Until the wand slipped from his hand and accidentally fell with a loud clatter on his desk. Oops. Blushing, he picked it up again and practiced his wand movement as if nothing mortifying had just happened.
She was kind of zoned out, but a loud clattering noise snapped her back to reality. She turned and looked over at some Gryffindor guy, a prefect it seemed. He hand dropped his wand. How stupid could you get? She couldn't help snickering at him a bit. Really now.
She looked around and everyone else was trying. She gave a little shrug and took out her own wand. She said the words in her head a few times while perfecting the whole swish, flick, point maneuver. She was used to just swish and flick that she didn't want some kind of hybrid spell that caused levitating light...though that would be pretty neat.
"Sinistra Lumina", she said firmly, while doing the swish, flick, point motion. She smirked satisfactorily when she heard the crackling noise.
