Unlike the Gryffindor in front of him, Mason was not good at holding his poker face so when Noelle got hit by the stinging hex, he grinned. She'll be fine eventually. He was impressed by her shield charm though especially since she managed to send one of his own spells back to him.
Had he been a year younger, he would have gotten hit by surprise but thanks to the IMPS the Ravenclaw had trained hard. Too bad it had all been for nothing as he had been eliminated at the first round. Siiiiiigh. He was still bitter about that. Mason waved his wand and casted a non-verbal
'protego' as well to stop his own hex from hitting him. His shield charm was definitely not as good but it luckily did its work.
Noelle was quick though, it was obvious that she wanted to win too and he appreciated that. There was nothing worse than having an opponent who didn't care if they'd win or lose. The blue light of the immobulus spell flashed towards him and the Ravenclaw jumped to the side and out of the line of ....freezing. HA.
Quickly pointing his wand in her direction, the seventh year casted a silent
'Confundo' her way.
