Hmm, she had a feeling she knew what this question was based on, considering the Gryffindor's want to talk to her earlier in the week. Putting a hand on her shoulder she smiled. "Don't worry, it'll be fine."


Isabelle laughed at the question. As if she'd show them something they couldn't change back from. "Yes, there is a counterspell. I won't be making you walk around the school dressed like a clown." Although that was a good idea for anyone in detention.

--------------------------------------------------------

Tapping her head twice, Isabelle's hair slowly went back to it's original long dark hue. "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.





OOC: I'm heading to bed now, but Isabelle will always be there watching. Just follow the instructions she's given, and please HAVE FUN! No excessive chatter though, and no bad behaviour. heh. I'll move on to the second spell tomorrow.
