"Yeah, too bad. I'm sure there's a spell that could make them move but I have no idea what it is or where to find it."
Kourtney grinned, pleased that Olivia was happy with the flower. "We're very cool looking clowns." She said with a laugh.
Her brow then crinkled as she thought about Olivia's words. "Hmm, I'm sure there is, but we might have to ask the professor about it...like after class or something. I think it would be really great if she could do it." Oh, she would totally ask the professor for help with that spell.

"Right then everyone, you've had a while to put on your costumes and the face paints - and I must say most of you are looking very good. Others appear to think they can get away with sitting and doing nothing." Grabbing a couple of face paint boxes and costumes, Issy walked around the tables of the kids that were not getting involved, and placed them down. Yes, it may be silly, but why not get in character to perform the spell?
"Okay then, once you have all finished doing that, please watch me as I properly demonstrate the first spell. I'll be handing out mirrors for you all to perform this on yourselves, as I'd rather you didn't practice on each other just yet." Not much could go wrong, admittedly, but Issy didn't want to take any risks with spell work.
Holding her wand above her head, she lowered it gently and tapped once on her crown area "Fel-in-tas!" Her hair changed again, this time to a short bob style. Grinning, Issy moved her hand away and looked around at the kids. "Now the wand movement is as simple as tapping your head once. But the concentration is the hardest part. You really need to picture in your minds eye the style and length you wish your hair to be. In your case like a clown - although there are MANY different types of clown hair. We'll move on to colours when you have all completed this spell properly."
Removing the hand held mirrors from the other box, Isabelle placed some on the desk and held a few in her hands. "First I would like you all to come and get a mirror, then imagine how you are going to look. Once you are confident you can commence practice."
She was just about to hand over the first mirror when she remembered something. "If you wish to revert back to your ordinary hair, and try more than one style, the counter spell is 'Int-ar-is' - with two taps on your head as you say it, concentrating on what you looked like before. I'll do that for you if you don't feel confident enough to try yourselves."
Scribbling on the board she added the new pieces of information.

As the professor began to speak once more, Kourtney turned her head in that direction, listening carefully to the spoke instructions. Hmm, this could be a really useful spell, especially when involved in a formal occasion or any occasion that was not casual. Such useful spells they were.
Since Kourtney had her own mirror, she simply allowed the rest of the class to retrieve one and pulled out her own, peering into it. The butterfly really did come out great. She scrunched up her face and wiggled the muscles in her cheeks. If she did that, the butterfly almost did seem like it was moving.
Okay....so, she wanted to look like a clown so that entailed a bit of frizzy and poofy hair. Well..her hair was naturally curly, so she didn't have much to do there, but she definitely needed to shorten it and poof it up. For a moment, she simply stared at herself in the mirror, imagining what she would look like with the clown hairstyle.
Soon, she was ready to try it. Raising her wand, he tapped the top of her head, concentrating on changing the style into that of a clown. Felintas! Nothing happened. She hadn't really expected it, but still....
Kourt drew in another breath and once more pictured the hair style. It was a little hard to keep the picture in mind and say the incantation, but there was a way to do it. Felintas...Felintas...Tapping her wand on the top of her head, she intoned "Felintas." A tingle was felt and she watched as her hair shrunk and her curls became tighter. Now she was a brown, frizzy haired clown. She had to admit that she looked kind of ridiculous since brown really didn't go well with her outfit or her facepaint, but at least she had did it!
Now to go back to how she was...She raised her wand again and tapped her head twice, saying "Intaris" Her hair slowly relaxed back to its original state.
She grinned towards Olivia before raising her wand to practice further.
