Jez panicked, pointing her wand at it but unable to say anything.
A stream of violet light sprang from her wand and coiled around the dummy. Jez watched in amazement as the light tightened and the dummy exploded into dust. The light snake back towards her, and she backed away against the weight, not wanting to be its next victim. But as the ribbon of light connected with her wand tip, it vanished.
Jez gasped, unable to process what had happened. That violet light had saved her once before, when she'd been trying to escape form bullies. She'd been five at the time. So this had been a piece of uncontrollable magic, like she'd done when she was little ... She needed to learn that spell for real.
Jez heard the door open, and her head snapped around. She saw Pam there, and a smile spread across her face. "Pam!" she said happily. "Come on in, join the party!" She noticed a dummy trying to sneak towards the door to make an escape attempt, and quickly jumped up and pointed her wand at it. "Everte Statum!" The dummy flew back and away from the door.
Pam jumped in the room, and pulled out her wand. "
Petrificus Totalus!" The dummy's arms were bound to its sides. Next she jumped between her bound dummy and a weight. "
Accio Dummy, Accio Weight!" She ducked to the ground and rolled out of the way. The weight collided with the dummy, knocking it to the ground. "
Wingardium Leviosa! Incendio!" Next the dummy flew into the air and an orange flame engulfed it.
She hoped it impressed them.. She didn't want to seem childish on her first duel in the 'sacred RoR'.
