“And then you say Lumos!” A white glow appeared at the end of the professor’s wand. “Now you lot try. Remember: will, wand, and word!”
I glanced around me and then thought Lumos. My wand tip glowed red.
“Ah, look -- well done, Tom!” He patted my shoulder. “A rare red hue, too. Five points to Slytherin.”

I tucked that thought away and turned to assist the boy next to me.
