Gus let the ones in the later challenges attempt their spells as he turned his attention back toward those stuck on the first. Miss Rowle was able to freeze most of the water and not just a small path, which made him laugh. "Excellent work Miss Rowle!" He waved at the Hufflepuff one, in case anyone was confused as to which one he was speaking to. Mr. Manwaring was able to create a small enough path to head toward the second challenge, while Mr. Gallivan was only able to create a small ripple, unable to freeze anything. Miss Weasley almost had it, but the ice melted before she would be able to step on it. "Try with a little confidence." He quietly encouraged the two. They were almost there.

The professor then stepped back to watch them at work. It didn't matter if they completed it or not, Gus was pleased with the progress they were all making toward mastering the spell. (Outside of Miss Rowle, although he still hoped that she might come around, even if not during this lesson.)
