Another good decision. Tate wanted to comment on that move - it was good sometimes to take the hit in order to get off a hit of your own, and it was obvious that Sable had made the decision to let a spell through on purpose.

But Tate held his tongue, choosing instead to throw up a hasty shield to block the spell Sabel had sent his way. He himself was distracted by how hard and far his spell had sent the boy, and the shield was less than impressive. Tate was forced back a step himself, although he followed it up with an Expelliarmus while the boy was down.
