Although I've... never tried picturing others doing things out of the ordinary," but she had heard about it with things like public speaking.

Beatrice clanged the two small cymbals together once it seemed that everyone had contributed to the discussion. Well, almost everybody. “Great suggestions everyone. I just wanted to repeat one of the suggestions I heard. Paulina made a note that it’s easy to become discouraged, so giving a little pep talk helps. And it can absolutely be discouraging. I remember being a student and having a spell that I could NOT get the hang of. It felt like I had tried everything, and I just couldn’t do it. I became so discouraged and lost confidence in my own abilities, which affected my other subjects. So I want you all to take note of that. It’s important to give yourself a little pep talk once in a while, especially when dealing with difficult things. Because YOU ARE ALL capable if you put your mind to it.” She paused, looking at all of them. “All of you are capable if you put your mind to it,” she repeated. It was important.

After another few seconds, she moved on. “My second question, leading from that, is how do you feel when you can’t cast a spell, even one you keep practicing? Do those methods you just mentioned help? Or do you have to try something else?”[/COLOR]

"You should try it, Professor!" And he was going to continue eating this lollipop whilst other people answered and whilst Professor York talked some more. She did a lot of that, the talking.. But he didn't mind. She was one of his favourite teachers at Hogwarts and she taught one of his favourite subjects also. He hung off of her every word, nodding at moments he agreed and slusluslurrrping on his lollipop in all quiet moments. Probably very distracting for the Professor and for his fellow students, but he really was enjoying his little dose of sugar. Was there a reason for the lollipops, actually? He supposed that he didn't care, though.

He was just enjoying the lollipop and had enjoyed the other lollipops that he had finished already.

He supposed that Professor York also had another good question and he considered it for a moment before raising his hand (and HAMMERING the heck out of his triangle) with a grin. "I usually take a step away from it, because I don't like not being able to do things." And he usually got very angry with himself. "And then I go over my notes and think about what I should be doing a little more, probably watch some other people to see how they are doing it." And because he was always very observant around people. "Then I try again when I feel confident in myself." Otherwise it was a waste of space.
