You didn't have to ask AJ twice to get out of her seat. Nope. She practically leapt to her feet once the professor had said the magic words. The chairs and desk being banished was exciting. It was about to get physical. Balls! Did that mean dodge ball? AJ was SO good at that. She could take some people OUT! Only... no, that wasn't it. Bummer.

Full attention was on the professor as she discussed what they were to do. Got it. Gryffindor was about to win this thing. They had already proved in Astronomy that they were a good team. Watch out, other houses.

Intent was needed. Well, AJ was NEVER lacking in that department. It was so hard to keep from bouncing up and down in excitement while she waited for the professor to give them the go ahead.

FINALLY!

Go time. AJ wasted no time. She thought of nothing but the ball going into the bin. With a sweep of her wand she cried out "Depulso." A red ball was in her house bin. WOOT!
