That was easy enough.
Having successfully performed this spell not long ago in CoMC, Mariel was feeling particularly confident about this class. She walked to the front of the room, retrieved a plastic bowl from the professor's desk, and carried it back to her seat, ready to perform the spell again. Pointing her wand at the bowl, she commanded,
"Aguamenti!" She didn't know if the angle of her wand was off or she pointed it to forcefully or maybe she just stated the incantation too loudly, but the water came out of her wand too fast and splashed out of her bowl, effectively soaking the back of the robes of the older Ravenclaw girl sitting in front of her.
