Lily twisted her wand around in her hand as she watched Violet think about whether she wanted to go first or not. "Ok, I can go first but I have never performed either spell so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work." Lily took a deep breath and got herself into a fairly ready position. She gripped her wand, made a small d shaped motion as she said, "Expelliarmus!" forcefully. A little quiver of light shot out of the end of her wand but didn't do anything. Sighing, Lily get ready again focusing harder on what she had to do. "Expelliarmus!" This time the beam of light was stronger as it headed towards the other Ravenclaw, but it definitly didn't seem like enough to knock a wand out of someone's hand, maybe not even move it. "Did you want to try now? and we can switch back and forth so that we both get a chance to try it..." Lily asked, getting out of the attacking stance.
