Janelle was busy taking notes on everything important that her classmates and Professor Draper said. And that was a lot of information. When the professor announced that they were moving on, she was immediately at attention. So they would be working with the Seize and Pull charm. That wouldn't be too bad, at least Janelle hoped that it wouldn't.

Copying down the notes from the board, Janelle felt that she was ready to practice. As always, the first order of business was the incantation. She was pretty consistent in her approach to practicing spells. It had seemed to work well for her so far. "Carpe Retractum, Carpe Retractum, Carpe Retractum", she repeated slowly. It was important to get the feel of the words in on her tongue, as she enunciated each syllable. Once Janelle felt comfortable, she said the incantation at a more normal speed. "Carpe Retractum, Carpe Retractum." Now it was time to practice the wand movement.
