This can protect the enclosed area from simple spells and, when cast around one's head, allow one to breathe underwater."
"The incantation is Viseo Ebullio, and the wand movement is a counter-clockwise motion around the area you want the bubble to form in. Like this." He traced the wand around his hand, and within moments a bubble had formed around his hand. Jared held it up for the class to see, before making it vanish. "Go ahead and give it a try. If you can already cast the charm verbally -" He suspected a good number of fifth years and above would know how to - "Try casting it nonverbally."
...they weren't through yet?!
Bahhh! Sierra had been so sure they were done after that last question. She'd even shoved her wand back into its holster. She made a slight flick of the wrist and out the wand came. Okay, so what was it again? Bubble-Head Charm. Viseo Ebullio. Counter-clockwise motion. Right.
She swept her wand in a counter-clockwise motion around her face.
"Viseo Ebullio!" A small bubble, about the diameter of her wand, appeared on her nose. It burst on its own a second later. Sierra frowned at her progress.
"Viseo Ebullio!" she said again, making that same counter-clockwise motion.
This went on for a least five more minutes. She'd sweep, she'd say, and then she'd wait. The most a bubble ever lasted was three seconds. She'd have drowned with that amount of progress.
"Viseo Ebullio!" she said, all her intent on a large, sturdy bubble. Her wand swept around her face in a counter-clockwise motion. Then finally, ...a bubble. A good bubble, too. She walked around a little, testing to see if it'd burst. Nope. No bursting.
