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!
Incantation practice done. Wand movement practice to commence. When Professor Bentley told them that they're going to practice the wand movement, Beezus loosened her striped blue and bronze neck tie and then pulled out her wand from its holster. Okay, ready to go.
Beezus frowned slightly as she watched how the Herbology Professor performed the correct wand movement. Circular rotation, was it?
The young Ravenclaw bent her own hand that was holding her wand that it was now facing the ground. And keep in mind, aim it away from your feet so she shuffled a bit backwards and did the wand movement. Following the Professor's lead, she slowly rotated her wrist, her wand almost tracing a circle. Almost, but not quite yet. It seemed to trace an oblong instead!
