Charms assignment– write about a failed charm. Prompt: obvious
Careless
His eyes flickered to his right where the Weasley boy was holding both their wands loosely in his hand. He was still faking unconsciousness, and the two boys somehow believed him.
He wondered if they were simply that stupid. He had thought it was fairly obvious that he was awake, but apparently not obvious enough for the two of them.
Gryffindors, he thought distastefully, so careless.
Weasley and Potter both turned away from him, eyes searching the surrounding area. He could not tell what they were looking for, and he had no desire to find out either.
Springing forward, his hand grasped one of the wands in the Weasley boy's hand. It wasn't his own wand that much he could tell, but it didn't matter.
The wand would work for him.
"Looks like the game is up, boys."
The two were still as they watched the wand in his hand. They must have known he had at least a little more power than he previously had. They watched him speak for while looking slightly shocked, and vaguely impatient. He didn't like that they didn't have their complete attention on him, like he deserved. He deserved their complete attention, and he would get it.
"Obliviate!"
It was the only charm he had ever bothered to master because the Memory Charm was the only one he had ever needed. It was the one charm that had never failed him like so many others had done, by no fault of his own of course.
Except this time his charm did. His infallible charm, failed.
He felt himself flying backwards and barely had enough time to register shock before everything became a mysterious black.
