Alexandra took a deep breath concentrated on the pretty pink daisies and tried again... "Reverto" she said in a commanding voice. To her amazement the daisies turned to seeds in front of her eyes. If she had been able to smile she would have! She looked fondly at the seeds and moved on to the next challenge.
Closing her eyes again she imagined pretty pink and black butterflies and with a wave of her wand she said, "Papilio". Opening her eyes she saw a pretty little butterfly fluttering about. She caught it on the tip of her finger and set it on the desk in front of her. Concentrating really hard she did the wand movement and said, "Reverto". Weeellllll.... there was now a half caterpillar, half butterfly in front of her... it was rather unsightly too. Grimacing she tried once again. "Reverto" she said a bit more forcefully. Now it was about 3/4 caterpillar. Grrrrr... "Reverto!" she exclaimed as she did the wand movement. This time fthe butterfly turned completely into a black caterpillar with little pink spots on it. It was actually kind of cute.
