"Oh," the second year nodded in understanding. "So...I just gotta make sure the cauldron isn't trying to serve me a sandwich or soup." Because of the LEAKY Cauldron, geddit? Whatever. That wasn't the point of all of this and Atlas was quite okay with them just moving things along and ignoring his nervous attempt at humor.
...so....
....how about that SpeRevelio?
There was no initial effect to his utterance and wand movement, but he could just pretend that that was practice. While Atlas was of an advanced mind in certain ways, his magical skill was far from it and it was a source of great anguish and anxiety. Another thorn in his side in that Aries had manifested magic years before Atlas had and, while mum and dad never actually admitted to it, he knew it had been a cause of great concern. Their son being a squib.
Where Professor Varma saw faith...Atlas saw pressure and the possibility of failure. Wand in hand, the Gryffindor cleared his throat yet again and performed the wand movement. "SpeRevelio," he repeated, this time with a bit more conviction and less in the form of a question. There was a sort of...light...ish...that flashed forth from his wand for about half a second and then faded away...but Atlas couldn't see anything else to indicate that the spell had worked.
"...I don't think it worked..."
Which meant he had failed which meant he couldn't perform his own research on the bread.
BAH.
