Patrick watched some of the other students go about the incantation. He was pretty certain that he would eventually be able to make the incantation work. But he usually liked to see someone else do it first so he could ensure that he knew exactly what he was doing with the spell.

Making sure his wand was ready, he raised his hand and stated firmly, "Fluctus Lux" the light came out of his wand just as it was supposed to.

He was looking at the white light thinking exactly what Skylar had asked about the light not being green like it is in the pictures he's seen.
