Conjuring birds...well, it was no lion, but birds were good too. Especially since there were a lot of different kinds of birds to choose from.

Under better circumstances, she might've considered trying to conjure something ambitious like an eagle, her house's mascot, or even a raven, but conjuration spells weren't her best, and this term made improving even harder than normal. So Ivy decided to stick to small simple birds.

The spell incantation itself didn't seem so bad, though she did mumble it a few times to herself just to get used to it. It was the wand movement along with it, while also trying to keep the perfect picture of a bird in her mind, that made it more difficult.

The entirety of the practice was spent doing just that, failed attempt after failed attempt after failed attempt. A few of the later tries a few grey feathers were conjured which...was disappointing. A little bit of progress.

But, despite everything, Ivy was stubborn, and at least with this it was easy to not give up.

It wasn't until after the instructions for the main activity and the attack spell were given that she finally, finally made actual progress.

"Avis." Stick figure bird movement. Smoke. BANG. Two little blue-grey birds flying around her.

Finally. Thank Merlin.

Now at least she could still participate. The third year pointed her wand at the Ravenclaw pinata on the left and cast, "Oppugno!", hoping one of the birds would attack it.
