Natasha was already feeling discouraged as she was unable to find a partner. Part of her wanted to just run out and hide, but she was determined to see the lesson through. Getting up as quietly as she could, she fetched a fake wart from the box, then returned to her seat.
After placing the wart on the back of her hand, she readied her wand. ”Pulchtritudo.” She said quietly, giving her wand a tap. It didn't surprise her that nothing happened. Her wand reacted to her emotions. ”Pulchtritudo.” She tried again, attempting to sound more confident. Still nothing. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she tried again. ”Pulchtritudo.” To her surprise, the wart vanished. She checked her hand, but it looked like the charm worked.
Now, for the real test. She found a small freckle on her arm. “Pulchtritudo.” She was scared to look at first, but her arm was fine, and the little freckle was temporarily gone. |
