Did she know that already?

He watched her decimate the dummy, again, and then put it back together. Clever girl. She probably could handle some harder spells. "I'll teach it to you later, ok? It's not hard, although it takes a lot of effort to keep up spell at first. I'm getting better at casting it and then letting them manage themselves." But it was hard. They'd have to work at it.

"Piertotum Locomotor," Mo cast on his dummy, and watched it lumber to its feet and progress on him. Not as good as the one who came after Sophie, since Mo had to switch from controlling the dummy to casting against it. He swished his wand back and forth as he said, "Reducto." The blue light burst from his wand and clipped the top of the dummy's head. He cast again. "Reducto." This time, the spell hit the dummy square in the torso, blowing it backwards and disintegrating it until it was little more than a pile of limbs.
