Harvey Forsfelle :: Ravenclaw ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ Claimed by Bits ❤️ ~ Queen of Typos ❄ Magical Mosh Pit ❄ Harvey, now done with practise, approached one of the pillars. Said practise actually boosted his confidence level though a little self doubt poked at him jaggedly with its many sharp corners. Closer examination of the pillars showed that he could actually sit there on one quite comfortably. Okay, so maybe he did not have to worry about failing that much.
Well… here went nothing!
Harv took a deep breath, his intent clear as he pictured himself on that pillar. “Ascendio.” Chill. Calm. Cool. Collected. Somewhat focused. He felt his feet separate from the ground for about three seconds after he pointed his wand upwards. He landed with a soft thump! “Ascendio.” A little higher this time, but overall, it took four tries to make himself ascend onto that pillar smoothly and in one go. He stood atop it, looking over his classmates, a tiny grin the only thing showcasing how triumphant he felt.
Getting himself down would prove tricker though. “Descendo.” Maybe his spellwork was just off but the elongated C shape wand movement did not help. “Descendo.” With some more intent, Harv tried again, and much to his surprise, he found himself floating to the ground. His landing was not the best though. The third year landed heavily which made him stagger in an attempt not to fall over.
What was important was that he was successful with the activity. |
