Seriously? The professors really expected her to be able to cast a spell as difficult as the Undetectable Extension charm? Her heart sank. She had hoped for a fun class. She had hoped to be successful in the class. She had hope for a more Muggle Studies heavy class. Her hopes were crushed and the lesson had hardly started.

She flopped down on the floor, next to her pile of supplies, and poked the bag with her wand. She looked between the bag and the pile of supplies, wondering how she was going to be able to tetris it all inside one tiny bag. With a frustrated huff, she decided she would at least try the charm.

She rolled over the incantation in her mind several times before attempting it out-loud. Once ready, she pointed her wand at the tiny bag and whispered “Capacious extremis.” Nothing seemed to have happened. The bag looked exactly the same, but it was supposed to look the same. Figuring the only way to know for sure would be to try and cram one of the much larger objects inside, she reached for the tent. The end of the tent only made its way about six inches into the bag before hitting firm resistance. Nope. Didn’t work.

With her wand in hand once again, she commanded “Capacious extremis” once again. Her mind focused on the bag becoming bigger, yet staying the same size. She hoped visualizing the end result would help strengthen the spell. She tried the tent again, but the same outcome resulted. No dice. It was simply not working.

With great frustration, she started packing the smallest items into the bag, hoping to fit as much as possible and being careful to not miss any of the snacks. Those were the most important supplies in the pile. She knew she would be able to carry the sleeping bag in one hand and the tent in the other. However, that would post a problem depending on how they were traveling. She wouldn’t have a free hand to use her wand or grab a portkey or toss floo powder. Unsure of how to continue, she glanced up towards Professor Stewart with eyes pleading for help.
