"I shall demonstrate them without the aid of Jasper for now, and then draw them on the board for you all to have a visual reference."
Picking up the chalk she drew some lines next to the incantations to signal which way they needed to put their wands.
"As you can see they are fairly simple - but PLEASE just stick to the one I have assigned your age group." Issy looked around at all of them. She knew that a couple of them had tried to do the older students spell in the last lesson, and truthfully she hadn't been happy.
"Now, you do the wand movement and say the incantation afterwards. Those of you in 4th year and above copy me - left to right, from the bottom to the top, in a diagonal line, then straight down. Amp-lus Verm-is Verto. Make sure you say it just like that, or you could eventually have problems when we move on." She wanted to make sure they all got it right.
"Those of you that are 3rd year and younger have the easiest wand movement," Isabelle grinned. Although really they were both quite simple.
"It's a straight line from north to south. And once more, you say the spell after doing the movement - Suc-cur-ro PED-es." "Everyone go ahead and practice that for now, I'll move on to letting you handle the snakes when I feel you are all comfortable with it." OOC: I'm going to bed soon, so for now just practice into thin air, with no snakes. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED TO DO. ONLY PRACTICE THE SPELL FOR YOUR CHARACTERS AGE GROUP. Thank you! And no excessive chatter, if you please, Issy won't be happy about that. ![winking](images/smilies/winking.gif)
Bwah haha! Truth be told, Sierra thought the
older students ended up with the bad end of the deal. Having a
walking stick was much more useful than a blasted worm! They were practically going to be dealing with flobberworms. Sierra just loved when things worked in her favor, and
this was definitely in her favor.
She glanced up at the board as the wand movements were drawn out for them to see. The younger students were meant to have a less difficult spell? Geez. Was the other movement meant to be complicated then? Any easier, and each of them would be a simple
point. Nevertheless, she watched the demonstration and then flicked her own wand out its holster.
Time to practice, then. She pointed her wand straight forward and then moved it from north to south.
"Succurro Pedes!" she said, despite the fact that there was no animal involved and she was basically casting into thin air. She tried it again for good measure. After doing the correct wand movements, she said,
"Succurro Pedes!"
