 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Phoenix hadn't been able to cast the gripping charm successfully in all his practice and not only was it frustrating, but it was also embarrassing. Perhaps he shouldn't have been embarrassed since it was a combined class today with a lot of older students who had more experience, but he was. He felt like the only one who wasn't able to do it yet. Or at least it didn't seem like it. He'd tried to cast the charm on the gloves, over and over, but they didn't seem any different when he tried picking up his books with them.
He had half a mind to just pretend like he'd done it right so as not to draw attention to the fact that he couldn't do it. He could probably climb the tree fine and no one would be the wiser. But it would be even more embarrassing if he fell because he didn't have the charm..
The first year watched some of the older students get started climbing the trees for a moment. He tried on his shoes one more time. "Queritorto!" He lifted his foot to check... and no difference. Sighing, he raised his hand. "Professor, could I have some help?"
