Done correctly, the large paper will enclose the photo in the position you want it."
Now, it was getting awfully crowded around her desk.
"You may all return to your seats and give it a go! Remember what I've told you, and please do put your hand up if you need my help with anything."
Going back to her seat, Nora rummaged in her bag for the photo and studied it for a moment. A very young version of herself was smiling back at her while sitting between her parents. She knew it has been taken a long time ago, before the twins were born.
Deciding that it was better to practice before using the photo, she placed the blank piece of paper on the desk and folded another one so it had the size of the photo and placed it in the middle of the frame-to-be. Tracing a square with the tip of her wand on the edge of the paper, she muttered "
Statua Habitum," and watched as it turned into the same frame from earlier, made of paper; not exactly what she was expecting.
Trying to concentrate more, she said "
Reverto" and placed the photo instead of the folded paper, telling herself that she could do it right. She traced another square and repeated "
Statua Habitum," and this time, the paper turned into a pretty dark frame, with glass covering the photo.
She did it!
