Ella looked around as several students had already turned their paper into picture frames. She glanced at the picture she had brought to class with her, it was a family photo. One where her grandfather was still alive. Pops, this one is for you. Ella was determined to get this spell right. First she needed to know how to say it correctly. "Stat-UA HAB-itum...Stat-UA HAB-itum....Stat-UA HAB-itum...Stat-UA HAB-itum!" That last one had sounded the most like the professor's spell so she decided to put it to use. She held her wand and focused on the paper. She slowly traced her square above it and with a wince said "Statua Habitum!"
The paper had moved a little but nothing had changed. "Humph." Ella was disappointed but not discouraged. She looked around. She wasn't the only one struggling and she figured it was normal not to get it on the first try. She smiled at Charlotte who was working next to her and then focused once more on the paper. She took a deep breath and tried again. She traced the square more calmly this time and then in a controlled voice, "Statua Habitum" What was this?! The paper was no longer there and in its place was a lovely picture frame. "Merlin's beard..." Ella whispered. She had done it, she had actually done it.
