"It was cool," he said, but left it at that.

Okay they were moving on now. Bubble head charm. That wasn't entirely unknown to him. He had looked at it and practiced it a few times but definitely wasn't as confident with it as he was with the shield charm. He'd just been practicing so he could swim under water for long periods of time. He wasn't confident enough to really test it out. This was one thing he was actually looking forward to practicing.

" Viseo Ebullio." He carefully made a circle around his head as she said the incantation. When he was done a bubble did appear around his head. He poked it gently with his wand. It rippled but did not pop. How would he know if it was good enough? He didn't want to find out too late that it was not quite secure.

She hadn’t seen any reason to try to cast the shield charm again. Personally, Brooklyn didn’t like going over things she felt like she failed, although she knew that she wasn’t about to abandon the idea of learning how to cast nonverbals. She just wasn’t going to perform at one person’s request, being in a lesson notwithstanding. It was nothing against the Slytherin boy, she just was frustrated with herself and feeling like she didn’t want to try again. She’d given him a brief half-smile as he’d tried to compliment her failure, though. “Thank you.” She wasn’t completely rude, and he had complimented her…

But then the lesson had continued, and she had turned her attention to the professor as he’d drawn a line separating the two halves of the classroom and then gone on to discuss the bubblehead charm. All things she already knew, and she’d put her things at the front of the classroom. She hadn’t wanted to, but she did. He wasn’t going to lecture her on that, or anything at all apparently. Either way, she was still frustrated that they were learning spells she already knew, and she was fairly sure she’d proven that she knew the bubblehead charm already. Therefore, she decided to try to cast nonverbally again. She could always cast it normally before the activity started.

Moving her wand in a circle around her head, she tried to clear her mind of everything else and concentrated on thinking the incantation. Viseo Ebullio. Like with the shield charm, a bubble appeared around her head, but to her, it didn’t seem quite as strong as it could have been. IT was still there, though.
