She gritted her teeth. That salamander was suppose to stay there and freeze. She would have unfroze it eventually. Jeez. What a butt-head.

Being the Wayne she was, Beverly tracked that same salamander, never lifting her gaze from it, and pointed her wand at it again. Her spell had succeeded the first time, it was the salamander who'd ruined it by running off.

Just before she was about to cast, Beverly switched from Glacius to it's sister spell. With a forward slash of her wand, she cast: "Glacius Duo!"

It required more focus, more intent, but she had done well casting it during DADA so she didn't doubt herself. Confidence came in handy when spell casting, her brother had told her that during training this past summer.

The salamander slumped in a heap, its tail being the only thing moving. It twitched, then stopped all at once. She was sure it was still alive, just momentarily knocked out.

She did it!
