So not wanting to over-think and be the obvious claw that he is. He did the thing with the balloon. Stick the wand in the balloon and hope the spell worked and filled it up. He practice it and did not know if it worked because of previous thoughts. So time to see if it actually works on a balloon. He had faith since he was not doing this non-verbal.

Nigel cast with the flick......Look at that his balloon was filling up like magic. Since that was settled and Nigel did not want to get up. He summoned that thing he needed from Airey's desk. It was a tangled mess, when he caught it. But it was better than getting up to get it and nobody was running around the room to get hit in the face with one.

All that was left was put the balloon in this....or on this. Hwo did this thing work. It looked like you could whip at someone and it would cause some damage.
