It was wicked, what he'd just done... not because he was particularly skilled, but because magic and cleverness had combined into a pretty nifty trick. And he was just going to go ahead and do it again right now...

After putting out the fire that Toby had set. "That's a good one," Mo admired he fire with a nod and a whistle, even as he slid around closer to see just exactly what was on fire. Yeah, just the whole dummy. "Really excellent, actually. D'you mind if I just...? Aguamenti." Mo put out the fire with a stream of water from his wand before turning back to Toby and offering a fistbump.

"Toby the PyroPuff. My hero, mate. Remind me to wear clothes I don't like next time we duel."

Now... one last run with the ball, since Mo had already managed to block it with his shield. He wanted to try ONE MORE THING before he had to run off to work on other homework assignments. What if he cast an Impediment Charm instead of the Shield Charm? What would happen to the ball? Mo glanced at Toby, just to see how he was holding up before resuming his stance and throwing that ball. HARD.

"Impedimenta," Mo cast the spell at the ball that was zipping back toward them. It seemed to freeze there in the air in front of him. Or not freeze, really, since it was still moving very slowly toward him, rolling over and over through the air like it was stuck in a pot of cold honey. Awesome.

"Finite," Mo murmured, reaching out his hand and capturing the ball from the air just as the spell ended. Wow. Just... talk about fun parlor tricks. The real trick would be using these spells as quickly on a real person as on an inanimate ball flying through the air.

"Nice to meet you, Toby. I'll see you next time, okay?" Mo offered a hand to the boy before heading for the door.
Okay, yeah, it was a GOOD job Mo had put out the fire, because Toby actually had no idea how to do any water spell other than that spritz one they'd learnt in Herbology... and that would be very good. He carried on grinning as he watched the flames die, and fistbumped when offered. That was AWESOME. He was GOOD at fire. PyroPuff, YEAH!

He thought about doing the fire again, but he didn't want someone else to have to put it out again, so instead he looked around the duelling arena and watched with fascination some of the spells everyone else was using, making mental notes of a few of them. He was TOTALLY going to do as much research as possible on spells and do a lot better and be a super powerful wizard. One day. First he better get started on the first year spells.

Anyway, what, Mo was leaving? Toby widened his smile again and shook the older boy's hand. "Nice to meet you too! Sure, I'll see you soon."

And then he went back to his bag and books and made some notes in one of them and wrote down a list of spells in the back of one of them. Spells he was going to make his way through. YEP. Then he chucked all his school things back in his bag, made sure he still had his wand, and left to get some dinner.

Leaving the defeated, soggy dummy behind.
