Repeating the incantation a few more times for good measure, Stella looked up as Professor Bentley demonstrated the wand movement. It seemed easy enough, but then she remembered the lesson on wand movements last term in Charms, too. The easy movements sometimes proved to be more difficult, so she spent a few seconds visualizing the movement, not to mention successfully accomplishing it. She didn't really think she'd have difficulty, but then she'd thought the incantation would have been easy for her too.

However, once she decided it would be better to actually practice, she slid her wand out of its holster and bent her wrist like the professor had done. Staying away from her shoes, or anyone else's, was an interesting feat, but she focused on a planter nearby as she rotated her wrist and moved her wand in a circular motion. Nothing should happen anyhow, as they weren't combining the movement with the incantation yet, but she wanted to be safe anyway. Repeating the movement, she found herself having to stop after half a dozen circles as her wrist started to cramp. How can Professor bentley do this without feeling like she's going to sprain her wrist?, she wondered, shiting her wrist back straight and leaving her wand loose in her fist. She wanted to make sure she was still ready for the next step, after all, even if she was taking a break from practice.
