17. Wreath

With the Christmas holiday over a week away, Logan found himself engrossed in perfecting the wreath-conjuration spell. Circular twirls of his wand and a melodic incantation filled the air as he conjured delicate wreaths adorned with vibrant holly and festive ribbons. The Transfiguration classroom echoed with the magic of the holiday season as wreaths multiplied in splendid harmony.

The blond's concentration wavered, however, when he caught a glimpse of the brunette, engrossed in her own spellcasting. His gaze lingered longer than intended, causing the wreath being conjured to lose its form and dissolve into a flurry of red and green confetti.

Professor Carton, noticing the mishap, approached with a twinkle in his eye. "Ah, Mr. Paton, I would encourage you to not let your mind wander mid-cast. Remember, focus is the key to successful spellcasting."

"Sorry, sir." Logan blushed, offering a sheepish grin, as he attempted to regain his concentration.

Yet, every time he glanced at Vera, his wreaths seemed to have a mind of their own. The classroom, once filled with the orderly display of wreaths, now bore witness to the chaos of Logan's casting: holly bursting like inflated balloons and a tornado of ribbon creating an entangled mess.
