This is not a shouting match, but it could get that way any moment now.
"I'm not impugning your quality, Mr. Ollivander, but if you don't want to sell me a wand -"
"I have sold you a wand, Miss Swan, and if you say it does not suffice for your purposes I do not see how else I could possibly interpret you."
"Only in quantity!" she says. "I just want two."
"With an attitude like that you might one day find yourself in possession of two pieces -"
"That's exactly the sort of reason I want a second! If you won't sell me one -"
"I have sold you one, good day, Miss Swan!" Ollivander turns to the next customer. "Pardon her. What can I do for you today?"

"I can probably fail at something around it, there's at least a decent chance it'll catch fire," says Sadde.

Willow shoots Sadde a glare but doesn't say anything, choosing instead to take a few seconds to psych herself up. "Come on, Maxwell, you can do this, you'll show them, you'll show them all!" she murmurs to herself.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" she says at the feather and it... twitches. Very slightly, it raises about a third of an inch from the desk, but she just beams and says, "I did it! I did it! I'm a witch! I'm a real witch!"

Willow giggles helplessly.
She doesn't manage much more than that for the rest of the class, but her one little success has given her enough hope for the future!
Sadde learns how to hold a feather steady and even move it around a little without needing to meditate on it for ten minutes, and then tries doing the same with her pen, with mostly failures. Speaking of, she decides to write some notes on her little notepad about what works and what doesn't, before putting her stuff away.

Miranda and Karen wind up having their feathers chasing each other around in the air by the time Flitwick dismisses them.

Sadde's kinda envious, and Willow's as oblivious as ever.
"What do you eagles have up next?" she asks.

She shrugs. "Because it's much less of a mouthful to say 'Lion' than 'Gryffindor' or 'Eagle' than 'Ravenclaw,'" she explains.

Sadde seems to somehow have managed to befriend a Gryffindor firstie, in spite of being a Slytherin. Older Snakes that see them talking to each other amicably seem to have trouble processing it.
She looks around for Miranda, Willow, and Karen.

Wave back! She beelines to them and asks, "How'd the whole flying wooden sticks thing go?"

"It was great! I fell three times and scratched my hand!" she says, showing a scratch on her right palm. "But after that I managed to stay on the broom all the time!"

"I didn't fall at all! I have to work really hard to not fall when I'm walking, so that's pretty impressive. And flying is great."

"Defence Against the Dark Arts and then Astronomy!" she says. "It says something that school teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts to eleven-year-old children."
