But then, she figured it had been inevitable that they’d have an easy lesson one of these days. Either way, now she was stuck practicing a charm she’d figured she had down ages ago. It was tempting to just remain sitting by the window, but there was still the charms challenge going on and she didn’t want this lesson to affect her standings with that.

Standing up, she let her wand slip into her hand and she readied her grip. She’d practice if she had to. “Protego,” she cast, moving her wand in the familiar movement and ending the spell as soon as the shield appeared. Somehow there had to be a way to make things more difficult, and her conversation with Hugo in the library ages ago came back to her. Nonverbals. That was a challenge. She got ready to cast again and tried to accomplish it nonverbally. A shield still appeared, but it was definitely fainter.

Shield charm? No problem! Olly had practiced that one loads of times with Noelle. He had it down and was not worried at all. He didn't think he had ever in his life felt so confident about his performance in a lesson. It was a nice feeling.

"Protego." He tried it out because that's what they had been told to do. Even though he was pretty confident with his ability to perform the spell it was always good to practice of course. Practice makes perfect and all that. But just doing the spell over and over by himself would be way too boring so he started to look for a partner if that was an option.

Olly watched an older Slytherin girl near him practice the spell as well. He thought about asking her to be partners but was also kind of too intimidated to approach her. But then he saw her do the spell except she hadn't said the incantation. And it looked so cool he wished he could do nonverbals. Olly inched closer to her.

"Did you just do that nonverbally?" He wanted to see her do it again.
