"Arresto Momentum!" And with a wave of her wand, the ball had stopped again. BEAM. They were getting much better at this. "Next time a little harder, okay?" She wanted to see if she could do it faster.
And since Toby still wanted to practice, Ella held up the ball just like he had in warning and then threw it in his direction. Mhm, she did.
Almost done!
First homework of the term was D O N E. That felt good. Tobias felt ACCOMPLISHED. Booyah.
Now the pressure (or not pressure but... well... y'know) was off, Tobias felt a lot more confident in casting the spell right. He decided to try and slow the ball instead of stopping it, as that was the one he had a little more trouble doing. He nodded at Ella's request to throw the ball harder next time aaaaaand waited.
Then the ball was all 'rawrrr imma getcha' and Tobias was all
"Arresto Momentum!" and the ball was all *slows down to half speed* and Tobias was all
"Booyah!"
Grinning STILL, Tobias grabbed the ball and looked up at Ella. GRINGRIN. Mini-step back aaaaaaaaaand... he threw the ball at the Quidditch captain with MOAR speed and a bit of a spin.
