Right in front of her (puberty infested?) nose.

She barely had time to relax when a quaffle came whizzing toward her head too! Since this one was just thrown by Adrienne and there wasn't any accompanying spell along with it she just did a stop, drop, and roll move which brought her up to her feet facing her opponent. She reached out and grabbed one of the balls which was still hanging in midair from when she stopped it and threw it at Adrienne. Hard. She expected her friend to stop it of course, but if she didn't she knew that she would feel awful. Especially if it hit her face. That would be a hell of a time in the Hospital Wing for both of them.

She reached for the other ball and chucked that at Adrienne as well before grabbing up the rest of the balls she had brought. She threw those in quick succession at different heights, hoping to confuse her. Common, get at least one hit in! Not a hard hit of course, but Tora was hoping to hit her friend at least once. For being late.

Adrienne glared as Tora just ducked the ball. That was so not what you were supposed to do; they were practising Charms, weren't they? So why not cast a charm? But she supposed she did stop the other two, so it was acceptable. Acceptable as- WHOA, things coming towards her, fast! Reflexively, she just leaned out of the way, but her wand was out now, so she should probably use it.

"Arresto momentum!" she said and the second one slowed in midair. No, that wasn't what she wanted she wanted it to stop- but before she got a chance to try recasting the spell, a small rubber ball hit her on her right shoulder. "OW!" Adrienne exclaimed, her voice coming out embarrassingly high. She opened her mouth to berate Tora about it, but there were more balls flying towards her. "Arresto momentum," she said again, and to her relief the whole group slowed down. Except for one of them, that was thrown after she cast the spell, but thankfully she managed to bat that one off of its course towards her face.

Adrienne simply began hurling them back in Tora's direction, and she got so into it that she actually drop-kicked one of the slow-moving midair balls. Heh. That was fun.
