After listening to the instructions and jotting down notes about how to preform the spell, Emmalyn hoisted herself up off her fluffy pink pillow and started towards the side of the greenhouse.

The many potted plants were of all different types. Some with big leaves, some with small, some with flowers, and some without. She let her nose guide her up and down the sides of the greenhouse, searching for the perfect plant to extract the essential oils from.

Finally, she found the perfect plant. The patchouli plants green leaves were plentiful and she knew that it was the one she wanted. After pulling out her wand and getting her vial ready, she practiced the motion of the spell. A forward cast then flick back. She repeated the movement several times, to be sure, before attempting to add the incantation.

She took a deep breath then gave the spell a try. Forward cast and flick back of her wand just as she said "natatraho" it produced nothing. She studied the plant and realized that she should probably be pointing directly at the leaves. It was the leaves of the patchouli plant that she would be extracting the essential oils from.

Her next attempt was ready to begin. She aimed her focus to the leaves of the patchouli plant, cast and flicked her wand while more clearly enunciating "NAH-TAH-TRAH-HOH." Bingo! It worked!! A small amount of essential oil trailed from the tip of her wand. Not nearly as plentiful as Professor Myers, but it was there. She quickly picked up her vial and guided the liquid inside.

Her heart was bursting with excitement. It was one of the very first time the entire year that she had been able to preform a spell, without help, on her second try. She decided she must try again to add to her essential oil levels in her vial. She raised her wand and said "natatraho" while flicking it back like she had just caught a fish. The trail of patchouli oil was larger and, once added to her first extraction, filled her vial.
