Raising her wand, she said "Protego," though she couldn't hear herself either. Unfortunately, her lack of hearing seemed to have slowed her reaction time, and she was a few seconds too late in casting the shield charm to block the spell completely, although the shield did seem to weaken the spell somewhat. Her wand jerked slightly from her hand, and Silvia quickly tried to grab it as it slipped from her hand, catching it in the tips of her fingers just before it fell to the ground.

Once she had resituated herself, Silvia nodded to Alex to indicate a good try, then prepared to cast the disarming spell herself. Waving her wand and pointing it at Alex, she said "Expelliarmus," feeling as though she were casting the spell nonverbally, even though she technically wasn't.

Alex kept her eyes on her partner. She focused on Silvia's mouth, watching and hoping to read her lips. When Silvia began to say "Expelliarmus", Alex tried to time her reaction just right. She waved her wand and tried to say "Protego", but the timing was off. She was just a little bit late and the spell hit her hand, knocking her wand to the floor.

Just as she bent down to pick up her wand, her hearing suddenly returned. The Professor was telling everyone to stop. "That was really hard", she said to Silvia. "I guess the Professor made her point."
