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.
Booyah? Ella GRINNED at that and raised her eyebrows slightly, completely amused. This kid was full of catch-phrases, huh? She'd need to start writing them down.

And then the little guy was pitching her a curve ball and Ella's eyes widened slightly as she waved her wand. Don't get hit in the face. Don't get hit in the face. "Arresto Momentum!" Blink. BEAM! "Yes!" The ball had totally stopped, did he see?

The blonde plucked it out of the air and then approached the second year, offering her fist for a fist-bump. It felt appropriate given the way they'd just finished that homework. "Nice work, Tobias."
