Janelle copied down the list of spells from the blackboard. It was always nice to have options in a crazy situation. You never knew when your first choice may not be the best choice. Now she knew which spells they would be working on today. Janelle felt pretty comfortable with her ability to perform Protego, but she was never against a little extra practice. Practice made perfect. Besides, the more you practiced a spell, the more likely muscle memory might take over in a panicked situation. Not that she ever panicked mind you.

Taking out her wand, performed the movement that she knew by heart. "Protego", she said confidently. One area that she could always improve on was her concentration. You had to really focus with this spell or the shield would almost certainly fail you........and that would be very, very bad. Janelle continued to practice the spell, determined to keep going until it was time to move on to the next task.
