Laura looked at the Professor. "Professor I didn't do it on purpose you know, the floor was a bit slippery and I slipped." Laura was trying to be calm what was it her head of house had told her, oh yeah deep breaths.
Laura did her deep breaths and then sat down, she was too scared to practice anymore incase the Professor took more points of her for no reason what so ever.
Something about this child made Isabelle want to sigh very loudly - probably the excuses. But she managed to hold it in. Instead she just gave her a stern look and raise of the eyebrows.
"Laura, you have to remember that spell casting can be a dangerous thing. You need to make sure you are properly prepared before doing anything."
Now she did sigh a little when the girl sat down, seeming intent on not doing anything.
"I don't want to be mean to any of you, but it's my job to make sure you all practice safely. Now, please, just take a few deep breaths, calm yourself, and make sure you are completely ready before trying again. But DO try again. Nobody gets anywhere by giving up." Quote:

She smiled "Reverto" then she looked back to Laura. "Professor would you like me to help Laura?"
Then came a very good suggestion from a fellow Hufflepuff. Looking over at Minerva, Isabelle nodded at her and smiled.
"Please, I think that would be a very nice thing to do. Thank you." Quote:

She twirled her wand between her fingers as she did so. Spotting the Gryffindor Cookie Prefect's melted puddle of something Selena was struck with a thought. "Your thing looks like snot. Would a pygmy puff eat it?" Selena asked with a smile on her face. Because a pygmy puff miiiight. It did look like snot after all. Right. Pygmy puffs and snot. What should Selena's vase look like?
Squeezing her eyes shut, Selena thought hard about what she wanted it to look like. GREEN. A lot of GREEN. And maybe... Slytherin-y? Yup. She opened her eyes and looked at the metal finger cap. Selena performed the wand movement, three turns clockwise going up up and away, and said clearly, "Floreneo."
Selena looked at the vase-- if you could call it a vase, that is. There was a green thingy that somewhat resembled a pygmy puff... except for the hole at the top, which she supposed was where she was supposed to put the flowers. Well... she had made a vase, so that was good enough, right? Selena took her wand and poked it. Ehhhh? It was... gooey? "EEEEWWWWWWWWWH. SNOT VASE."
Kent would love that. What was Selena going to do with a vase made of SNOT?!?!?
Having left Laura to continue practice, under the watchful eye of her friend, Issy carried on her walk around the room - where she came across some very odd shaped vases. None more so than the one the Slytherin prefect had made. Interesting.
"Perhaps you should try NOT thinking about snot so much? Just a suggestion..." Quote:

It was a very complicated task for her and it made her head hurt from concentrating so hard. The professor sent them off to work and Violet kept practicing the wand movement slowly until she was confident that she got it right.
Violet turned towards her thimble and doing exactly what she had been practicing, she pointed her wand down vertically, circled it three times clockwise, and then swished it up wards as if were a little children's fairy wand. The thimble gave a little wobble here and there and Violet smiled as it sproud into a beatuful blue
vase She raised up her hand excitedly,
"Look professor! I did it on my first try!" She beamed up happily at the teacher.
"Very good, Violet! It's very pretty. See if you can try something else different now, eh?" Because Issy wanted them all to be sure of their designs before they put any flowers in them.

Huh? Um... right. Practicing. They were supposed to be practicing. She repeated the word under her breath until she got it right.
Alright. She held her wand directly above her thimble with the wand tip facing down. "Floreneo." she said as she pulled her wand back in progressively larger clockwise spirals.
The thimble grew in front of her. She blinked a few times seeing the final product.
Umm... she can just pretend she wanted a vase like that right?
Reaching over she grabbed a quill and quickly scribbled a note on her parchment.
'Note to self... STOP thinking about Peter Pan. Hmmm, a vase with lips prints all over it. Interesting.
"Valentine's Day is next month, Miss Phillips," Isabelle winked at the girl as she passed. A little gentle teasing never hurt.

Jen thought a minute as she tried to figure out what the professor had said, she couldn't understand her a bit.
"Flereneo!"
The thimble had spun and fell on the floor.
Oh no... Jen thought. She looked on the ground. The thimble was still there un transfusormed.
"Ok, what did i do wrong this time?" Jen said outloud
Picking up the thimble off the floor as she came up to the Slytherin's desk, Issy placed it back down for her.
"It could be because you said 'Flereneo' instead of 'Floreneo'. Take a deep breath and try again." Quote:

He sat there staring at the small metal piece, trying to visualize something far more durable than the first one he conjured up. Finally he mustered up the courage to try again, pointing his wand and twisting his wrist thrice in the upward, clockwise movement
"Floreneo." The thimble swirled in its spot, growing in size until if finally settled to look
like this.
*blink*
Uhm ok.
Vickers reached out and hesitating for a second, took hold of the vase. It was made of hard plastic. Certainly this wouldnt break now... thing is he'd be hard pressed to think of flowers that wouldnt need water either.
O____________o
Well, that wasn't going to hold any water.
Isabelle had done a full circle of the room and was now back near where she'd started. And she was staring at the vase Vickers had just produced.
"It's pretty," she said, nodding her head.
"But, uhhh, the flowers are real, so....Maybe keep trying?"
