Simon was ready to put the incantation AND the wand movement together. Three little anti-clockwise circles and the long incantation? How hard could that be? Well the long incantation was a mouthful so pretty hard.

Taking a moment to relax, he pointed his wand at his beloved tree. He slow began to draw circles in the air. With each circle he drew, he spoke one word, "Parveus Minori Minimus." The tree slowly began to shrink. Then the spell picked up speed. The branches rushed towards the middle of the middle and then the tree grew shorter and shorter. Simon panicked for a minute, wondering if his tree was actually going to stop shrinking at the right time. Before he knew it, he had a nice adorable little tree sitting in front of him.

Perfect.

A smile played on his lips as he admired his work.
