 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Henry was fairly eager to practice this new spell, even if his eyes kept drifting towards the box that seemed to have something desperately trying to escape. And of course his attention was drawn to it again when Emmeline magically opened it and he was sure he got a glimpse of something. It was a good thing that he trusted Hirsch to keep them out of real danger because the very nature of the subject certainly had its potential.
Being a NEWT-level student, Henry did intend on trying the spell non-verbally too. He had been getting better at those, though he wasn't sure he could manage the concentration needed while in a full classroom, at least not at first. He headed over to the rocks though as he wanted to get right to it rather than start at the grass first.
Once there, he took a moment to close his eyes and concentrate. It was really difficult to tune out all the voices calling out incantations in the classroom, but he tried some of the techniques he used to focus on nonverbals - not that he'd start out doing those yet. But it might help with the concentration. He spoke the words in his head a few times before opening his eyes and casting the spell onto the ground.
"Irretio!" He pictured the vines as he cast and, while they were not quite as large as he pictured, there were definitely small green shoots sprouting up from the rocks as he flicked upward. Not bad for a first try, he guessed. But they needed to be better before he'd attempt the spell nonverbally and he paused to concentrate again.
