Lisa would take an okay answer. She nodded in response to Professor Madigan before vowing to herself to come up with the best possible answer for the next question. Yes, she’d manage it.

Arundo, she wrote in her notebook as she listened to the explanation of what the spell could do. Pronounced: Ah-roon-doe (like doe a deer). Lifting her quill just a centimeter off of the page, Lisa listened to him speak. Will send an icy-blue arrow and depending on where it hits the target they will be paralyzed like a body-binding spell (Petrificus Totalus). Won’t leave a wound or serious ailments.

She watched him demonstrate the spell and stopped to write down the movement. Reverse check mark (left to right check mark but start right to left) motion paired with incantation.

Alright. She was ready to try.

Lisa lifted her wand and pointed it at the ground in front of her. She started from the far right at a high point. Then from that point, she took her wand down the slope diagonally (right to left) before it reached the bottom. Then she lifted her wand up on a similar slope directed right to left upwards. She practiced it thrice more just focused on the wand movements until she was satisfied.

Ah-roon-do. No, uh-ROON-DOE. AHH-ROON-DOE. Not quite. Ah-Roon-Doe. Yes. Ah-Roon-Doe. Arundo,” she spoke. With each word, she found herself becoming more and more confident.

Now to try to pair it together. The first attempt, nothing. The second attempt, also nothing. Third and fourth was the same. However, the fifth attempt was very successful. “Arundo,” paired with the checkmark (drawing from right to left) motion aaaand the hint of a faint icy blue arrow tip appeared from her wand.
