Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Tina had only just sat down after finishing her practice when Professor Darlington called time and said they were moving to the practice room. Apparently she wasn't getting a chance to sit down today…. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised. This was Darlington they were talking about, after all!
Tina grabbed her wand and followed the others to the practice room. She had to admit her curiosity was piqued. What were they going to do that couldn't be done in the classroom? Suddenly a scary thought occurred to her. What if she needed her notes? All she had with her was her wand, as the professor instructed. What if there was new information she needed to take down? What if she forgot the three incantations she'd already learned and didn't have her notes to remind her? The thought of making mistake after mistake in front of the whole class had her internally panicking! That's not going to happen, Tina reminded herself sternly. Even without her notes, she was pretty good at memorizing incantations. She took a deep breath and willed herself to focus on Professor Darlington's question. The first thing that came to mind was turning cloth into cotton fibers, but Hanna had already said that. She needed to come up with a new answer and fast!
The next object that Tina thought of was a chocolate frog - she had no idea why. She wasn't a big junk food eater! The more she thought about it, she imagined reverting a chocolate frog would be quite a bit like reverting the roll… or would it? A chocolate frog was made of several different components. Would it be possible to isolate one of them to revert it? Then again, the roll was made of other components besides wheat, and they were able to revert that. By that logic, it made sense that they could revert a chocolate frog into cocoa beans. She raised her hand. “What about a chocolate frog, Professor?” she said. “Perhaps there's a version of Prima Forma that could turn a chocolate frog into cocoa beans?” That answer sounded okay in her head, but now that she'd spoken, it seemed ridiculous!
