He stood up and looked around to see if anyone else had done it. He was a bit unsure, "Uh, professor should we say the charm first, then skate or do like we did with the example and go around once then say the charm?" He didn't want to not go around without trying like the activity was supposed to do.

Oh, Master Dooley again with the good questions. Simran loved this inquisitiveness! And also self-preservation that she lacked at his age. "The safest way is to go once or twice around skating first, dear, to gain some momentum and get used to the feeling."

"But the brave of heart may, of course, cast the charm first. It's not dangerous, especially with stabilising charms on the skates."

Otherwise she'd already be on the floor. She cast the orbiting charm on the pole and began to skate around the room. Even the though Analiese was enjoying the skating sensation, her legs still felt like jelly. "Professor, are our legs supposed to feel like jelly?" It was an important question, after all.

Oh goodness, the first of disasters.

"No, dear, not at all until you're tired," she said, skating alongside the girl. "Take the charm off and go around a little to gain some momentum, and I'll place the charm on you myself in a bit, just to be safe."

Maybe this warranted an announcement. CLAP CLAP. Did she have your attention?

"The charm should feel like nothing more than a gentle tug," she said. "If you feel any sort of funny, let me know, and I'll help."
