Once the instructions were on his paper, he looked up at the Professor when she pronounced the incantation they were suppose to use and he just felt his heart pound against his rib cage. It wasn't just a small incantation he was suppose to recite either; it was a BIG one with lots of his words his mind would like to switch out.
Meh.
He whispered to himself now so nobody else could hear him, "Cahw-ned-sis..." No. "Cwah-dne-sis..." Again, no.
He raised his hand into the air now. "Professor, could you pronounce that one more time?" You know, for the dyslexics in the room... or maybe it was just him. *mellow* It was always just HIM. The odd one out. The black duck in a pond full of white ducks.

"Put these two sounds together," she said, turning toward him. "Shhh" ... "Aw." ... "Shaw." Kind of like telling somebody to be quiet and then getting sad and saying Awwww... "Then add den-sis." Kind of like a living room...and then having a sister. "Put it all together--Chaw-den-sis. Chaudensis."
So she wasn't the professor, but seeing as the boy was sitting right next to her and she could use the extra practice anyway, Sierra decided to do her good deed for the year.
She had been about to assist the Slytherin Boy when Sierra beat her to it... ahh good,
"Thank you Sierra," she said brightly as she continued to make her way around the group to make sure everyone was on task.
Everything sounded good to her.
"Alright everyone, now we're going to practice the wand movement."
She watched them all... that's right wands out. Keep with it!
Holding her own wand in front of her she bent her hand at the wrist so her wand was directed at the ground.
"Now you want a smooth rotation, remember to bend at the wrist, there is no need to move your whole hand... a little too much force and the charm could go horribly wrong. Please aim your wand away from your feet and DO NOT repeat the incantation as you do so... we are ONLY doing to wand movement at this stage, you can perform the two together in the next step."
Seren continued to demonstrate by rotating her wand in a circular fashion, as if tracing a circle.
...
OOC: Hey! Just practice the wand movement ONLY for the time being, the lesson will resume in approx 12 hours with the practical activity. Thanks!
