Alex was ready to combine the incantation and the wand movement. It was time to see whether or not the charm would work for her. Looking around the room for prospective partners, Alex was a little dismayed to see everyone seemingly partnered already. She supposed that she could just practice on herself, she had a mirror after all. Then she noticed that Sander seemed to be free so she decided to take a shot.

"Hey Sander, have you practiced the spell already?" . Seeing that his wrinkles had lessened, Alex figured that he probably had. " I need a partner. Want to have a go?" She hoped she might be able to at least get one try with him before she had to look for another, more wrinkled partner.
