"I'm sorry, Tessa. I haven't yet transformed my vine yet. Do you mind waiting a few minutes while I get the spell working on mine?" Sander requested of Tessa before turning to look down at the vine lying on the ground in front of him.
He first pictured the image of a rope in his mind, before glancing over at Tessa who was waiting patiently for him to cast his spell. Quickly pointing his wand at the vine, Sander said, "Vinea Funiculus!" He watched as the vine wriggled and twisted...and transformed into a piece of twine!!
Frustrated with himself, Sander pointed his wand down at the twine and reverted it back to its original form, saying the incantation, "Reverto." Then he looked over at Tessa and raised a hand with one finger up indicating that he would join her soon.
'Okay Sander you need to concentrate. You need to stop allowing Tessa to distract you like that. Concentrate on the assignment you're supposed to complete,' Sander chided himself.
Sander closed his eyes, and cleared his mind of all thoughts, including Tessa, from his mind. He pictured the image of a rope in his mind, and concentrating hard on that image, he pointed his wand at the vine and said,"Vinea Funiculus,". Sander watched as the vine straightened and thickened...to form the exact piece of rope he had visualized in his mind.
Smiling back at Tessa, he gave her the thumbs up. "Thanks for being so patient. As for your question, maybe you could drape the rope over that thick branch hanging over the lake there." Sander pointed out the branch to her.
"We could hold onto the ends and swing out over the water." Sander suggested to Tessa.

"I'm going to try something different, Tessa. Here's crossing fingers it will work,"Sander informed Tessa.
Grinning mischievously, he pointed his wand at the vine and said,"Reverto"changing the rope back into a vine. He then picked up the piece of vine, and walked a little distance from Tessa.
"Okay let's see whether this spell works with a moving target," Sander thought to himself. He held up the piece of vine in his hand, tied one end of it to to form a shape of a lasso. Then Sander tossed that end up in the air and began twirling it over his head.
As he twirled, he began picturing the image of the rope tied to look like a lasso. He continued to hold that image in his mind even as he kept a close eye on the vine he was twirling overhead. It was time.
Just as he flung the rounded end of the lasso up towards Tessa, Sander pointed his wand at it and said, "Vinea Funiculus!". He watched as vine changed into a rope lasso and flew over Tessa's head, before falling over her shoulders and landing around her waist.
Sander punched the air in jubilation, before pulling on the end of the rope he was still holding in his hand, tightening the rope around Tessa's waist and pulling her towards him.
"Hi there. You have just been captured," he grinned at her. She nodded reassuringly as Sander told her that he needed a bit more time. It gave her some time to continue practicing, and make sure it would be right every time. She reverted her vine back, and practiced the spell a few more times "Vinea Funiculus!" she murmured, watching the rope transform even quicker than that few times previous. She took the finished rope and pulled on both ends until it was taut, testing its durability. So far so good, but how would it stand up against more weight or pressure?
At Sander's suggestion, her expression became thoughtful. "That's not a bad idea," she said, turning to look over at the lake's edge. She did love to swing- now it was just a matter of finding the right tree and branch to do it from. She barely heard Sander saying that he was going to try something different, just nodded in acknowledgement of his words. She was still thinking of how best to put Sander's idea into action when...
"Hey!" she exclaimed, looking down to suddenly see thick rope suddenly settling around her. She looked up at Sander making a face at him. "So I have," she said, pulling against the rope slightly to test its strength. "And what do you plan on doing with this captive?" she teased with a wide grin.
