When Maddie heard the professor compliment her on a great start and ask her how things were going, all she could do was nod. She was in the middle of concentrating on getting the spell right, and if she broke that concentration now, she'd probably have to start all over. The professor wasn't exactly right by her, though, so he'd had no way of knowing she was in the middle of things. Hopefully that nod in reply would suffice for now!

She had just pointed her wand forward and called out Capacious Extremis. To test her work, she picked up a rather large item out of her pile and dropped it toward the inside of her bag. It disappeared within. "Wha--...? Where--...?" she asked herself, even though she knew what had happened and where the items had gone. That had been the first time she'd done the spell herself. She decided to just pack the items herself. After all, she'd already tossed the largest one inside. But then---FIVE MINUTES LEFT?! Merlin!

Not having much time left at all, she decided to try Pack instead. After all, the wand movement and incantation were almost for toddlers. "Pack!" she said, pointing her wand forward. She began moving her pile of items from the pile and into the bag. Pretty soon, she was all done. Now she could answer the professor's questions! "Sorry, Professor! I didn't think I could break my concentration! Things went great, though!" she said. "I'm all packed up and ready to go!"
