"Now, once you hear nothing in your mind, focus on the silence itself, not on the absence of ticking, and try again."
Iris smiled a little to herself as Professor Kingsley said the first part, and then concentrated as he told her what she had to do to completely change the bracelet back.
"Okay..." She said, with a little nod as she closed her eyes.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ...
She felt a bit foolish, sat in class with her eyes shut... Still, she concentrated on the sound of the ticking from the clock!bracelet, and focused on it getting quieter and quieter. While she was doing this, she also blocked out the sounds of people muttering the spell, so that she could eventually just focus on the silence completely.
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ,tick, tick ...
When she couldn't hear the ticking anymore, Iris listened to the silence and focused in on it for a while, before opening her eyes again; still focusing on the silence. She raised her wand again and repeated the spell,
"reverto!" along with the flourishingness of the wand, too.
Iris looked to her bracelet, and picked it up cautiously, examinining it. Well... It looked exactly how it did before it became a clock ... and there wasn't any ticking anymore.
"It's worked, Professor... I think..." She said, looking up at the Professor.
