Swish, Point, Flick. Swish, Point, Flick. Swish, Point Flick, Rapunzel repeated to herself. "I can do this," she muttered, ready to actually try the spell now. Swish, Point, "Sinistra Lumina!" FLICK!

Rapunzel tapped her wand to her left hand and waited for a cackling sound. Nothing. "Hokai, I can do it again," she muttered, more determined this time. Swish, Point, Flick, "SINISTRA LUMINA!" Punz poked her hand with her wand this time, jabbing herself in the palm.

"Yowwowowow!" she whimpered, cluctching her right hand to her left and dropping her wand. "That tttingles! And it hurts!" She frowned and glanced at her palm, where a slight black mark had singed her hand from the spell. "Ugh. I'll never get it now." She sat back down and picked up her wand, setting it on the desk in front of her. Why even bother - clearly she was meant for Charms, not Transfiguration.
