Finally, finally, on her third attempt, Violet managed to land on a target and fortunately, her feet stuck. At least she could do the spell right, if not flinging herself through the air. Her hair was in her eyes, her clothes were rumpled, and she was very tired of falling. She was starting to dislike this exercise as much as she did Flying, and pretty much any activity that involved her flying through the air.

She wondered whether she had to do this again, or if one successful attempt would be enough. She was still thinking of this as she prepared to end the spell on her feet that was sticking them to the target. Wait! when she released the spell, wouldn't that mean she would fall again? Wasn't there any other way to get off this target?! The teacher hadn't been very detailed on the getting off aspect (or Violet couldn't remember).

Oh, bother! Violet cast "Finite Incantum!" in a glum voice and plopped down once more on the floor.
