~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. “Thanks, professor,’’ Ary replied. As confident as he might have been for that activity, he wasn’t feeling this way at all for what was ahead. Try as he might to dig up some of that confidence, it all seemed to have buried itself deep and stubbornly refused to come out. But hey, at least Bry seemed to have hers up and about as she too was successful with the first spell!
As Carton carried on, Ary absently prodded at the marigolds on his desk. Maybe he could try conjuring a bunch of the same sort of flowers. Or should he try to conjure something smaller since it might be easier? Nope, nevermind. It was confirmed that he should attempt to conjure the exact flowers as before. “Or-KID-ee-us. Or-KID-ee-us. Orchideous. Orchideous, Orchideous.” With the simple-ish incantation out of the way, Aryan turned his attention to the wand movement: an upward line, counterclockwise half circle followed by a downward curve. After a minute of repeating the movement, he began to see that Carton was right: it did sort of resemble a flower. |
