choice for a situation like this one because even if the mouse is confused it could probably eventually find its way through the maze or to the cheesecake by sense of smell or something like that. False memory could help counteract the mouse's instincts and senses a bit better maybe?

Finished with her notes on the spells Bel looked at her table's maze again and wondered if she should give some of the spells another turn now that she had realized about what hadn't worked.
