Demonstrating for them, she created the upward arching flick, before repeating a bit slower so they were able to clearly see it. "This spell requires your concentration to keep up, so if you cast another spell, be aware that your shield vill have been brought down."
"There's also a vay to increase the size of your shield. It requires an extra wand movement. A horizontal line." Creating the upward arching flick with her wand with a nonverbal 'protego', a very light blue shield appeared in front of her, glimmering almost as if trying to falter, though that was far from the case as the color only faded every now and then; results in having the shield look invisible. "And, add the horizontal line..." Demonstrating so, the shield expanded as slowly as her wand movement. "This should only be attempted when you've mastered the shield charm itself. It'd make it that much easier on you."
Letting her shield drop, she continued onto the next spell. "The Disarming charm does in fact have two wand movements. The simple 'point' is quite popular, and there's also the circular motion as some of you mentioned. This circular motion is actually more like a small 'd', with a snap of your wrist at the end." Pointing her wand to the side away from the students, she demonstrated by making a tight circular motion and ending with a small upwards snap at the end, much like the letter 'd'. "I'd like you all to practice the 'd' wand movement for today, which...brings us to our next activity."
"So, stand up if you aren't already, and look for a partner. Preferably someone in the same year as yourself. Ve'll be practicing the disarming spell first, and then the shield charm. Afterwards ve'll be going into a few duels vith these two spells. Let's go. Hop at it."

Oh, this is great, the third year told herself and tried not to roll her eyes. As she looked around, Gwendolyn spotted a few students of her age, but they seemed to have found partners already. It’s going to take forever for me to find someone, she dramatized. ‘Does anyone still need a partner? Third year?’, the Ravenclaw asked and looked around. Worst case- I’ll be stuck with someone from another year… Olivia approached a girl who looked about the same age as her, maybe from another year. " Hello, Need a partner"? she asked.
