As Professor Romanos explained the next activity, Jasmine thought it was going to be kind of hard. When she created the little tornado, Jasmine wondered how in the world she was going to bring down those dummies. It was total chaos, even by Defense Against the Dark Arts standards. Leaves were blowing everywhere, dummies were flying and spells were being cast in every direction.

Jasmine wasn't sure how she was going to concentrate in all this confusion, but she was going to have to try. She closed her eyes and tried to get her focus. When she opened her eyes, she tried to concentrate on one particular dummy. It was sailing in the air, changing direction every two seconds and the leaves were obscuring her vision. This was going to be like the last class where you had to think ahead and anticipate where the dummy would be when your spell reached it.

Jasmine continued to follow the dummy with her eyes. Deciding to start with the Reductor curse she raised her wand. When she thought the time was right, she made a sideways V with her wand and said, "Reducto". Then Jasmine looked to see whether her spell had reached the target.
