SPOILER!!: Haddie Quote:
Originally Posted by Callie  Haddie grabbed for her quill before she grabbed for her wand, and opened her journal. The ink she dipped her pen in was violet, and glittery. "Clow-sal-tus," she said it out loud as she wrote it down. She didn't need to ask how to spell it, because that, frankly wasn't important. How to say it, phonetically, that's what she needed. She could write that by sounding it out. "Ob-firm-oh." After blowing on the ink to dry it, she began to diagram the hand movements Penny had shown, all the while repeating the incantation. "Clow-sal-tus Ob-firm-o. Clowsaltus Obsfirmo. Obfirmo, obfirmo. Obfirmo. Clowsallus...saltus. Clowsaltus obfirmo." She set her quill down, blew on the ink and repeated the incantation a few more times.
The ink was dry so she closed her journal and repeated the incantation yet a few more times, while pulling her wand out of her sleeve. "This is Kira," the first year told Penelope, showing her the wand for a moment, before practicing. Her wand movements were slow and precise, but even then she'd trip up. Not really getting a pause between the second and last flick, or giving it another short flick instead of a long flick at the end. She seemed to catch those, though, and would do her best to correct them. Every so often, she'd pick up the speed and repeat the process. Whenever she got consistent at the current speed, she'd speed up.
Then after a few minutes, she announced, "I'm going to try it now. Clowsaltus obfirmo, clowsaltus obfirmo, clowsaltus obfirmo." She gave herself a quick refresher of the incantation then aimed her wand that her journal. "Clowsaltus Obfirmo!" It was a bit sloppy over all.
Afterwards she just stared at the book for a moment. Did it work? It'd open for her either way, well, hopefully. She picked up the book and confirmed it still opened for her, then handed it to Penelope. "Okay, try to open it. But don't read anything if it does open."
Haddie's wand was named Kira. Although she had not named her own wand, Penelope did not find this strange. Penelope showed her wand to Haddie. "Mine doesn't have a name. It's 10 3/4 inch hazel with a unicorn hair core." Hopefully Haddie would have enough sense to not touch it without asking. Her wand was known to shock, burn, or turn into sausages the fingers of anyone but Penelope who touched it. In her first few years of using the wand before it was fully bonded with her it had burned her, and even set fire to her robes on its own without her touching it.
Penelope watched as Haddie practiced the spell. Haddie was doing well with the incantation. The wand work was tricky, but Haddie eventually got it. Now Haddie was trying it on the journal. "Don't worry, I won't read anything." Taking the book from Haddie, she tried to open it, and it opened. Of course she didn't read anything inside. Penelope handed the book back to Haddie. "Try again. I'm sure you'll be able to do it." Haddie was only a first year, so it was to be expected that she wouldn't always get a spell to work the first time she tried it.
