Now it was time to work on the Silver Shield spell. Jasmine had her notes up to date and she was ready to go. Deciding to practice the movements first, she took out her wand. Then she did her flick to the right and flick straight down. Yep, it looked like a seven so that would be her reference from now on. Keeping that in mind, Jasmine practiced her "seven" wand movement several more times. It didn't seem too hard to get the hang of it.

Now ready to tackle the incantation, Jasmine took a peek at her notes. "Ar-MON-toe, Ar-MON-toe, Ar-MON-toe, Armanto", she said to herself. After repeating it until she was comfortable with the pronunciation, Jasmine deemed herself ready to try the spell for real. First though, she thought it would be wise to go and watch the Professor's demonstration.
