When Jasmine heard the words Zombie Piñata, she couldn't help but cringe. She kept visualizing one of those awful zombies from Peru hanging by a string while a bunch of little kids swung at it with sticks. Not a pretty picture.

Nevertheless Jasmine continued to take notes of the important details mentioned by the Professor and her classmates. She paused to practice the Reductor spell. Taking out her wand, Jasmine first said, "Reducto", several times. That part was easy enough. Then she tackled the wand movement. Jasmine moved her wand to the right and then to the left in a sideways V shape. OK, not bad. Now she just had to put the two together.
