The goblet's charmed to refilled itself after several seconds, so you can attempt the charm more than once."
Ah. "Yes," Jared said, half-smiling at Benjamin's question. "We had a water balloon fight in class."
And he had been the final target.
Right, then. "The wand movement is fairly simple. Like this." Jared used his wand to draw the outline of a clockwise circle, and then an anti-clockwise one, in the air. "You'll need an object to cast this charm on. Point your wand at the object to be moulded and trace one clockwise and one anti-clockwise circle."
He summoned a plastic teacup, pointed his wand at it, clockwise circle, anti-clockwise circle, incantation, and the teacup changed shape, now a closed ball.
"Go ahead and give it a try," he said, reverting the ball back to its original shape. That of a teacup.
Making a clockwise circle, then an anti-clockwise one, Benjamin conjured up a ball of water that was the size of his head, as he said, "Mizurus Boru." He saw the tub of water that Jaina and her trainer were working with, and pushed forcefully with his wand pointed at it. The big ball of water flew by the professor and hit the tub so hard, that he actually moved it closer to Jaina. "Wow! Was that good, professor?"
