(Your name's) Report Card:

Transfiguration- T

Charms- T

Defense Against the Dark Arts- T

How horrid!! This might be what your report card looks like! Why, though? Maybe because you can't ace classes with your wand. If you have these sorry problems, ask your teachers on that subject for help. They will be sure to help you gain control. Remember, it may not only be your wand! You can really ace class if you do these things:

1. Be obedient and not get into detention. Your professor might lower not only your conduct grade but your learning grade too when this happens.
2. Try to always be alert and listen in class! Don't fiddle too much and remember: you should always have a notebook for each subject and take LOTS OF NOTES!
3. Don't sit next to talkative people or friends when doing individual work. This may interrupt your learning and annoy your professor!
4. Try very hard in class. If you are just having trouble understanding, ask your professor to hold extra lessons for you so you will get a steady explanation. 

If your wand is really the burden in this situation, here are some tips:

• Listen slowly and always read/listen to instructions twice to get a full meaning.
• Hold your wand steadily when performing spells and charms. Never hold a wand loosely. Always have a tight, steady grip. 
• Speak your incantations clearly. If you are pronouncing Accio as Atthio or another incantation incorrectly or in a muffled voice, practice in a very clear, steady voice.
• Always wave your wand correctly. If the instructions tell you to move your wand twice in a circular pattern, don't hold it in static! Wave it twice in a circle!
• Point directly at what you are performing the spell on. Also, do not jerk your wand at an object when casting and incantation unless instructed to. You might damage the object/organism.
