First though...she needed a partner. Who though? Probably not anyone that was too much older than her. She didn't want anyone to go easy on her, but she also didn't want to fail miserably because of her miserable spell knowledge. So probably someone around her age, fourth year and below would be good...
Alexa, maybe?
"Oi, Alexa! Wanna be my partner?" she asked, walking over to the second year.
And now came the fun part of the class! The dueling! She was actually pumped for it! Couldn't wait ...to have ....spells hurled at her...
Professor there was gonna be a problem!!!!
She looked around the room and saw her chances growing slimmer and slimmer. These people in the room were all older than her and all knew their spells better than she did. How in Merlin's beard was she supposed to duel any of them??? It just didn't seem fair and it was times like this that
really made her miss her Mama Vivi. Granted the girl probably would have been snatched by some older kid and most likely wouldn't have wanted to duel her anyway for want of an actual challenge but just having her there would have made her feel safer because she
knew she wouldn't stand by and let her get hurt by an idiot.
Sigh.
This wasn't looking good for her. Every time she thought to ask someone she just saw them aiming spells one after the other at her and that didn't seem as fun as it sounded in case anyone was wondering.
She was about to go to the Professor and asked to be allowed to sit on her mat and watch but then she heard Penelope. Lex looked over at her for a moment. Weighing her options...when Penelope beat her...it wouldn't look all that bad...slowly she grinned.
"Sure I'd love to! Let's go over there!" She said, pointing to a somewhat emptier part of the class before heading there herself. Penelope was good and she wasn't an idiot so the chances of something going wrong were severely lessened.
