OOOOH SPARKLES! Norah stared up at the shimmering blue remains of the first shield and allowed herself a twirl or four in her excitement. She turned back to the second, smaller shield and pointed her wand at it. "Reducto!" she exclaimed, giving her wand a sharp flick. She flicked it back in the v-shaped motion, but her eyes had wandered again to the traces of blue shimmery sparks. She looked back at her wand when she realized nothing had happened. Stupid sparks, ruining her concentration with their darn PRETTINESS. Hmph. Norah have her head a small shake and focused sternly on the shield. Screwing up her face in concentration, she gave her wand two more decisive flicks and yelled, ”REDUCTO" in a voice imitating her mother's when Norah had forgotten to brush her hair yet again. A jet of light shot from her wand and hit the shimmering shield. YEAH!
