"You want to keep the lines as short and tight as possible. Nothing too over the top here."

"What you will feel with this spell, is as if your legs have been weakened. Perhaps the best example I can give is as if you've ran as far as your legs could take you, but you just can run anymore or stand even. It doesn't hurt, but I will say it is a little uncomfortable. If you collapse, that's fine. Don't worry. It doesn't mean you're suddenly paralyzed for the rest of your life." She momentarily eyed a certain Gryffindor first year for a moment. Mmhmm, keeping low on the dramatics in the lesson would be nice.

"Practice the wand movement and incantation separately, find a partner, and you can begin practicing on each other. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Better to be safe than sorry." And as if the spell wasn't enough for them to concentrate on today, with a flick of her wand, some rather catchy music started to play. "To end this spell, a simple 'Finite' will do."


Once the discussion had turned to spells, and not more abotu hinkypunks specifically, Kendall had simply applied herself to more stretching. She even did a bit of stretching her arms and fingers as they'd been instructed on the specific spells they were going to be working on, just in case. It wasn't anything that really used them, unlike last lesson, but she wanted to be prepared. Lots of wibbly stuff, she thought to herself, watching the demonstration of the wand movement for the first spell. And she bit back a giggle as music suddenly sounded in the classroom, too. Why do we need music if we aren't doing the Dancing Feet spell first?, she wondered, even as she idly started to practice the wand movement for the Jelly-Legs jinx. Eventually, she started amusing herself by performing the movements to the music, but then she stopped for a second or two. Time to practice the actual incantation. "Locomotor Wibbly," she repeated to herself quietly several times, ignoring the people around her who had started to actually practice.

After a few more moments, she looked around again. "Anyone wanna be my partner?, " she said, trying to speak slightly louder than the music. She wasn't going to find anyone to cast the spell on if nobody heard her, of course. But once it had been stated, she just started bouncing around to the beat of the music, occasionally quietly saying the incantation over again in tune. At least she shouldn't have to worry about accidentally casting if she kept her wand down at her side, or not doing the wand movement in any case. Hopefully. She would pretend it had been intentional if she did accidentally cast it, since they were supposed to be practicing anyway.
