That was the first step of being a great wizard.

As he watched Jaemin do the entire charm he wasn't surprised when it didn't work. "You have everything correct and I know with more practice you will probably be the first in your year to get this right. Just keep working on it and I know you'll get it. Make sure you are confident in yourself as the more confidence that comes out in your voice the more your spell and wand will work for you." He had watched many good wizards fail at charms because their lack of confidence made their wands not want to work with them.

Moving back to his seat behind his desk he watched Jaemin a bit longer, "I have nothing for awhile if you'd like to stay and practice or if you'd feel more comfortable somewhere else that's fine as well. You are doing very well though."
Even though he knew that being a first year meant that he was unlikely to master this spell quickly, it was still a bit frustrating that he couldn't get it to work. He wanted to be good at everything, and everything included this. It wasn't surprising, but it still suuuuuuucked, and he tried his best not to be disappointed.

Confidence. Confidence. He could do confidence. He nodded as the professor spoke, biting his lip. He wanted to be the first one in his year to get it! It would be really cool. He looked at his wand. "When are you supposed to learn spells like this? Is it when you're supposed to learn the Patroneous one, too?"

How was it decided when stuff like this was learned? He did the circle thing again, and said the spell as confidently as possible. It still didn't do anything, but he was going to work his way up to it. He was sooooo going to get this spell. He was determined to get it to work.
