"Cool," he nodded, "and don't worry about it, you'll be fine, if not at least you'll get some practice in." Heh. It would be a win win for the kid.

As Aldous came to a stop, Zeke paused behind him, peering down at his companion and giving him a pat on the shoulder, "Looks good to me," he confirmed, accepting the ball that was offered to him. "You ready?" he asked as he started distancing himself from the first year, taking a few measured paces backward. Banishing the ball would be easy enough, but slowing it before catching it... weeelll... Alders better have good timing.

Zeke slipped his wand out his holster, rolling it around his palm a little as he held the ball out in front of him.

Ready?

Set?

"Depulso!" he recited as he completed a clean sweeping motion with his wand, sending the ball toward his partner swiftly.
See? It was not an issue. He had nothing to be worried about, just needed to chill.

Okay, so here they were! Aldous pulled out his wand and readied himself for the ball to come at him. He got the hang of the spell at class so it shouldn't be a problem casting it now, right? The first-year raised his wand and kept his eyes on the ball. And in a split second it was in midair. Wow, when did THAT happen?

"Aresto Momentum!" He uttered quickly waving his wand at the ball that was now just a couple of feet away from him. Then it fell to the ground. He was going to say that the HE was the one who slowed it down and that it wasn't due to the friction between the ball's surface and the air, aka the natural reason. Ahem. So next time he was just needed to be extra ready to stop it before it got too close to him. Or well, slow it down.

The Ravenclaw nudged the ball sending it back to Zeke. lame. "Here you go," And then he took a couple of steps back to allow himself more distance and time to cast the spell. The ball was light and fast.
