If others couldn't see the absolute glee on her face....Well, then they were blind and that was hardly her fault. See, Professor Paul had pointed out HER answer. Gosh, it was such a trivial thing, but it meant the absolute world to her. You know, because this was her favorite subject (well, one of them) and.... Just, yes. She was grinning brightly at the older man, so pleased to have contributed in a substantial way.

Go her!

Anyway, her answer had essentially been the correct one. It was sensory in that way that it could pick up on the emotions surrounding it. Well, if she was understanding right... Since they were learning the counterpart to the Cheering Charm. Of course, the bit about casting the spell on the tree itself was a new one. Liv had not anticipated THAT... but as Levi had mentioned, there were spells that worked on this tree's cousin, the Whomping Willow. And to quote muggle pop culture...It was all the same to the many-faced God.

Now for the practice... It was strange learning charms in Herbology class, but Liv found she enjoyed it all the same. Though she loved her Head of House dearly, Professor Paul was.... Well, Professor Paul. He had the ability in making her more relaxed, despite being in this overwhelming school setting. Given everything happening in her life recently, it was no easy task. So, that was probably why the Gryffindor felt 100% relaxed when she easily maneuvered her wand through the motion, mumbling "Mae...ro...ro," without putting any real intention behind it. Not yet. Practice first. Cast second. Besides, the upside-down 'U' was reminiscent of a reverse smile. Easy enough to remember, since this spell was meant to induce the sads, amright?

"Mae....roro...... Mae...roro." It wasn't too hard to say, either. Three syllable spells were sorta simple when thinking about all the other crazy magic they were expected to learn here. Maeroro, maeroro, maeroro.... The spelling and pronunciation were totally throwing her off as mae didn't sound like 'my'. No, it was more like "may", right? Since there were people with it in their actual names. Actually, it was an ideal middle name, yeah. So, according to the spelling, it was making her want to say 'may-ro-ro', but Professor Paul was saying 'my-ro-ro'. Why were words so hard sometimes? Frustrating things, they were. Okay, enough internal dialogue. Olivia thought she was ready to attempt it. And hopefully, her stupid head wouldn't get in the way. Dumb headaches were dumb. Besides, this didn't seem too advanced...

Oh, and she couldn't forget to grab some phials. Wait, some or ONE. Eh, to be safe, the blonde grabbed two. She probably wouldn't be able to fill both, but.... Well, obviously she was going to try her best to do so. Kinda like a challenge for...herself, yeah.
