Although it was more her wand they needed to be keeping an eye on.
"You need to point your wand directly downwards, vertical, right near your object. Then do three clockwise circles, moving your wand further away, and upwards, from your thimble with each one, like so..."
Isabelle did just as she had told them, swirling her wand clockwise and inching it away with every circle, almost as if she was flourishing something from the end of it.
"Floreneo!" Almost as if it was growing out of the thimble, a
red vase spread upwards and stood, complete, when Issy finished moving her wand.
Beaming at them all, she pocketed her wand again and picked up the vase. It was made of rubber, but they didn't know that - so she bounced it on the ground to prove it had worked properly. It came rebounding back up towards her face, and she caught it just before it hit her nose.
"There we go. Mine is rubberised, just to show you the sort of thing you can do. Now, those of you with questions, please ask - the rest of you can begin with practice." OOC: I'm off to bed now. Isabelle will still be there, but I'll reply to questions tomorrow. You may chat with each other about the task, but nothing else please. Have fun!
Lily watched as the professor showed the class the wand movements.
That looks difficult... Lily thought once the professor had successfully made a vase. After writing down the movements, Lily decided she would practice each part separately and then try combining them. So she started muttering, "Flor-en-eo...Flor-eneo... Floreneo" That was good enough for Lily.
Next she decided to practice the movements. Pulling out her wand, she re-read her instructions on what to do. "Start with a downward facing wand... then make 3 clockwise circles, getting further away and higher as you go..." Lily muttered over and over as she practiced the movements. It wasn't as easy as she had hoped. After a bunch of attempts to practice the movements she decided it would be time to try out the spell.
