WHY didn't she float? Or fly? Or even jump? Louisa frowned down at the vial and shook it. Okay, maybe now it'd work. Right? Right.

She closed her eyes again and this time her mind conjured her latest happy - no, fantastical moment when Joao's lips touched hers in eight of January, her fifteenth birthday. Louisa's first kiss had been planned and fantasized with another boy for so long, even in her diary she never wrote or thought about it to be with Joao, the sophisticated boy from Brazil. Yet destiny brought him this year to Hogwarts to let her move on and enjoy the feeling.

Yes, it was definitely happier than the tire-swinging one with Dallin.

Siiiip.

This time Louisa's feet did leave the floor but only for a second or two before landing with an inaudible thud. She pouted and wanted to throw the vial from the closest window. "This potion insults my happy memories!" Calling out randomly.

Thank Merlin Louisa had stubbornness of a cat because she was to try this until it worked. HMPH.
