 Post #4 Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
The swirling of the crystal ball was mesmerizing in a whole new way and seemed to suck her further into a trance-like state. Sophie watched, her gaze shifting into focus as she tried to see... something in the swirling fog. Maybe some sort of shape or a person or maybe if she was really lucky, a whole situation...
Did it even work that way? She wasn't sure.
But the more she wanted to see something now, the more discouraged Sophie got as she... could see nothing but the fog itself. No defined shapes. Just fogginess, and the swirling of it was slowing as she grew more frustrated. Her mind had drifted to the unfairness of how easy it was for some people to succeed at this and how useless the subject itself seemed to be. She didn't need scrying or divination as a whole to be good at making wands, did she? Ira HADN'T said she needed to be good at it! Maybe she'd drop it next term so she could focus on the ones he HAD said. Yeah. She didn't need this class.
...But that didn't stop her from wanting to be successful at it. Not being able to do something? That wasn't the way she liked to do things.
By now, her concentration had drifted so far that he crystal ball was nearly back to its original state, the fog mostly dissipated. And Sophie sighed. Lame.
