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.

As the answers from everyone started pouring in, her notes started to multiply, one piece of information at a time until she moved on to the next page, and the page behind that. Soon enough, Professor Magnus finished explaining everything and all that was left was the actual spell casting.

Oh dear, Merlin. Here goes nothing.

She watched as Professor Magnus demonstrated the spell, drawing a perfect rectangle with her wand and watched as the piece of paper turned into a picture frame right before her eyes. Oh dear, would she be able to pull that off? Hopefully, she wouldn't set anything on fire or something.

"Stat-UA HAB-itum" She said, it sounded right. She decided to repeat it, you know...just in case. "Stat-UA HAB-itum....Stat-UA HAB-itum"

The Slytherin looked around and watched as the others drew rectangles over their paper while holding it in front of them. Alright, she could do this! The blonde held her paper in front of her and drew a rectangle over it with end of her wand while saying "Statua Habitum!"

But...nothing happened. Well, wasn't that awesome?

She tried again, one more time, twice, thrice...until what seemed like the fifth time, she watched as the paper transformed into a frame...but, it was still paper. Just with a perfectly cut rectangular space in the middle...big enough for her picture. Not bad...not what she had in mind, but not bad.

"Reverto" The fifth year muttered as the paper reverted back to it's previous form. Then she sighed and drew the rectangle over the sheet one more time while saying "Statua Habitum!" concentrating as much as she could. Then, as if by some miracle it had transformed into a frame! Although, it did look kind of square though.

"Professor, my frame looks a bit...square, is that alright?" She asked, oh. She hoped it was fine. It was a rather pretty one and yeah..

Wait, what if she wanted a circular frame? What was she going to do?
