So, Joao got out his wand and practiced the spell nonverbally. Paulie felt his feet lift from the ground and his body begin to float up and up and... okay, now he was getting quite close to the ceiling. And EVEN closer. Silently, he cursed the Slytherin on the ground and scrunched his eyelids closed in preparation for a head on collision with the ceiling. But, it never came. He opened his eyes and looked down at Joao.

"Gee, way to cut it -" ... Close.

The last thing Paulie saw was Joao's head swivel over in the direction of that girl he'd been staring at earlier, then he saw the classroom blur together as he dropped allllll the way down to the cushion. Thank Merlin for that cushion! Thanks to his ungraceful landing, he flustered and flailed his body around as he attempted to stand up. With his hair standing up every which way like a crazy person, he looked at Joao determinedly and grabbed his wand, which was fortunately unbroken from the fall, from his pocket. "My turn, Brazil Nut."

Smirk.

He tried the spell nonverbally as well, but it took Paulie at least five or six tries before it actually worked successfully. After the swish and flick, he kept his wand pointed on Joao as he raised him higher and higher. Now, being a seventh year, Paulie thought it only appropriate that he challenge himself, right? Surely implementing another spell would challenge him a little more..

So, with the traces of a smirk still evident on his lips, he used the locomotor spell to move Joao over some. Now, instead of hovering above his own cushion, the Slytherin hovered high above the cushion that just so happened to be right next to the same girl whom he'd gotten distracted over before, the same one who apparently stole his attention away from Paulie and caused Joao to DROP Paulie.

And then... Paulie seemed to get butterfingers, for he fumbled with his wand, and it fell to the ground. Oooops. This could only mean that Joao would go falling fast, straight down to his new cushion by his lover girl, right?

And that's precisely what happened.

João just rolled his eyes when he pointed out it was his turn. As if it was a challenge or something. The most he could do, he would just let him fall like he did to him. No big deal. He almost wanted to yawn, but that would tempt him to be nastier, plus he wanted to play good with Paulie and all who had so much influence on Louisa. He even managed to look neutral when it took him about twenty hours to cast a simple non-verbal spell. See? He was playing it really nice and friendly. And now, Paulie would just let him fall and it would be alright.

He still had the height issue though, no matter how Paulie lifted him. He didn't like heights. In fact, if it was up to him, he would have all the houses only one-floor. Because then, he would be able to go on the balconies. Or even better, there wouldn't be any balconies and windows to avoid.

Closing his eyes shut when Paulie finally lifted him, he didn't open them while he almost begged that Paulie would be merciful to keep his head clear of the ceiling. His begging was heard alright and he didn't hit somewhere. But--but--was he moving?! He debated whether to open his eyes to see what was going on. He dstinctly heard that the professor only told them to levitate, not bloody move around! His eyes opened wild with terror, and before he could process where he was, he had already hit something in the air and fallen on his back not next to Paulie but next to Sierra.

He was quite lucky he wasn't paralysed or something for falling on his back for so many times in such a short space of time.
