Thinking back to his own DADA experiences, he wondered what might be the issue. If her spells weren't strong enough, then maybe it wasn't the way she was doing them, but the manner in which they were casted.
"I know when I'm having trouble making a spell work, it's usually because I'm not confident in it. Your wand is a part of you, kind of like a pet." Although pet seemed like a downgrade from what it actually was. "It can tell when you're not feeling like yourself, and your spells will suffer because of it."
At this point, he pulled out his wand from his leg holster. "You need to believe that you can do them. Be confident in yourself, and your abilites." He was way better at giving advice than taking it himself. Austin always had trouble when it came to spells like these. He could do small ones, but anything major was a struggle for him. "Okay, I'm going to try and disarm you, see if you can stop it."
"Expelliarmus!"
Azura listened to Austin as he spoke and she sighed.. That did seem to be her problem, she was always so thrilled when she was able to do a new spell! She needed to be confident in being able to do it before hand!
"I'll keep that in mind. And you are right." She said softly.
"I'm not confident in my spells." Or herself, but that wasn't part of this lesson!
She nodded, her wand could tell when she was off hmm? Well Today wand, we are going to be all right! She smiled as she looked down at it before watching Austin as he pulled out his wand!
Fwoopers! She was going to have to stop Austin's spell!
Her purple eyes went wide, but she remembered what he taught her.
"All right! I will do that!" She hoped at least! She held up her wand, and watched as he cast his spell!!
"Protego! She called out as she held her wand in front of her and Austin's spell bounced right off.. It didn't get reflected back to him, but she didn't care!
"All right! What else you got for me?" She said with a warm smile.
