They really were going to be animating their little clay figures. At least that made the idea of getting her hands dirty a little better. Her little dragon would be active. It almost made her wish she’d brought her little rock Balerion to school, since then they could entertain each other. She wasn’t planning on messing the spell up, or ending it so her new dragon was just clay again. She’d have to name it. Hmm, she thought, momentarily stalling from practicing the spell and trying to cast it. Maybe it would be better to find out what the dragon was like before she settled on a name. She had a few ideas though. Of course she did. There was also the idea of making more dragons later on. Between this spell and the one Professor Bellaire had taught them, she had plenty of ways to make dragons.

She first jotted down the incantation, along with a few brief notes on the wand movement. There wasn’t anything wrong with using her energy for useful things like spells. It was just other notes she preferred avoiding. Once it was all written down, though, it was time to practice. Practice would make sure she didn’t fail spectacularly, not that she usually did. Not when she wanted the spell to work. Intent was important, and her heart was in when it came to this spell. Even if it was giving the clay dragon a bit of her soul. At least it wasn’t a Horcrux. She wasn’t having to do anything drastic this time, side from yanking her own hair out.

“Piertotum Locomotor Annexus,” she said quietly. “Piertotum Locomotor Annexus.” The pronunciation didn’t seem too difficult, not when they’d already worked on the basic spell. This was just an expansion, and even if her original accent broke through, the basic pronunciation still worked. It sounded the same. That meant she should be fine, as long as she visualized the spell working. A point and flourish hardly needed true practice. It wasn’t like there was any complicated movement involved. She still did a couple wordless point-and-flicks just to cover her bases anyway. She’d have to combine the two next, and focus on her dragon coming to life. Not a desk or whatever else the others were accidentally casting the spell on.
