Isla was finished with her first activity, so she set to work on the little art project. Ya know, not having magic was a pain, but some of the classes had been fun when they were allowed to do little projects. The second year arranged her petals in front of her and looked down at all the different and unique designs each one made. She'd never thought about petal designs before, but now she couldn't help but notice them.

Some of her outcomes hadn't really been pleasant...like that fourth detention she'd learned she would have. So Isla decided to make a smiley face out of her materials. She put her two favorite petals on the top and used them as eyes. Then she took a small piece of stem and made a straight line for a nose. Finally, she situated the remaining petals in the form of a smiley face. THERE. She'd made a positive outcome out of some negative predictions!

About that time, the professor started wrapping up the lesson. Isla cleaned up her work area, gathered all her things and turned toward the professor. "Thanks, Professor!" she said, even though she couldn't remember the lady's name. She did remember to snap a few times for her, though!
