Luck was happening for her, and she was feeling good about it. Something about being in a good mood sure made the homework seem easier. Her salamander never blinked or seemed like it was hurt, so she figured practicing on the creatures wasn't so bad after all. He would thaw out eventually.

Now where was another target when you needed one? AJ was not about to wait for the first salamander to thaw out. She was not patient enough for that in the least. Here salamanders, salamanders, salamanders...

As if on cue, once came scuttling from behind a bin. Wicked. A moving target was even better. It was time to see if she still had it when it came to her aim. "Glacius." No frozen critter. Dang.

"Glacius." Jaaaaab. The salamander was getting away.... no! If he would just be still, AJ would be able to get her spell to work, maybe. "Glacius." This time the spell worked, and she made contact. Double success. Two frozen salamanders. One more to go.
