A mess and a friend

@John Wolfe

Angela was sitting in transfiguration class when the professor walked into class with a bright and cheery smile on her face, her robes were all the house colors, red, yellow, green and purple, her shoes clicked on the floor as she walked to the front of the room and made silver bowls appear on everyone's desk "Ok class! Today we will be working on the water making spell. I put a bowl in front of you all so all you have to do is make a sideways S and say the incantation Aguamenti" The bowl on her desk was immediately filled with water, everybody was excited and began almost right away before they were stopped "Now if you were to seriously butcher the name AND the incantation it would cause the water to be turned into sticky mud-like substance and it is almost impossible to get it all washed away, but we wouldn't want that now would we. Continue on class" The professor smiled warmly and walked around the classroom and watched the students. Angela smiled happily and tried the spell, she made a normal S with her wand and recited the incantation "Aquamenta" it did nothing, she grumbled and tried again doing the same movements but wrong pronunciation "Agumente" Still nothing happened and she huffed getting a bit angry.

The professor walked by and chuckled at her attempts "Wrong movement and wrong incantation" The professor gestured to the other students who were doing the spell perfectly which made Angela angrier, Angela sighed and kept trying but ultimately failing, people started to watch and judge her which made her uneasy to the point where she was shaking. She did it again and sighed with a drop of her wand "I'm never going to get this right, rwy'n gollwr" She shook her head and watched the other students continue to work on the spell and cheer when they got it right, she looked over at the boy who sat beside her wondered why he hadn't even tried to do the spell yet, he looked like a pure-blood so she thought he would get it right on the first try but she quickly looked away and back at her empty bowl with a sad look on her face as thoughts of self-doubt washed through her brain.
