"Okay, as there are no questions just yet, I shall demonstrate the spell." Isabelle moved swiftly in to the back room and came back with an armful of black bags. Yes they would be using them again. But this time, they had been split down the middle to make it easier to wrap them around the legs of the mannequin - which she proceeded to do to one of the ones at the front. Dragging it forward a little, she placed it in a central position so they could all see.
"Now, this spell is VERY similar to the last one, with just a slight change in the first word and the wand movement.... So please pay close attention." flicking out her wand, Issy took a step back and cleared her throat. Pointing it downwards, she flicked up, then down again in an upside down V shape. As she did so she said clearly and concisely
"Summitto Vestis!"
The bag began to elongate and split some more, taking the shape of a pair of
trousers that came down to the mannequins ankles and stopped.
"There we go. I won't say it's simple to accomplish, but there is no reason why you can't all get something of note done in this lesson and your homework later. As you saw the wand movement is like an upside down V, sort of like two legs. It's the same even if you're wanting to make a skirt, by the way. And you need to put emphasis on the last part of each word - 'Summ-ITTO Vest-IS'" It was a lot simpler than it seemed though.
"If you want to go ahead and try it out please do, but if you want to ask me anything first go right ahead. Bags are here and already split down the middle for you to attach them better."
Well he DEFINITELY wasn't going to be making a skirt. So that was quite an easy choice!
I wonder how this will go.. He had really struggled in class for the first version of this spell, but he'd managed it in the homework.
Well, I'll never know unless I try, I suppose.
Leaving his mannequin, he shuffled up to the front to grab his bags. He quickly found two and turned to make his way to his seat. Pao promptly stepped on a bag and lost his footing, falling sideways into the pile of bags with a loud crinkling sound. The Hufflepuff, embarrassed, turned bright red and got up quickly, taking great care as to where he put his feet this time.
He reached his mannequin without further incident. Still embarrassed, he fumbled with the bags far longer than most people needed to get theirs attached.
Great start, Mancini. He'd hoped that his newfound lack of clumsiness in the air would translate back to terra firma.
Well that certainly did not happen.
He grabbed for his wand in his robes and unholstered it. Clearing his throat, he got right to it. "
Summitto Vestis, Summitto Vestis, Summitto Vestis.." he chanted, making sure he had the pronunciation down. Next he practiced the upside down V motion Magnus had demonstrated.
I like this flicking motion much better. It's easier.
Finally he felt confident enough to try the spell for real. With two connected flicks of his wand, he spoke the incantation, "
Summitto Vestis." The black bag began to morph. When it was finished, it had made fitted pants.
But they're definitely still bag material. I forgot to visualize! he thought, smacking his palm to his head. But he wasn't too discouraged. He hadn't honestly expected to get it right the first time, anyways.
