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."


Thimble now in her possession, Sierra glanced up toward the professor and watched the demonstration. She regarded the professor's transfiguration with an eyebrow raise then turned away to begin practicing. She placed her thimble on the desk in front of her then got a good grip on her wand. She pointed her wand just as she'd been shown--downwards, vertical, and right near the thimble.

After moving her wand in three clockwise circles that drew her wand further away and upward, she cast. "Flor..." Pause. "Flor..." Dear Merlin! What was the incantation again? Sierra lowered her wand then peered slowly around the classroom. Maybe she could pick up on the incantation from someone else's casting. No way would she ask another student for help...
