Antwone trotted through the dungeon corridor with a chair under his arm. His charms homework required him to use the levitation charm practically. He thought the dungeon would be a good place because no one came down here but Slytherins and students going to potions class.

Cautiously, Antwone set his chair down by a window as he withdrew his wand. He pointed his beech wood directly at the chair, concentrating very hard, thinking the words very distinctly in his head: Wingardium Leviosa. He raised his fist above his head, stuck his wand arm out and spoke:

"WINGARRRDUM LEVOSA!"

Nothing happened.

He had concentrated so hard though, what could have happen? He pictured in his mind the chair floating around his head but it hadn't moved at all. Again he set himself straight onto the chair and shouted:

"WIDARDIUMA LEVIOSA!"

Nothing still.

Something was wrong but he couldn't figure out what. This was such a simple charm and he knew it. His concentration was perfect, he knew that much. He decided then that it was his annunciation. He whispered, "Wingardium Leviosa" and the chair wobbled. There! Antwone straightened himself up again.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

The chair didn't budge.

"Argh!"

He had done everything right. He said the words exactly and he was thinking ... oh he was thinking too much about the annunciation and not enough on the visual. This time he would get it right.

He straightened himself out one last time. The young Ravenclaw looked directly towards the chair, his brow was sweating. He thought the words over and over, visualized the chair hovering around the quiet dungeon. Then, before he even realized, his wand was swishing and flicking, his visual was happening in his mind as though it were really happening and somewhere distantly he could hear himself saying the words only realize the truth. He was doing all those things! His had was swishing and flicking and he was pronouncing the words correctly, the chair was twirling around his head!

"Yipee!"

He said and the chair plopped down immediately as he cheered.
