Picking up the piece of paper she had left on her desk for the demonstration, Isabelle held it in front of her. "Now the paper you have all been given will, hopefully, by the end of the lesson become a brand new picture frame for the photo's you all brought with you." She hadn't just asked them to bring them for her amusement. Although you never knew, some of them might be funny. Issy hadn't actually seen them yet.

Taking her wand out of her pocket again Isabelle placed it against the paper and drew a square around all four sides. With almost a pop the paper changed into a gold picture frame that was slightly ornate. "The incantation is 'Stat-UA HAB-itum' (Statua Habitum)....and you trace a square above the object you are changing. Because this is a new spell you're trying I've given you something square to use, in the paper, but it can work on any object no matter the shape. I'll explain where your photo's come into the practice a little later when you have all got used to the spell. For now you don't need them."

Putting the frame down on her desk, Isabelle spread her arms wide and smiled. "Now I don't want you all to launch into changing things yet, please do refine each element of the spell before you try it for real. And don't be worried if it doesn't work first time. No one is perfect. Just revert it back to it's original state, using 'Reverto', and try again. And please, don't be afraid to ask for help!"




OOC: You can begiiiiiin! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ EVERYTHING ISABELLE HAS ASKED YOU TO DO. No excessive chatter, and please don't blow anything up. lol This is my last post before bed, but Issy will be here the whole time. Remember that.


Zhenya put her wand on the table and practised the incantation out loud. She didn't expect to change the paper into a frame for the first few tries, but she did want a new photo frame by the end of the lesson. She had a photo of herself with her grandparents.

She started saying "Stat-UA HAB-itum" just as the Professor had said. She thought it sounded okay, so she decided that she might give a try at the paper. She held her wand out and drew a square. Of course it might be nice to one day try to do a love heart frame! But she liked square frames more. The paper was merely shrunk to the size of the square she drew. Well, it didn't look like a frame at all. Even though she knew it probably wouldn't work the first time, she still hoped it would. She said "Reverto" and it stretched back to the initial size.She tried again and again and again, until eventually the paper turned brown. Well, that must be a good sign, right?

She tried to think clearly about her intent to transfigure the paper into a frame. She traced a square with her wand, and said "Stat-UA HAB-itum" and it transfigured into a frame! She smiled with delight!
