"As long as you make sure you touch only the paper, when performing the wand movement and saying the incantation, the photo will remain perfectly fine." If that's what the child meant. Considering a few of the weird things they'd managed to do earlier, it might not have been.
"Although if any of you are unsure about using your own photo's to start with, you can take an extra piece of paper and fold it up to mimic a picture. Then when you are more confident, switch over to the one you bought with you." Tapping the frame gently to reverse the process, Isabelle picked up the photo and handed it back to Ellie.
"Thank you for that," she smiled.
Stowing her wand again, she put the piece of paper that was once the frame onto a pile, ready for if they didn't yet trust themselves with their own pictures.
"Now, make sure the paper is flat on your desk, and that the photo is placed directly in the middle of it - or the folded paper, depending on which you use first. 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." OOC: Just to clarify: It's the PAPER that expands and turns into the frame, not the photo. You just place that on top of the paper so it ends up in the frame.
Have fun!
Alyssa carefully listened to Professor Magnus' instructions and studied her demonstration before she returned to her desk. She wanted to try out casting the spell on another paper first before actually performing the spell on her own photo, so she pulled out a piece of parchment paper from her bag and folded it to the size of photo she had brought with her. She then took the piece of paper that the Professor had given them earlier and placed it flat on her desk. Then she took the paper that she had folded and placed it directly in the middle of it. Taking out her wand, Alyssa traced the corners of the paper with her wand making a perfect square and said "
Stat-UA HAB-itum". She immediately saw the paper enclose itself round the paper she had folded until it turned into a square picture frame with the folded paper nicely framed inside it. Alyssa smiled. She liked this practical part of the lesson. She then pointed her wand at the picture frame again, and said "
REVERTO" changing the frame back to a piece of paper.
She practiced the spell a couple of times using the folded paper before she felt confident enough to pull out the
photo of herself. She placed the paper flat on the desk and then placed her phot directly in the middle of it. She then picked up her wand and tracing a perfect square on the paper surrounding the picture, Alyssa said,"
Stat-UA HAB-itum". Immediately the piece of paper changed into a beautiful
gold photo frame with her photo securely framed within it. Alyssa liked what she saw and decided to select this as her final product.
