Well, she didn't think she'd done anything wrong either, so Ruby was in agreement with the headmistress there.

Hmmmm. Defensive spells? Did she need to answer actually though? She put her hand up. "Like... shield spells like Protego, Impiriano, Revertoscutum... a bunch of disillusionment spells...." She shot a little look at the headmistress at that because yeah, "The self armouring spell Loricatus.... ummm... Expelliarmus, Duro, Impedimenta, Immobulus, Petrificus Totalus... others too I guess but like, moooost of the rest that I know are offensive." Should she also mention that she pretty much didn't learn any of them here? Because that was true.

And what. Just because she couldn't read stuff from the textbook or the board, didn't mean she couldn't actually do the spells, it was just that she needed to be shown them, rather than just told to do what was on the board or whatever.
