"Yeah! Good job Lily!" Then she caught the ball in her hands. It was light weight so it can't be that hard to do the spell right? The second year placed the ball on the ground, then took out her wand to attempt the spell.
She repeated the wand motion in her head while tracing it with her wand in the air.
Swish and flick
swish and flick
Now Violet was ready. Pointing her wand at the ball, she swished and flicked her wand and said in a steady voice, Wingardium Leviosa" The ball didn't budge. Violet sighed and tried again and with the same swish and flick, she said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" The ball rose in the air slowly and Violet concentrated with all her might to guide it back to Lily. Finally, the spell was harder than she thought.
Oooo... it almost looked like the ball sent in Violet's direction was going to hit her on the head. Luckily though, Violet had managed to catch the ball. With that Lily beamed.
"Thanks!" She said somewhat timidly. Hopefully she would be able to do that again when it was her turn.
For now, while Violet got ready, Lily's mind started to wander, causing her to look around and see... well, she wasn't sure what she was seeing. Her eyes popped open, but then were turned away once the professor started yelling. All the redhead knew was to make sure that she didn't get in trouble and loose more points after Ravenclaw had already lost 50 points.
Turning back to Violet, Lily waited for the ball to head over towards her. After a couple of tries on her partner's part, the ball flew over and Lily carefully caught it and placed it on the ground.
"Nice job! Here it comes!!" It was her turn again so she gripped her wand, did the motion and spoke clearly with conviction.
"Wingardium Leviosa!!" The ball shot up and zoomed over towards Violet faster than it had the first time. Lily tried to slow it down and keep it under control, but that wasn't quite working. The ball had a beeline course for Violet and didn't seem to be slowing or moving no matter what Lily did.
"Look out Violet!!!"
