He glanced down the hall, watching for any stragglers who might be joining them for a moment. When he saw no one else, he closed the door behind him and turned to the girls. “We may have to move into the hall if more people join us, but we’ll start here,” he said. He took his seat in the large chair behind the desk, gesturing toward the two smaller chairs as an invitation for the girls to sit down.
“Before you can cast Piscifors, you’ll need to fill your fish bowl,” he said, handing each girl a fish bowl. “Unless your intention is to do serious harm to your target, you need to put it in water before casting. Do you two know how to do the Water-Making Spell, Augamenti?” If they did, they were welcome to fill their own fish bowls. Otherwise, he didn’t mind doing it for them.
Dahlia nodded. If they eventually had to move to a larger area to learn the charm, that was fine with her. As long as she got to properly learn the charm she was going to be happy. Without hesitation, she sat down on a chair opposite Carton's larger one.
Taking the fish bowl into her hands, Lia peered inside it. It was empty save for some pebbles at the bottom. Adding some water definitely needed to happen.
"I've been working on it but I haven't quite mastered it yet." Now was as good a time as any to work on it.
Pulling out her wand, Lia pointed the tip of the wand down into the fish bowl. Clearing her mind she tried to visualize water filling the bowl.
"Aguamenti," she cast clearly. Nothing happen. Not wanting to get easily discouraged she tried again, this time with more focus.
"Aguamenti." Sure enough a gentle stream of water flowed from the tip of her wand into the bowl. A light smile formed on her lips. Once the bowl was full with enough water she cast the charm to stop it.
