Ella smiled when the rain clouds were banished, feeling pretty proud for getting that charm down so quickly. Professor Bellaire's expression did make her a bit uneasy, though. It was clear to the third year that the older woman was up to something, something she found amusing. Gripping her wand a little more tightly, the badger raised an eyebrow as those students who didn't feel confident in their work were asked to seek shelter. Hmm...This wasn't good.

Blink.Blink. Hurricane? They were going to have to protect themselves from HURRICANE conditions? Ella frowned, taking particular notice in the sand stinging information that was being shared. She didn't fancy bees and she didn't imagine that the sand stinging just like the buzzing creatures was going to be pleasant. Unfortunately for Ella, her need to test out her abilities was greater than her fear of being stung by some sand. She stayed rooted to her spot, taking a deep breath. She could do this.

Noting that Sophie had also decided to stay and face the elements, Ella smiled at her best friend, giving her a small thumbs up. "We got this, Charms queen." She said quietly, more trying to convince herself of that fact than her friend. They'd be okay, she was sure of it...mostly.
