And now it was time to practice. Janelle stood up, as instructed and gave her muscles a little stretch. Feeling loose and ready to go, she moved her bag out of the way. First though, she had some additional information to write down. Of course she needed the incantation and wand movement for the record. Once done, Janelle decided to practice the incantation a few times. "Fee-AHN-Toe Dyou-Ree, Fee-AHN-Toe Dyou-ree, Fianto Duri", she said softly to herself. Since the wand movement was a simple point, there was no need to practice that.

Now it was time to put the practice to use. Janelle was ready to start with the Shield Charm. That was something she could do in her sleep. Well maybe not in her sleep, but she was pretty confident about her ability to perform that spell. Wand at the ready, she made the required movement and said, "Protego". With her Shield in place, Janelle focused on maintaining her concentration. Now she had to multitask. With a quick point of the wand, she added, "Fianto Duri". Janelle saw her Shield turn bluish white, as the professor had described. She'd done it! Whether it was effective or not was another story entirely. Janelle needed someone to help test her shield. "Finite", she said, to end the spells. She could use the practice, so she'd need to try again. First, she looked around for someone she might partner up with so they could test each other's shields.

It seemed as if most students were busy practicing or already had partners. Janelle saw one person who seemed ready for something to be thrown at their shield. Shrugging her shoulders, she thought, why not? Janelle walked over to the Head Girl and made her pitch. "Do you need someone to test out your shield? We could take turns testing each others'. All she could do was say no, right?

Now that her shield was a blueish white color Nat figured she might need to throw something at it, but what? Her eyes scanned the area just as she saw movement near her. "Finite" At first not knowing if it was a clumsy first year or not she didn't want them walking into her shield. That would have been disastrous, but soon she realized it was a fellow seventh year.

"Oh hey Janelle." Smiling she nodded, "Sure we can do that. What should we throw at it, though?" Her thoughts went to her bag. "I have some chocolate frogs in my bag we could probably use." Walking over she bent down and pulled a few out. She had plenty so it wasn't a big deal to use them for this. Though would that be considered chocolate abuse?

Looking back at the Ravenclaw she held up the frogs, "Want to do yours first?"
