Ivory rubbed her sleeve over her forehead, trying to wipe off nonexistent sweat. It just seemed like the sort of thing to do, considering it had taken her ages to turn almost all her flowers into little rooty seeds. She'd left a few flat lillies on her desk though, just so the butterflies she was about to conjure would have somewhere to rest on.

Lovingly pushing the seeds into a little pile on the side of her desk, she pushed her sleeves back. Ready for the next challenge.

Visualizing butterflies, a good little group (herd? flock? school?) of them dancing in front of her, she brought up her wand. "Papilio!"

From the fiery tip of her wand, blossomed one butterfly after another.

Watching them flutter around before her, she couldn't resist smiling. Whenever she conjured butterflies, they never failed to remind of warm summer afternoons in her mom's garden. But now wasn't a time to reminisce. She could do that later-for now she had a task to do. But first, lifting her wand so that the small flame was visible to the little insects, she slowly waved it a bit. The butterflies almost as if mesmerized by the flame moved with her wand following her motions as if she were conducting them.

Slowly bringing her her wand down towards her desk, she watched smiling as they settled on the flower petals on her desk. That way if by any chance her spell worked and she reverted them back to caterpillars then they wouldn't be hurt by a fall.

Alright, concentrate Ivory, concentrate. she told herself.

Opening her eyes as wide as they would go,the result being the little girl looking a little bugeyed herself, she stared intently at her butterflies. Imagining them slowly devolving into their previous natural form, their wings slowly shrinking and their bodies elongating.

Her lips mouthing those words, Previous natural form, previous natural form, previous... she flourished her wand and pronounced the incantation.
"Reverto"

Well...hmm if nothing happened that just meant she wasn't concentrating enough right.

Staring intently, she tried again, concentrating on the butterfly devolving slowly."Reverto!"

At first she thought it hadn't worked but then, (if at all possible) her eyes got even wider in horror. The wings of one of her poor little butterflies we shrinking but nothing else was! Now all that was left was the body of the butterfly, wingless and writhing.

Gasping and apologizing to it on the verge of tears, Ivory looked around. What to do!?What to do?! No! The poor little thing!It was all her fault.It was never going to fly again..and then all the other butterflies would make fun of it and...GASP...how would it eat? Scratch that HOW WOULD IT LIVE?

Panicking, Ivory aimed her wand at the incomplete insect, Come on...back to butterfly, back to butterfly, BACK TO BUTTERFLY!

"REVERTO!"

Maybe it was because her intention was so strong, maybe it was because turning it back into a butterfly wasn't as hard as turning it into caterpillar, whatever the case this time around the results were fast.

From the little brown body spurted two little wings that slowly unfurled. Sighing in relief, she carefully scooted her hands under the butterfly and placed him on her shoulder. He'd been through enough trauma in one day.

Her eyes roving from one unsuspecting butterfly to another, she paused. She herself actually felt a little traumatized and wasn't sure she wanted to try this again until maybe her third year.

Trying to muster up the courage to try again, she twirled her wand between her fingertips.
