Pretty soon, she was standing in front of the class with a fully formed bubble around her face.

She pointed her wand toward her face once again and said, "Finite." The bubble burst, and Lexi's face was once again back to its normal appearance.

"Now as you just saw, the charm can be ended by pointing your wand toward your face and using Finite. That's if, of course, you want to end the charm before it wears off," she said. "It's hard to say just how long this charm will stay in place on its own. It depends on the person casting it and their ability to use magic. If you're older and have been studying magic for a while, the charm will stay in place longer. If you haven't been studying magic long at all, your charm will likely disappear a lot sooner."

"You'll know when the charm is starting to wear off when you feel the bubble growing smaller and smaller. At that point, you need to get to safety---whether it be the surface of water or some area that's not polluted with...horrible smells," she continued. "Go ahead and take some time to practice the charm now. Practice it a few times and try ending it yourself and letting it wear off on its own."

OOC: You may go ahead and roleplay your character practicing the charm and trying to get it down pat. I'll leave this open for a while to allow as many people as possible a chance to play. I'm also not entirely sure if a person can talk while the charm is in place, but so we won't have to have a silent lesson with no talking (lol), I'll just teach the lesson as if talking is still an option.

Please remember that this is a more advanced charm, so it's likely it'll take a few tries (if not more) to get it right. During the Triwizard Tournament, Harry himself knew so little about the charm that he had to rely on Dobby (in the book) and Neville (in the film) to help him come up with a way to stay underwater long enough to complete the task.
