Come on Atreyu...you can do this, he mumbled to himself as Paulina went to retrieve their ball from where it had gone.
As he awaited the Hufflepuff's next shot, Benny debated moving a little further away, make it interesting. But that meant more he'd have to try for as well so he stayed put for now. He nearly missed the ball this time, but managed to grab a latter hold of it. "That's two..." the seventh year lion absently mused as he prepared himself for another try of his own. Please let him get one. Depulso.
The spell was wordlessly cast...the wand sweeped in the direction of his partner.
Uncertainty existed at first, but as he watched, Benny noticed it was straighter than before. Truer...and closer to Paulina. Closer still as it headed right towards her this time around. Well roughly straight towards her. For a moment Paulina thought that Benny would miss the ball this time, but she was pleased to see him catch it in the end. She gave him another thumbs up. Even though it was the easier of the two tasks, it was still nice to give encouragement.
Now it would be her turn to catch the ball, so Paulina readied herself. Once again she was waiting for the sweeping motion of Benny's wand because otherwise there was no way that she could know when to expect the ball to come towards her. Hopefully this time he would have better success with the spell, because she was sure that he was more than capable after the class activity. That had been an amazing way for everyone to get practice in; she had definitely enjoyed it despite the competition aspect.
This time the ball was straighter, moving in her general direction. It was a bit of a stumble, but Paulina managed to catch the ball at the last moment. Awkward or not, it was definitely an improvement on last time. "Awesome." She prepared herself to send the ball back to him. Depulso, she thought as she made the sweeping motion with her wand. The ball made its way towards Benny. |
