It wasn't that Atlas flinched at Lisa's mispronunciation...but Atlas flinched a bit at each of Lisa's mispronunciation. Flinch AND mutter 'pensieve' under his breath with each utterance of the Ravenclaw's. The excellent from Professor Varma was very much appreciated, by the way, and Atlas sort of wiggled in his seat as the lecture continued and the actual to-do list revealed.
Atlas remembered the pinhole camera project dad had done with himself and Aries when they were little. Also a whole bunch of talk about the rectilinear theory of light...though by the time Atlas got to thinking about raising his hand to explain the more science-y side of everything...things had moved on. The sad this being that no one had talked about the rectilinear theory of light either. Truly a tragedy.
The ebony color of the professor's brew was really pretty though...and the Gryffindor felt a certain kind of irony in that a developing solution that produced clear images was so...not clear.
Speaking of clear, Atlas FIRST made sure that his cauldron was clean and free of any containments (his wand did enough damage on its own to not introduce outside disasters too) and then took a deeeeeeeeeeeep breath before pointing his wand inside the cauldron. "A-Aguamenti?"
Nothing.
"Aaaaaaaaguamenti?"
Still nothing.
"Aguamenti?!"
Again...nothing.
Perhaps there was something clogging up the tip of his wand? Atlas pointed the wand at his own face to inspect it when suddenly a jet of water erupted from his wand and knocked him square off his stool. Legs flailing and water shooting upwards and then raining down on others, the second year toppled over and landed on his back with a dull thud.
This would not have happened if the spell had been Bombarda.
