Ary tried a chip and was heartily disappointed to find that it wasn’t even minutely spicy. He instantly had a mental picture of this Charm surfacing in the upcoming OWL exam and him failing miserably. It was safe to say such a thought was motivation enough for him to try again. “Condio Creo.” With intent and newfound gusto, the unicorn hair- core wand was moved over the chips in the ‘U’ shape. Before he could test his handiwork, Jan snagged one. “Did it work?” Ary asked eagerly, only to have his hopeful bubble burst when his best friend shook his head. The guy huffed. “I’d better not finish this entire plate without having that spell work,’’ he grumbled.
Then it was back to practice.
The chips pile got smaller yet there wasn’t any progress, not until there were like half a dozen left, anyway. At least Ary’s hopefulness hadn’t completely evaporated so it was with that that he bit into another chip. Immediately the mild but sharp spicy taste lit up his taste buds.
Finally!
Ary nudged the plate towards Jan. “Try them,’’ he said, thoroughly pleased with himself. “Don’t worry, it’s not spicy enough to burn your tongue off." |
