make it work, make it work, make it work..
She peeked at the table, it had a fine but defined crack. But it was not broking. "Hmpf! Maybe you do it better..?" she suggested, stepping away and giving Theo the opportunity to practise.
"That was a good try," Theo smiled at Ariana, "Next time, maybe you need to bring your wand down faster. Like you were trying to karate chop it."
Theo stepped forward. He didn't really want to practice the spell. He knew he would fail on it. It would take weeks of constant practice to get it right. "Deprimo," he said, slicing his wand down. Well now there was another crack, on the other side. "Your go again."
