“Colorvaria: simple enough to remember. It is merely the melding of the word ‘colour’ and ‘variance.’ Now the incantation is only half the job.” Here Basil tugged his wand from his inner waistcoat pocket and held out a button in his palm. With an intentional gesture, he demonstrated the wand movement. Once, twice, then the third time: “Colorvaria,” and the thing turned purple in his palm.
“Take the rest of today’s lesson to try your hand with your buttons. I will walk around the room to aid those who may need. When you have managed to change your button to the appropriate house color, you may deposit your assignment on the desk and be excused. Please begin!”
