All around her she could hear the explosions going off and vaguely a few dummies slowing down in their tracks but they weren't necessarily her house doing it, you know?

Over the howling wind brought with the tornado she heard Zander yelling about finishing off a dummy? She was born for that job! Really she was born for any job that involved explosions depending on who you chose to ask. This right here, regardless of the wind speed, shouldn't have been too hard. The thing was already much slower than it'd been a moment ago.

Lex slipped in next to Zander, figuring she could get a better angle from where he stood. "Reducto!!!"

Hopefully this freak storm tornado hadn't thrown her aim.

Moving in closer to the target gave a better chance of hitting it, no?

Well it certainly worked this time around. In a matter of seconds, the spell connected with the dummy!

"FIVE POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!"

Why hadn't they leaned a tornado spell?!

She finally managed to get back on her feet just in time to see Beverly Wayne rope in a dummy. Sophie also needed to help Ethan, but Beverly needed help, too. There were dummies everywhere!

"REDUCTO!" she said, focusing on blasting the dummy to pieces. She whipped her wand to the right then to the left. Would it work?

"Reducto!"

Might as well. She was holding it in place.

It was as good as spell as any to connect with the dummy, however, a second spell zoomed forth just in time to collide with the first, leaving the dummy free to be targeted by anyone else.

Where did THAT come from?

She moved behind Ethan and aimed her wand at the dummy he'd roped in. This was her second time casting on it, so maybe it would work this time.

"REDUCTO!" she called out again. She flicked her wand to the right then to the left. Teamwork. They had this. They could do this.

Second time the charm? Or was the wind going to move the dummy just in the knick of time?

Perhaps a pile of leaves could fly in front of the spell? Perhaps...

Perhaps it was a combination of both. With the tornadoes moving, a gust of wind brought a large load of leaves into the area, brushing in front of the dummy. As perfect of a hit as it would've been, it connected with a group of floating plant life, bursting them into smaller pieces.

“REDUCTO!” Angel had no idea if the spell worked but well she didn't really care at the minute she was watching the tornado at work, it was so cool.

Concentration was indeed needed to cast a spell. Though while the spell worked...

It fizzled out before it could connect with anything.

With her wand at the ready, the snake fixed her eyes on one of the dummies not far away from her. She made sure she wasn't going to go soaring up in the air neither will her hand shake much then she shouted, "Reducto!" Here's to hoping that worked.

No leaves were in the way this time around, however, the wind increased the zig-zag motion of the dummy had it moving out of the way far before the spell had come near it.

Perhaps it was better to...

Did the students know that...

Maybe they should look at...

The tornado switched directions, moving towards the slytherins. On purpose? Nooo, it was a force of nature doing it's natural nature thing. Though the sudden turn of wind current had the dummy blowing out of the way of the oncoming spell.

So so close!

A strong spell for a strong first year!

Though not strong enough for this dummy. It zig-zagged around the spell, randomly moving in closer to the tornado.

Oh dear, was the wind and leaves starting to get in the way of things? There were far less hits than just a minute ago. Speaking of numbers..."There are only a few targets left!" she called, trying to get her voice over the wind and shouting of spells. Hopefully they heard her? Either way, they'd know when the activity would end.

Should she add in another tornado?
