Woooooooah. Norah watched with wide eyes as the big forts were created. How did professors even know all the spells to do these things? She'd been here for over four entire years and they'd never learned to make forts like that. It was a shame, really. She and Hayden could've made all the cool pillow forts in their dormitory if the professors had bothered to teach that one. With a salute in Oliver's direction, she picked up her bag and stationed herself near the yellow fort with her wand raised. DEFENSE TIME. Oh yeah.
She paused to watch the others casting their spells. They all seemed to remember the wand movement she'd forgotten. With her wand aimed at the floor, she tried out the movements once or twice until she had them all down pat. Alrighty. It was showtime. But before she could look up properly, she was stumbling sideways as if shoved by some invisible force. Uh. What? Norah's eyes snapped back to front, but all there was was the back of a dummy moving away from her. Okay then. That was weird. With a little shake of her head, she positioned herself in a defensive stance and scanned the space in front of the yellow fort.
When a dummy approached her from the left, and before it could raise its wand she cast, "Expelliarmus!" And nothing happened. A few sparks flew from the end of its wand and she stumbled backwards a few steps as if pushed over. Um. Excuse YOU, dummy. That wasn't very nice. She took a step forward and cast "Expelliarmus!"with more force this time, watching triumphantly as the dummy's wand was sent spinning backwards. Take THAT. That's what you got when you were rude like that.
