...Or she was going to, until she spotted Cutty. Her arch-enemy.
Soph narrowed her eyes at him, even though he wasn't even looking at her at the moment, and she grunted a little in displeasure. After her conversation with Culloden, she had FULLY convinced herself that Cutty was the one who had cast THIS VERY SPELL at her and froze her solid in potions class. She just KNEW it in her heart, and Soph was not going to turn her back so he could do it again. Nope. She was going to keep him in her sights at ALL times today and wasn't going to give him the opportunity to "miss" and get her again. So she was going to wait until after he successfully froze one of the salamanders before she did hers.
...But he missed, and Soph SQUINTED at him. What was he playing at? Of COURSE he could perform this spell with great accuracy - even in the midst of chaos in potions class, he'd done it so well, hadn't he? Was he feigning innocence? Trying to protect his bum because he knew she was watching her?
Sneaky little spawn of the devil.
Fueled by her anger, Soph grunted again and waited for another salamander to come her way, keeping an eye on Cutty in the meantime - when it did, she whipped her wand in a quick forward slash and cast right at it with a determined, fiery attitude, "Glacius Duo!"
...And the salamander froze. Right on the first try. Take THAT, Mordaunt.
They were staring at one another. Eye to eye. Beast to beast. The salamander and Cutty. Cutty held cold and Slytherin ice prince toward the salamander who seemed to take on a haughty stance on this whole kids throwing spells at him thing.
That was when Cutty reached into his pocket and pulled out a ripe pepper and extended it in offer to the salamander, whose disposition changed almost immediately upon the presence of food. Animals. This was how they worked. As the creature grew near enough to eat the pepper it turned it's large head and took a side bite. Cutty swore it was glowing brighter as it nommed away and began to attract other salamanders. Dark, dark, evil Snow White. Surrounded by black-eyed fire creatures and feeding them from the hand.
He stole a glance over Sophie's way and spoke to her for the first time since Bellaire's Irie Room Do. "
Hey, Brown? D'yer remember the wand motion for Glacius Tria?"
