This was going to be fun. Janelle was looking forward to learning the Arresto Momentum Charm. She was a little disappointed that she wouldn't be learning the Banishing Charm too, but oh well. Anxious to get started, she copied down the information about both spells.

Janelle decided to start with the incantation. She repeated it several times, trying to say each word correctly. "A-res-to Mo-men-tum, A-res-to Mo-men-tum, A-res-to Mo-men-tum, Arresto Momentum." The incantation wasn't too hard to pronounce, compared to some of the others that Janelle had learned. She felt pretty comfortable with her performance so she decided to move on to the wand movement.

Janelle gave her wand a wave and then did it again and again. They had been instructed not to cast the charm yet so she couldn't put the two parts together. Janelle tried the incantation several more times and followed up with the wand movement again. She felt ready to try the spell for real so she stood up and pushed her chair into her desk. Now all she had to do was wait for the professor's next instructions.
