When one of Austin's spells actually hit her, he was more than a little proud. It seemed like she was invincible, since none of his spells hit. Well, there was the toenail growth hex, which seemed to work. She was moving slower, which was a good thing for him, since she dodged most of his spells. Now was his time to strike.

The pain in his mouth was a constant reminder not to get hit again. It may not have been the most realistic of orders, but it did keep him on his toes. Even if they were the most vulnerable part on him. If he made it through this, he'd have to remember not to go barefoot.

When Hady finally sent her spells, he was ready for them. He casted a quick and silent Protego thanking Merlin's Great Beard that it didn't hit. He knew of the stinging hex and the last thing he wanted right now was to have giant welts. But that wasn't the end of it, oh no. And Austin knew that. He knew that this whole time, his Slytherin friend had doubled up on her spells. So, as soon as the first spell hit his protection charm, he rolled off to his left, his feet barely missing the spell. Too close he thought.

Austin wanted to try different hexes, more difficult ones. Anything that could cause Hady to slow down even more. It seemed that the slower she was, the easier she was to hit. The only downside to that was that when he opened his mouth to talk, the mix of large teeth, and pain from them still growing made him wince. For now, he'd have to stick with nonverbal. Since the pus-squirting hex worked so well last time (in terms of being casted) he opted for it again. This time, however, he paired it with a different spell, hoping to distract her. Directly after firing a nonverbal Pus-Squirting Hex he followed it up with Steleus. It wasn't strong, by any means. But if it hit, she might be too distracted sneezing to cast any spells.
