Besides he had plenty of time to practice. She gave him a smile as she walked off.

Several of the students were taking advantage of the tank Issy had provided for them, which was pleasing to see. And so far none of them had sunk. Which was even better. Although Kurumi looked a little nervous moving away from the edge. "You all right, Miss Hollingberry?" she called, nodding at her and hoping for some kind of thumbs up.

"Sorry, Sarah, what were you saying?" Isabelle had caught the tail end of the question, but could work out the general gist of it. "Water does rot wood after a certain amount of time, but as you say we're not using them for long. If you were you would need to treat them, as muggles do, or place spells on them to make them perfect."

Clapping her hands, Issy stepped forward and waved towards those that were in the tank to get their attention as well. Making sure she was in a place they could all see her, she began to speak. "Now, I know some you would wish to carry on with the current spell, but I'm going to fill you all in on the one for the paddle. It is the coracle spell you will be repeating over and over for the game later, so this is slightly less important for that. But I expect you all to take it just as seriously."

Placing another stick on the ground, Isabelle flexed her arms and pointed her wand at it. "Ta-lea!" She drew a horizontal line in the air, finished with a little loop at the end. The small stick began to stretch in length and width, one end of it becoming broader and flatter than the rest. Once completed a paddle was in it's place. "See? The wand movement is a line and loop, as if you are drawing the shape of a spoon in the air." That made sense right? They could visualise a spoon. Well, as long as they didn't create one.

"If there are no questions, you can go ahead and try this spell too. Or carry on for a while to get your coracle just right." Issy smiled and stowed her wand back in it's holster. She was done with it for now.

OOC: Again, I'll be off to bed soon, so please make sure you read all IC instructions and follow them. Next post in about 15 hours or so.

As she was enjoying her floating in her perfectly made coracle, she heard Professor calling on them. Cassia raised herself fast and go closer until Professor came in view. She watched the new spell taking in the movement and the incantation.

When they Professor was done, Cassia went to get another stick and went to her seat placing the small boat besides her. She wrote the incantation and the description of the movement. Putting aside the parchment she placed the stick down and took her wand out.

Like always, she wanted to practice speaking the incantation first. She cleared her throat and said," Talea." No Professor said it differently, she thought."Taa-lea" She said, "Ta-lea…" She repeated. Satisfied with her short experience she took her wand to train on the movement.

A line and a loop, ignoring the spoon thing because that will probably distract Cassia. She waved her wand in a straight line, "A line…." She made a curve then ,"And a loop.." Enough training she thought. Time for the real thing.

Standing straight she pointed her wand and made a line and a curve, "Ta-lea!" Nothing! Either she wasn't concentrating or the curve was exaggerated a bit. Pointing her wand again and drawing a line and then a loop, "Ta-lea!" And her it was a nice convenient paddle. She grinned at her paddle and bent down to check it out.
