Olivia smiled at Professor Hircsh's comment on her response. And then she remained silent, scribbling down notes for the next part of class. Fianto Duri. fee-AHN-toe DYOU-ree? She repeated the word several times in her head, making sure to get the pronunciation correct. It was interesting that the spell gave you a chance to multi-task. So you could use protego and then another spell with this. Intriguing. It would certainly come in handy.
Seeing that other students had already set about practicing. Olivia took at her wand, glancing down at it momentarily. Alright. It was time to cast Protego first. With a deep breath, she calmed her mind (as best as she could because she always had what felt to be a million and one things running through her mind) and spoke with the correct movement, "
Protego!"
Now she needed to find a partner. Her eyes landed on Dora, the girl that she had spoken to on the train. "
Hey Dora! Want to partner up?" she asked, grinning and waving at her fellow housemate. This would be fun!
"
Protego! FIANTO DURI! " she said loudly and clearly as she squinted to see if the shield appeared. Hmmm. Could someone throw something at her?
And that is when she heard Olivia! Letting her Protego shield drop, she turned to smile at the younger girl. "
Hey! Sure we can work together! Hey... do you know how to conjure birds or butterflies? " If not, then paper balls it was.
Hehe.
