Indigo was finding this whole lesson pretty interesting, to be honest. The idea that some muggle magicians were actual wizards had kind of shifted his entire perspective. What was the likelihood of that? Were a lot of supposed muggle magicians actually wizards? Or was that only a few outliers, and most of them were actually muggles? He assumed there were still a lot of actual muggle magicians doing magic tricks that seemed like actual magic but weren't. He was wondering now if he had ever seen an actual wizard and assumed they were just a muggle magician.
As for his magician name, Indigo was coming up blank. He wasn't really the most creative person, so he was having trouble with this. Alliteration seemed to be a good way to go, so what adjective started with I that he could put in front of his name? Oh, what about the Incredible Indigo? Yeah, that seemed good enough.
On to the actual magic. This would probably be much easier if they could just start out with a top hat and turn it into a rabbit. Indigo could probably do that. Conjuring a top hat would be the hard part. He usually had some trouble with conjuring. It was pretty advanced. But if everyone in the class was expected to do the spell then it couldn't be too difficult, right? There were first years here, after all. Before trying the spells, Indigo copied them both down into his notes. Then it was time to actually try the spell. He took out his wand and tried to act very confident. The magic would know if he wasn't. "Pileus Turritus." He said the incantation with all the confidence he could muster, all the while concentrating on a top hat. But one did not appear in front of him, which was unfortunate. He tried it again, and again, to no avail. He was trying not to get frustrated, which was all too easy to do when the magic didn't work on the first or third time, but he knew that wouldn't help at all. So he took a deep breath to focus himself and tried again. "Pileus Turritus" And there it was, a top hat on the desk in front of him. Indigo smiled at his success and turned to the next spell. "Lapifors." The top hat was gone, and in its place was a rabbit. It hopped once, and then disappeared. So that hadn't been great, but he had done it. But yes, he would try again.
