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."

OOC: The task for now is to look for a partner in your own year, and if that's not possible, than someone close to it. Don't RP practicing the spells yet. We'll get to that next.

Vashti watched as Professor Romanos demonstrated the wand movements for each, though paying particular attention to the added horizontal movement to the Shield Charm and the "d" movement for the Disarming Spell. She was fairly good at the Shield Charm - she'd performed it a few times last year, come to think of it, and it seemed both incidents had something to do with Louisa, funnily enough - but she'd never tried the horizontal movement to expand her shield. Vashti was definitely going to try that today.

First, though, she needed a partner. Looking around, she didn't immediately see Treyen, which was a bit disappointing. What other seventh year could she partner up with...

She sighed as she raised her hand and said, "anyone want to work with me? I'm a Seventh Year." And hopefully she'd get a partner and not look like a total idiot. D:

Oh! There was a girl she recognized from Arithmancy. And she was a seventh year! Excellent! She walked over to the girl.

"I'll work with you," Vashti said, smiling.
