"Thank you, Professor." Eino said and returned the nod. He made a little note on the 'h' in 'prehenso' to note that it was, in fact, pronounced. There, now he wouldn't forget it. He quickly looked back up at Professor Schirmer and, after listening to the instructions, he jotted them down. He put his parchment and quill away, then rolled up his sleeves so they wouldn't get in the way. Next, he picked up his wand, and before practicing he pointed the wand at his sleeves and muttered
"Lentesco" to prevent them from unfolding. Flopping sleeves were a nuisance and potentially a hazard, so he felt more comfortable without that to worry.
Once that was done, he checked to make sure they wouldn't bother him and proceeded to practice the spell. He open his left hand completely, and tightly gripping his wand with his right hand he twisted then tapped the opposite hand.
"Prehenso."There was a light tingling sensation, which indicated his hand had been successfully enchanted, but to prove it, he ran his left hand along the desk. It was noticeably roughened, as the professor say it would, so it had worked.
Now that he had a charmed hand, he offered to demonstrate how to cast the Finite Charm. He put his wand down, raised his right hand, and when Professor Schirmer gave him permission he picked his wand back up and moved to the front of the classroom. He held his enchanted hand up for everyone to see it, then he pointed the wand directly at his palm and said the incantation very clearly,
"Finite." Before returning to his seat he looked at Professor Schirmer and nodded.
