be curious, not judgmental

So it WAS Flitwick, that was cool. But the questions the professor posed... WOULD it be as simple to cast then? Soph thought back to last term when the acromantulas had attacked, and... yeah, it wasn't as easy to think. Her mind got a muddled with worry and concern for everyone around and she didn't have time to really THINK about spells, she had to just shoot them off by heart and hope the ones she thought of on instinct would keep her and the ones around her safe. It had been enough, but... she still didn't like it.

The adrenaline had fueled her a bit, sure, but there was definitely a big difference between performing a spell in class versus in a real life-or-death situation.

Glancing up at the board as writing appeared, Soph gave a short nod at the spells on the board. Yes. Those were at least instinctive ones for her, ones she wasn't all that concerned about being able to perform in a tragic situation.

Soph did not prefer to work alone, of course, but as she looked around... people were partnering up left and right, and soon enough, it looked like everyone had a partner or they were already working by themselves. So. Uh. Welp. She was just gonna... do that, too, then. No big deal. She'd just write down her own stuff and keep an eye out for someone who looked a little lost, in case they needed help.

Text Cut: Parchment
Disarming Charm
Incantation: Expelliarmus
Wand movement: Draw your wand going diagonally to the right, then swirl it upward, kind of like a slanted letter 'b' but make more swirls inside the 'b'.

Shield Charm
Incantation: Protego
Wand movement: Wave your wand in an upward, arcing flick. (OOC: Found this in a past class but also found SO MANY OTHERS.)
- There are variations of this charm, like Protego Totalum, Protego Maxima, Protego Horribilis, and Protego Duo.

I think if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.

It was hard to discuss something all by her lonesome and she didn't want to write out a whole big thing, but she'd happily explain more if someone asked her verbally. She had LOTS TO SAY but for the sake of not cramping her hand, she was gonna keep it simple on paper.
