    ...

    "How did you do that?" Daphne asked, she had been trying the first spell and there had been no change in her match as of yet. She followed the spells perfectly, her pronunciation was good and even her wand movements were kind of okay. She couldn''t help but figure out why Rigel succeded and she failed.

    "I just followed the steps," Rigel replied. She frowned at him so he motioned for her to do the spell, "Go on let me see what you are doing..."

    Rigel focused on the mana traveling through Daphne''s wand, Daphne''s mana was a soft light violet in color and it remained like that until she began doing the spiral wand movement. Instead of the light blue color that Rigal and Minerva''s mana gained upon using the material change spell, it turned a pale white and then switched color to red as she completed the thrusting movement and spoke, "Metamorfo?no Me?tallo~"Visitt  for the latest updates

    Nothing happened yet again as the mana fizzled out of her wand having no structure. She turned to Rigel with a raised eyebrow, "See nothing happened I did everything right."

    "Did you translate the symbols and the spell?" Rigel asked and she showed him her notes. Her notes were correct so the only thing that could be wrong now was her intent.

    "And what are you focusing on turning this match into?" Rigel asked.

    "A needle obviously," Daphne replied. Rigel gave her a deadpanned look which caused Daphne to look at her notes again before she gave him another questioning look.

    "What?" She asked.

    "Your intent is wrong, you are thinking about the end product while the spell you translated is just transforming a match into a metal match. Try again but this time think about turning this wooden match into a metal one, think about the changing metal and not the shape." Rigel explained. Daphne gave him a thankful look before she turned to her match and focused.

    Daphne gave him a questioning look but he did motion for her to go on without him. Everyone gave the two of them curious glances and Ron was the last one to leave the class as he had a concerned look on his face.

    "Alright, not here, follow me," Rigel spoke as he left the classroom, sure enough, plenty of his peers were hanging around hoping to eavesdrop, giving everyone a loose glare he pushed through the crowd and quickly found an empty classroom.

    "In here," Rigel spoke and Harry followed him in without hesitation. Rigel didn''t know if it was a sign of bravery or idiocy but he left that for later as he closed the door and cast the locking charm on it.

    "Colloportus~" Rigel incanted as the red spell collided with the door and his mana seeped into it.

    "What was that spell?" Harry asked, his face a little apprehensive.

    "The locking charm," Rigel responded and the green-eyed boy grimaced slightly. Rigel walked over to a desk, used a finger to run across its surface to test how dusted it was, and then hopped onto it.

    "So has Ron not managed to corrupt your thinking yet? Why would you walk into a room with a Slytherin alone?" Rigel joked.

    Harry gave him a confused look before his face turned serious as he spoke, "I want to talk to you about your parents..."

    ...

    ...

    ''Huh...''

    AN - How would this talk go? Any guesses?
