Well, she'll have to wait until it was her turn to try it. Or maybe Lex would do it and she'd just watch and learn. The snake did know that the Gryffindor's skills in hexing were more advanced in shielding. Kinda make her glad to be on Lex's good side. Like how the dummy wasn't totally shield from Cassia's hex. But it wasn't bad.
Nodding at her friend, the snake held up her wand and quickly revised what she knew about contego in her mind. Shielding another thing. Pretty much it! When Lex reached three, the snake made a zig-zag motion upward in the air and uttered, "Contego dummy!" Wait did she have to say training dummy? Oh but it worked as the dummy just barely shifted. Though, gotta give it to Lex. She knew how to hex. The blue spark that was shot out of her wand was unmistakable. Was hers too? She forgot to pay attention.
"Let's name the dummy?" Cassia suggested with a smile so out of topic. It just popped in her head you know. How come the poor dummy doesn't get a name.
Though that needed to be thought through, so now she was going to knock it back first. Maybe Lex had suggestions? "Okay now on four and I'll be counting from two," She said with a grin. Last thing you wanted during a duel....or a training-on-dummy session, was for the atmosphere to get monotonous. "Two...Three..." She paused. "FOUR! Flipendo!" She forgot to power up and all that. Maybe next time. But a blue spark still shot out of her wand.
Lex was only a little sore that her shield charm wasn't as perfect as her jinx. Of course she'd come to accept it but that didn't make it any better, now did it. Pffft. Shield charms.To make herself feel better, she would just focus on how brilliantly executed her jinx was. Yup. Easy enough, effortless too. It was one of the first she'd decided that she
had to learn so she did.
She watched, firmly believing that Cassia's shield just now was excellent. It had to be otherwise the dummy would have been knocked over when she cast at it. She was half tempted to just ask that she be the one to cast the jinx and Cassia be the one to work on the shield but she had a feeling they were both meant to do this.
"Naming it for casting purposes? Eh, I dunno. Things always go wrong after I name my homework." She looked to the dummy again. Technically they were meant to be attacking it so what could go wrong outside of it breaking? It fixed itself.
"You can name it if you want but I'll pass on that."
You never know.
She scowled a bit, realizing that it was her turn to cast the shield again. SIGH. Yes, she was ready. Not very convinced, but ready.
"Contego training dummy!" This time the dummy swayed a bit but didn't move from it's current spot. This was better than the last time. Sure. Could it be her turn to cast the jinx nooooow?
"This time I'm not giving you a counting warning. Watch me and cast when you think I'm casting."
She lowered her wand and gave a few counts in her head then suddenly lifted her wand again.
"Flipendo!" Heh, Cassia had better had been prepared for that one. Better than the last if she was being honest.
