"Diutirnus affigo, Diutime - I mean, Diutirnus affigo, Diutirnus affigo," she muttered under her breath several times to get the pronunciation right. Then, she placed her stick upright in the middle of her rock. She pointed her wand at the place where the stick and the rock met, but realised that her other hand was covering it and quickly moved it up. She almost permanently glued her hand to an ugly rock and stick! Relieved that she had avoided the disaster, the first year returned her focus on the spell and said clearly, "Diutirnus affigo." The incantation was followed by a small flick, directed at the point of contact. She could not immediately tell if her attempt was successful, but when she let go of the hand holding the stick, she was surprised but delighted to find that it was firmly attached to the rock.

"Thank you so much! I learned SO MUCH from you today. I'm Jade, by the way," she beamed as she scribbled down her name on the small piece of parchment she cut out earlier from her practice and stuck it onto her sundial. It wasn't a super pretty sundial, but it would do.

Hanna witnessed the younger girl successfully performing another charm, and sticking the two items together to make the sundial. With a wide smile still in place, she gave another "That's awesome! You're a natural Witch." Of course she was, she was at Hogwarts. Although that didn't always mean much.

"Hi Jade, I'm Hanna. I'm glad I could help." Really, she was.

Time to leave, Hanna packed up her bits and pieces and picked up her new sundial. "See you Professor," she said on the way back up to the castle, ready to drop it off in the tower.
