"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.

Still slightly frustrated that she hadn’t been just as successful at her attempt at the shield charm nonverbally, Brooklyn hadn’t been paying attention to any of the others. Of course, not until she’d happened to glance over at Hady to see her be much more successful at the same thing she had tried. That was irritating, but then she also knew her housemate and friend was possibly nearly at a Ravenclaw level with studying. That was the only thing that kept her from being entirely angry, although it didn’t change that she was disappointed in herself. It was a simple charm, which meant she shouldn’t be struggling with it even if she hadn’t exactly worked much with nonverbals before now.

However, in the not paying attention, she had also neglected to realize that someone had been watching her. Until they had suddenly inched closer, threatening to invade her personal space even. The thing that saved the boy was that she recognized him as a Slytherin, and also one of the few who had helped protect their castle in the lesson a few terms back. “I did,” she said simply. If he wasn’t going to comment on what she still continued to feel was a failure, she wasn’t going to either.
