"Your wand motion is off." His tone wasn't chastising, but objective. "It's akin to the top of a flame." Gesturing for her to watch, he demonstrated with his own wand; tracing the curve up into a peak, and then descending on the opposing side.
"Was that sufficient?....Are you comfortable with trying again?"
Wand motion... right... Rowan leaned in to inspect his wand, almost too close, cause it nearly took her eye out when he made it do the shape thing.
"Oh... like this?" She tried to copy him, forming a wobbly version of the flame shape. She hadn't noticed it was slightly off though, so she just decided to try it.
...
Okay... flame shape... sorta... then...
"Incendio." Oh! A little flame! It was only a small amount of fire, but it was enough to start heating the cauldron!! She poked it a bit with her wand until it got a little bigger.
"Thanks, Gabriel! You should totally help me with scourgificate some time cause I can only ever get like one layer of dirt off with it." she said, cleaning her thermometer the muggle way and placing it into the cauldron.
