Ella grabbed the top of her foot and teetered a bit. So I should probably practice this stuff before next class... When she felt like she was balanced, she thought about the question. She had read something about this in her DADA textbook. "Professor, a hex is a spell that is a step up from a jinx. What I mean is that it causes more damage than a jinx does." She tried to think of an example of a hex but couldn't think of one. She waited for her classmates to provide some and made a mental note to listen closely to their answers.
