Listening to Professor Roman is explain the first spell they were going to perform, Lux got her wand ready and then nodded when Fern said to start practicing.
"Rictusempra... Rictusempra..." The pronunciation wasn't really hard, so Lux was not really worried about it. Catching her partner do an arrow in the wrong direction, she was about to comment, when Fern corrected for it. Good.
Arrow to the right. Arrow to the right. Another arrow to the right.
"Okay, I am ready too. Who casts first?" This asking approach might be better than randomly attacking. Lux was not one for randomly attacking people with spells.
”I’ll go first! Ready?” Fern pointed her wand at Lux,
”One! Two! Three! Rictusumpra!” At the same time she called out the spell, she made a quick arrow to the right with her wand and –
Nothing.
Fern’s freckled cheeks flushed a shade of pink, and avoiding eye contact, she complained,
”It’s my wand. The stupid thing burned my favorite shirt, and it like hates me. I wouldn’t have bought it except for the mean wand seller MADE me.” She smacked it against her knee a couple of times,
”Come on! Work! Rictusempra!” Arrow to the right, and SILVER LIGHT! Fern was so excited to see actual results that she lost her aim, and the beam of light went shooting haphazardly across the room.
