Herminny felt intense pressure coming from her wand onto wood and she managed to put a a pretty big dent in it but alas, not crack it. Heminny turned to her partner then and said, "K, I believe it's you're go now.".

Poor Lyra. thought Nataly as the girl failed to do the spell again. She looked around. Many students were successful with the task, but there students who didn't complete it, like Nataly, or ones that failed it, like Lyra.
Nataly turned her gaze to the plank, aimed her wand at it, and said the spell, "Deprimo!"
Creak!
"Yaay!" Nataly squeled, looking at the broken plank. "I finally succeeded!"

'I'm pretty sure its that button. Okay, let me stop laughing then you can take the picture.' She turned around and faced the other direction and took deep breaths in. Before she turned back to Evelyn she said 'Get ready!' and turned around with a shocked expression on her face, hoping that it will be a good, funny picture.

'Yeah, don't put that camera away right away. I might blow something else up that you can take a picture of.' She noticed the peep still on the professors desk and imagined that blowing up, thinking how hard it would be to get marshmellow out of her hair.
'So do you want to try the spell again?'

Just before she finished writing her first name, she turned to look at Evelyn slowly with an evil grin on her face. 'Do you think I could blow up wood from a distance,' she whispered, then glanced around the room at everyone practicing.

"I think we almost broke it we should try one more time." K said to Herminny with full excitement.

Concentrating, and mouthing the spell 'Deprimo' while making another hard chopping motion, the piece of wood blew up in dust just like before, covering the two students in dust. Turning to face Evelyn, with a smile a mile wide, Destiny whispered 'I think it worked.'

After a quick glance about the room to see whether the professor was getting ready to start, Zoe looked intently at Josh trying her best to look serious and disappointed almost bordering on anger, "Wait a minute, you aren't intensely fascinated with this class?" her face almost lost it's stony facade, but she was able to hold it together, continuing, "I only asked you to be my partner because you said that you were 'perfect'! Well sir, I think that it might be your responsibility to find me a suitable replacement." Crossing her arms across her chest she tried to hold her face still, but the smile that was dying to get out started to creep up into her eyes.

Michelle smiled as Kiri tried the spell before her. Nothing happened at first and Chelle was getting anxious. If a fourth year was hesitating to try the spell, then how would she get it right? The secong time, the spell did work. Chelle looked up at Kiri with a smiling face, `Sure.' Wish me luck, she wanted to say, but didn't dare to. She'd be making a complete fool of herself anyway.

She took a deep breath, clutching her wand tightly in her hand, and concentrated fully on the spell. She made the copping- kindof movement that Professor Svensson had shown the class, and muttered in a low voice, `Deprimo!' She knocked the plank with her wand while performing the spell. Nothing happened, the plank was as it had been.

Totally discouraged by the incident, Chelle said, `I should have another go!'. She repeated the movement , this time a little careful not to hit the plank of wood with her wand. Or she might break the wand itself. She shut her eyes tightly right before shouting the incantation out loud. When she opened her eyes, the plank lay split into two. Her spell had worked. Chelle grinned and looked up at Kiri. `How'd I do?' she asked.

"Um... does anyone need a partner?" he asked.

She turned to Evelyn to see what it meant by 'looking busy', and saw her playing with her broken board. Destiny understood, she quickly put her wand on the desk and took off her glasses to pretend to clean them with the sleeve of her robe. She thought 'I am in sooo much trouble.' and an tiny smile appeared.

In your pairs or groups of three, I want only one person at a time to be practicing the spell. Take turns. Understood?"

Without waiting for an answer, Svensson held out a plank to the boy who had asked for a new one before. "If you don't have any questions, you may begin practicing carefully. If you do have a question, raise your hand and I'll answer." If there were lots of questions, people would have to wait. But the students would realize that, he was certain. They were generally rather bright.
