She seemed to be in some need of additional help and hoped Professor Schirmer wouldn't mind the fact that it would require some exchange of words. Hopefully it wouldn't be considered disruptive. "Of course I can." Was his enthusiastic reply, accompanied by a sharp nod.
He took his wand and turned towards her. "The wand movement is as simple as a point" He demonstrated by swiftly pointing his wand at his parchment and posing, like he was about to duel it. "That easy." He repeated as he readjusted himself comfortably in his chair. "Then, all you do is say the incantation." He instructed and turned all of his attention to the parchment. "Finite." He spoke loudly and clearly, maybe a tad too loudly. He looked at Professor Schirmer apologetically, then back at Beatrice. "Remember to concentrate on ending the previous charm. Concentration is key, after all."
He pointed his wand at his hand once again, twisted it, tapped it, and said: "Prehenso.". His hand began to tingle again, confirming the success of the cast. "Okay, now try to cast the Finite Charm on it." He said offering his bewitched hand. Maybe it would make her feel more comfortable if she had both hands? ...For balance? At least if something went wrong it wasn't her hand that would explode, or swell, or shrink, so that should be comforting.
She listened intently at the Prefect as he told her the correct wand movement for it. Just a point.
"Okay..a point." she looked at his hand which held the wand while he demonstrated the proper wand movement for her to learn. She nodded at the Prefect, indicating that she got it.
Next, on to the incantation. It was just a plain 'Finite'.
"Finitee..err--it was Finite right?" she inquired but didn't wait for his reply when she continued.
"Finite.." Breathe.
"Finite." It was always a hard work for her to learn incantations since she was never good at memorizing them.
She stared blankly as the Prefect casted the Prehenso spell on his own wand and told her to perform the Finite spell on it. What? His hand?
"I...err--okay." she replied as she rolled up the sleeves of her uniform and pulled her wand out, pointing its tip on Eino's hand.
Okay..just a point Beatrice and a simple Finite incantation, she kept reminding herself.
"Finite." she muttered as she posed her wand a bit towards his charmed hand. "
Well..did it work?" she inquired.
