Em just stood there, biting her lower lip. For some reason, these spells made her a bit nervous. She really liked her hair, and didn't want to mess it up. Plus, she was sure she would get in trouble if her parents saw her with hair that was any color besides her natural red. WIth a frown and a small shoulder shrug, she decided to get to work. "Felintas, Felintas" she muttered to herself several time until she was comfortable saying the incantation. And then tap, tap, tap went her wand on her head.

After a few moments she decided she was ready to attempt the spell, so she thought of a hair style. Since her hair was usually pretty straight, the puff decided to go with girly curly hair. Closing her eyes tight, she concentrated on curls, gave her head a hard tap as she said "Felintas" opening her eyes, she rubbed the spot on her head that she had tapped. It had been way too rough of a tap. Grabbing a mirror, she gasped when she saw her hair. Instead of the soft curls she had been thinking of, a frizzy mess topped her head. Giving her head two much softer taps, she said "Intaris" and her hair went back to normal. LEtting out a sigh of relief, she felt more determined than ever to get the spell right. Thinking again about the curls, She tapped her head lightly while saying the incantation. The girl grinned when she looked in the mirror. The curls were exactly what she had imagined.

Now, on to the color. This she was still incredibly apprehensive about. What if she didn't get her natural color back? Would it stay the color forever? Trying not to think of that, she practiced the incantation for changing the color. "Ristaris, Ristaris",she said again and again, getting the feel of the work. When she was finally ready, she though of her favorite color. Deciding of the proper hue, she closed her eyes and tapped, as she said "Ristaris" quickly checking the mirror, she smiled. Her hair was a curly jade green.

Seeing her success made her wonder about what else she could do with the spell. Could you do something that you would usually have to visit a hairdresser for? "Um, Professor Magnus," she said "Is it possible to only color a portion of the hair? Like do hi-lights, or like a inch wide strip. And does the color have to start at the roots, or could you do something like make a two inch band of color at the ends of the hair?" Because if that were possible, that would be so awesome, even if her hair did stay this green color forever.
