She'd been on the right track, great. Of course, Bev had watched her brother use the gripping charm more than once. He even went as far as telling her a professor here at Hogwarts had taught it to him and about a flag game that involved it.

Listening to professor Romanos, Bev thought this spell would be great against Kennedy's silly trick of icing the floor when they raced down the manor halls. Well, if only she could use magic outside of school.

Shrugging the thought off Beverly moved on to the next step. The spell. "Heeen - shuuu." Sounded about right. "Heeenshuuuu." Not bad. "Henshu." More forceful. Yup. That's how it was done.

Beverly repeated it a few more times, feeling more comfortable as she went. As for the wand movement. She tried the twist and horizontal flick several times. Huh. It WAS like a sideways candy cane. All she need was the actual candy cane.

Sweets later, spell now. She pointed at her black Chucks, and for a moment she wished she had worn pants instead of the uniform skirt. Oh well. All she had to do was not fall. GULP.

"Henshu!" She didn't feel anything change, nor a tingle on her feet. Did it work?

Beverly raised her foot, or at least attempted to. It felt as if she'd stepped on gum. That was a good sign. INNER BEAM.
