"You don't have to use your wand, but you're welcome to attempt some decorating spells, if you'd like." Hadley suggested to the ickle cutie Ravenclaw. "If you'd like to attempt the flashing paint charm, the incantation would be colorus fulgeo blank to blank, where you just fill in the blanks with the colors you want to change. Tap the color you want to change, one complete circle to the right and then one complete circle to the left."
Yup, perfect opportunity for them to practice some charms without any pressure of doing it for a class.
Spike nodded, as he nibbled on his lip. "I'd like to try," he said with a determined nod, curls bouncing on his forehead as his did so. "And it's probably less messy with a wand." Probably. He hadn't tried yet. And he didn't appear to be the most talented wizard when it came to wandwork.
"So, Colorus fulgeo black to green will make it flash from black to green? With the movement?" he questioned, to make sure he'd got it right. He'd heard awful, scary things about what happened when you got the pronounciation wrong. "I'll give it a go."
And with a look of concentration, and moving his wrist in alternating circles to remember the wand motion, Spike returned to his desk to do exactly that. And then he'd think about how to add his special number.
