SNORT. "Of course! What kind of weird kid would stand there and let themselves get hit if there was a way to defend themselves?" It was exactly that: weird. Everyone knows that you should at least duck if you can't defend yourself. Or he HOPED everyone knew that. The world would be a much smarter place with these little life lessons, he was sure of it. "We make a good team." Again, true.

She DID notice the vase! YES! "Isn't it just BRILLIANT?" Like something out of the movies. Merlin, he wanted to try it again, but add in a slow motion backwards ducking while he put up the shield charm so that it looked like he was expertly dodging something. Just BRILLIANT. As for whether they could try it on a person, Grayson thought about the idea for a second or so before trning to her and asking, "What? Throw a PERSON and watch them slow down and then stop in midair?" That sounded very VERY cool. And a little dangerous.

PERFECT.

But first, it was Lex's turn. Not to be thrown, of course. No. The Slythein reached into his bag that was sitting somewhere over there and too out......... a book. A boring item but it would have to do. He wasn't THAT good at conjuring cool things just yet. "You ready?" Could she tell he was excited about this? BRING IT.

"Depulso!" And there went the flying book.


"Of course you do." She said with a nod, affirming his liking of her thoughts. "It's what happens when like minded people sneak to the back of a classroom." So she might have liked the way he thought too, she just wouldn't say it. He was a smart cookie though so surely he'd have picked up on that. Why else would she partner with him?

And that right there was her point exactly. No one with half a working brain would stand there and get hit in the face with a vase, especially not with the Hospital Wing being a few floors down. Could be a painful journey there, you know? "We make an excellent team. Should do this more often." Whether she meant breaking rules or partnering up in class was left to him to interpret but she was leaving it at that.

'Sides, much more interesting things happening here, like HELLO frozen vase she'd just vanished. It had happened, it was real and they both saw it. The Gryffindor was half tempted to always carry around the Isa rune in her back pocket but then...it would need to be invoked before use and she doubted her opponent would wait for her to get this done. "A real person. Maybe a Firstie to start on account of them being lighter and all. Shouldn't be too hard to convince 'em. They're easily bribed if you know their calling price." Or knew how to boss 'em right. Dima was easily led whether through promises or threats. Maybe they could use him.

Oh but right now there was a book coming at her. A book of all things. Surely this foreshadowed something and she was meant to stay away from libraries. This would forever be her thought now even as she held the rune and her wand at ready. "Protego!"

The book's speed was immediately cut in half then another half until it was crawling through the air, rotating on it's edges in a spinning motion from the thrust. Lex walked around to get a better look at it even while it came to a hault. "This has to count as a brilliant discovery of sorts, don't you think?" She asked, taking in the frozen pages and all. "And to think this might not have been something the Professor condoned." Pfft. Some things were too epic to pass up.
