No, this was some weird temporary thing. It would pass. He grinned at Hannah as she said thanks. Wow! That was weird hearing something nice from her. His grin flickered, however when Hannah's hand took forever to meet his. She definitely had this thing worse than he did.

Adi watched Hannah give the next spell a shot. And she got it on the first try! "Oh, that is so cool! Way to go!'' He grinned, contemplating on another high five but then decided to spare his friend?acquaintance the pain of slow movements. "Alright. I'm practicing so I'll just boost my concentration then.'' He focused on the wood and in his mind, he pictured the boat much like the one he had transfigured in class. "Lignum Navicula!" Tap and concentrate! Nothing. "Lignum Navicula!" Tap and concentrate again. Woah! The wood sprang into a perfect boat. But that lasted for about two seconds before it sprang back into a piece of wood again. Adi stared over at Hannah, his eyes wide with wonder. "That's never happened before,'' he said. He found it totally cool! One second there was wood, another second a bout and two seconds later wood again. Heh. "I'll give that another shot in a few. You try again.''
Hannah couldn't help but to feel a little proud of Adi as she watched him better himself with each passing try. Her protective side always seemed to come out when it came to him, and she was actually okay with this for the most part. "Look at you." she said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster. "Errr... I've never seen that happen either, but you made a boat so that is progress." That was something rather then getting no results at all.

So it was her turn again and she wanted to keep making progress so she once again tried to concentrate on making a big beautiful boat. She raised her arm wand and pointed it at the wood. CRACK! "Owww." The seventh year stopped and massaged her arm. Her elbow is in so much pain. She tried to bend it and it didn't seem to be broke or anything. It however was really sore. Giving this another shot she once again pointed her wand and she couldn't help but to wince because of the pain, but she was not going to let that fail her. "Lignum Navicula!" and the wood twitched and that was all. Ugh! This was so frustrating. How was she going to concentrate when she was completely falling apart?

Pushing the pain to the back of her mind, Hannah tried for the third time to make something happen. "Lignum Navicula!" and poof! There stood a beautiful boat, even bigger than the first time she had done it. "Ready to give it another go? I am sure that you will get it right the next time." She had faith in him.
