Was that supposed to be a jab at her? "I'll show you, Adi." She wasn't a fourth year like him with all those years of experience, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to put forth some extra effort just to show him that she could do it too. Even if she was only a second year.

She laughed. "That was all Benny." It looked like it was an accident, and AJ would never know what he did to get the actual explosion. "You still get cool points." AJ had never managed to get anything to blow up, accident or not. He was giving her his bag. "You don't have to do that." But it was too late, he was already up in search for a new one.

AJ scooted a little closer to Adi so she could try out the spell, and hopefully be out of the line of fire if Benny made things go boom again. Which she totally was for, by the way. "Fingere Elementi." Jab. Nothing. "Distracted," she mumbled. "Fingere Elementi!" More jabbing ensued. It was still a bag of sand. Was this whole spell thing ever going to get better?
