"Now you all have your thimbles, I'd like you to pay close attention to the wand movement I am about to show you." Rolling her sleeves up, Issy took her wand back out of it's holster and placed her thimble on the front of her desk so they could all see. Although it was more her wand they needed to be keeping an eye on. "You need to point your wand directly downwards, vertical, right near your object. Then do three clockwise circles, moving your wand further away, and upwards, from your thimble with each one, like so..."

Isabelle did just as she had told them, swirling her wand clockwise and inching it away with every circle, almost as if she was flourishing something from the end of it. "Floreneo!" Almost as if it was growing out of the thimble, a red vase spread upwards and stood, complete, when Issy finished moving her wand.

Beaming at them all, she pocketed her wand again and picked up the vase. It was made of rubber, but they didn't know that - so she bounced it on the ground to prove it had worked properly. It came rebounding back up towards her face, and she caught it just before it hit her nose. "There we go. Mine is rubberised, just to show you the sort of thing you can do. Now, those of you with questions, please ask - the rest of you can begin with practice."



OOC: I'm off to bed now. Isabelle will still be there, but I'll reply to questions tomorrow. You may chat with each other about the task, but nothing else please. Have fun!


Ella nodded with a smile when the Professor answered her question. "Okay, thanks Professor." She left two of the thimbles sitting on her desk and placed the rest carefully in one of the pockets in her bag.

She watched with wide eyes as the Professor demonstrated what they were to do, looking away only to add things to her notes. When the Professor's vase was done, Ella nodded approvingly. Not that she needed Ella's approval or anything. It was quite a nice one and Ella hoped hers was nice too. When she threw it towards the floor Ella gasped. Why on earth would the professor ruin her perfectly good vase?! "Oh no!" she said, covering her mouth which was in a wide O shape. Ella was surprised and relieved to see that it hadn't smashed all over the floor and was in fact made of rubber. She couldn't stifle her giggled as she said, "Good one, Professor!" with a smile.

Ella didn't really have any questions so she decided it was time to practice. She pulled out her wand and placed it on her desk next to the thimbles. Then, she decided to practice saying the spell. "Alright...Flor-Flor-what was it again? Oh right, Floreneo!" When she had the word part down, Ella began to practice the wand motion without her wand. She pointed her hand down towards the thimble and practiced making the circular motion away from it. After a few tries without her wand, Ella decided to give it a go and try and change one of her thimbles.
