Isabelle gently took the picture from the Ravenclaw and placed it on top of the paper on her desk. Looking around at the assembled kids, she craned her neck to make sure they all had a good enough view. "Everyone can see, yes? Good. Right. The aim of this is to perform the spell and encase your photo within the frame itself, rather than just make the frame and put the photo in it. This does require the target object to be flat, though."

Smoothing out the paper and picture, Isabelle took her wand out and aimed towards it. "It won't in any way damage the photo, and you can simply revert the frame back to it's previous state to remove it. But it does require ALOT more concentration and focus from you, and your wand needs to be in contact with the paper when doing the square movement."

Another quick look to make sure they were all paying attention, and Isabelle was ready to demonstrate. Touching the paper gently with the tip of her wand, she drew a square around all four edges, while saying the incantation, "Statua Habitum." Almost immediately the paper began to expand upwards and change colour to a goldish hue, similar to the one Issy had produced in her first demonstration. As the edges became about an inch think they started to spread inwards, and glass completely covered the photo. After what was really only a few seconds, but seemed longer, the frame was complete with the picture in the middle.

Picking it up off the desk, Isabelle held it up for them all to see. "There we go. Now, the picture is not a part of the frame, merely the frame grew up around it. Does anyone have any questions before I send you off to practice?"
