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. 
Wait? So they weren't going to do any spells on the photos they had brought? Ness pouted a little so what was the point of bringing the photo, couldn't they just put the photo in the frame once they got back to their dorms. Whatever, it didn't really matter, Nessie put her photo back into her bag and then she took her wand out of her pocket.
She knew she'd mess up already, she wasn't so good with these sort of things.
"'Stat-UA HAB-itum'" she said just practicing the incarnation so she'd get it right, because that was usually where she went wrong. She then practiced the wand movement and she traced a square in the air. With these things it was always good to do one step at a time. She said the incarnation in her head a few more times and then she picked up the paper.
Tracing a sqaure shape over the paper she got began performing the spell.
"'Stat-UA HAB...HA..HA" she said, but got interrupted by a sneeze.
"HACHOO!" She had totally messed up and there was no picture frame, instead the paper shot into the air and came to life. It looked scary, well for a paper that was. She looked at the paper once more and noticed how it had folded itself so it looked like it had a mouth...within a few seconds the paper started opening and closing its mouth as though it wanted to eat her. She stood still for a few seconds, but then she started taking a few steps back.
"Um...somebody help?" she said a little ashamed this was very embarrassing after all.
