You really need to picture in your minds eye the style and length you wish your hair to be. In your case like a clown - although there are MANY different types of clown hair. We'll move on to colours when you have all completed this spell properly."

Removing the hand held mirrors from the other box, Isabelle placed some on the desk and held a few in her hands. "First I would like you all to come and get a mirror, then imagine how you are going to look. Once you are confident you can commence practice."

She was just about to hand over the first mirror when she remembered something. "If you wish to revert back to your ordinary hair, and try more than one style, the counter spell is 'Int-ar-is' - with two taps on your head as you say it, concentrating on what you looked like before. I'll do that for you if you don't feel confident enough to try yourselves."

Scribbling on the board she added the new pieces of information.





OOC: I'm heading to bed now, but Isabelle will always be there watching. Just follow the instructions she's given, and please HAVE FUN! No excessive chatter though, and no bad behaviour. heh. I'll move on to the second spell tomorrow.

Holding her wand to the top of her head again, Issy tapped once and said the spell clearly so they could hear. "Ris-TAR-is!" Her hair changed from it's usual dark brown to a brightish blonde. Similar to the way she had changed it a couple of terms before for the Prefect's tea party. "You have to add extra emphasis on the middle portion of the word for it to work properly.

Smiling, she re-holstered her wand and leant against her desk. "I don't expect you to all turn it red like I did before. I was having fun with that - clown hair can be any colour you like. Whatever you feel fits with your make up and costume. And you CAN do it in pairs if you so wish. Getting a colour wrong is nothing that can't be fixed, unlike length and style change, which is why I wanted you to do that to yourselves."

Isabelle fiddled with her newly blonde hair, before flopping her hands into her lap. "Please begin, and if you need any help at all, just put your hand in the air and call me over."
