Positioning himself right behind her, Ethan waited for a moment until the dummy was close enough to blast. “REDUCTO!”

Well?

Time was running, and so the boy decided to capture the dummy which was directly in front of him. Perfect. “Carpe Retractum!” A purple lasso came out of his wand and coiled itself around the dummy’s torso. That should be an easy target now, yeah? Snakes? This one’s ready to be blasted into smithereens!

Sophie still thought those things were way too creepy.

She regained her balance just in time to pass Ethan another look. He'd captured another dummy, which meant that one was ready to be blasted into little bits and pieces. He'd come to her aid, and now it was time for her to come to his. Sophie hurried over and aimed her wand toward the dummy. With a whip of her and to the right then back to the left, she said, "REDUCTO!"

Teamwork looked to be a mighty advantage for this activity. Or perhaps it was the act of using classmates as human shields against the wind and leaves? Whatever the case, the boy's spell hit the dummy square in the chest!

"FIVE POINTS TO SLYTHERIN!"

Although, did they know the tornado was moving closer? The dummy swayed with wind, moving this way and that, despite being captured. Just as the Slytherin cast her spell, the dummy swayed in another direction, clearing it from being harmed.

Oops.

BOO YEAH!! Adi the little puff gave them 5 points. Great job for him. Now onto letting him practice. He knew he needed to use Carpe Retractum and Reducto to blast the dummies. But first he needed to pull one closer to him. He hoped he wouldn't freak out when he saw one. He saw one coming closer to him keeping him in the sights. He got his wand out and said with a whip around his head and said, "CARPE RETRACTUM!" and then the purple rope came out of his wand! He got it closer and then said "FINITE!"

Then when the dummy was about the run away, he got his wand at the ready and with a sideways V wand movement, he said "REDUCTO!" and he hoped he hit it!

As good as an idea as it was, the dummy started to zig-zag around as soon as the purple rope disappeared.

The spell missed it by THAT much!

Trying her best to gain a good shot with all the leaves flying around, she pointed her wand at what she felt was a perfect spot. Timing was everything, and these dummies were moving so fast. At some point she would try to capture one and drag it down, but for the moment she was set on blasting because why not.

When she felt the time was right, she used the Reductor Curse. Fingers crossed she would actually make a hit this time.

Timing certainly was everything. But not this time.

With the force of the wind giving it an extra boost, the dummy sped up just as the spell was cast and...CONNECTED!

"FIVE POINTS FOR HUFFLEPUFF!"

Suddenly, Zander heard a fellow lion calling out for help. This sounded like a job for THE Zander Adair of Gryffindor House! Perfect preparation for the Cold One attack, so just like that he ran towards the first year and held out his wand. OHMYGOSH she had the dummy tied up! HOW!? He couldn't even get that stupid spell right. How'd SHE do it???? Hmph. At least he had tons of practice with "REDUCTO!!!"

That Gryffindor spirit could come in handy, eh?? The spell shot up towards the captures dummy, hitting it square in the chest!

"FIVE POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!"

"Reducto!" His wand flicked sharply to the right, then left, as if he was drawing a sideways V. If that hit a person, would the professor be cross?

Oooh? Hmmm.

"Keep your aim pointed up, Mister Toussaint!" she called out to the Ravenclaw, readying her wand for...another spell.

Taking one more glance around the action going on, she waved her wand a few more times again in a not so subtle manner. The wind increased as a group of leaves that were following the tornado's wind current started to circle up into a spiral of their own. What was that??

A SECOND MINI TORNADO??
