Setting her quill down, she frowned. She wanted to be the rock climber, but she had yet to practice the spell. Verbally, because she hadn't even considered attempting non-verbals for another year. Not to mention this hex would be fairly difficult given that she was a fourth year and it required enough determination as it was.

Labefactum, Labefactum, she mentally stated, thinking that the pronunciations always sounded better in one's head. That might actually make non-verbals easier, wouldn't it? Jotting that down as a question for Hirsch when the time came, she switched to practicing the wand movement for a moment. Clockwise circular motion with a flick. Not too difficult, Sky decided, figuring it best to now practice the incantation aloud. "Lah beh fact um" Wait, that didn't sound right; the end had a more of a BOOM effect to it. "Lah beh fack TOOM" she said again, carefully enunciating, especially on the last syllable. Made sense, because she wanted there to be a boom impact.

Time to put it to effect. Fetching an averaged sized rock, maybe about the size of a quaffle, Skylar took a deep breath, focusing. "Labehfactum!" she said, careful enunciation, wand encircling the rock clockwise and flicking on it.

Uh, was it beginner's luck? Or just tribute to her skills as a beater? Either way, the rock had a sizable crack in it, right down the middle. Not enough that it broke the rock apart completely, but there was definitely a crack.

Feeling pleased with herself, the fourth year glanced around now for the teams. Huh, four teams? Was that meant to be by houses or did it not matter? Hirsch hadn't exactly specified by houses and usually if it was a house race, well, he'd have said so.... All she knew was that she kind of really wanted to climb the rock. And fall, on purpose, for the thrill of it. Also, how did cracks create footholds? Maybe she should just start working on a particular side ...

"How about you climb, since you're smaller and I didn't wear the shoes for it?" Katy waved her wand at the rock face in front of them, taking in the smooth surface. "I'll start blasting footholds... probably no need to go lower than two feet from the ground, since you can lift your legs that high. Go on, then. Get your helmet."

Was it time for the Slytherins to unite? Snake power and all that? Hmm. Oliver was clearly teaming up with Katy and Skylar. He'd have volunteered to climb but Katy seemed to have quickly delegated that job to Skylar sooo he would help make footholds.

It was probably better this way, they were older and more experienced with magic.. Well, he assumed so but assumptions about people's abilities were often dangerous. Not the point, Lupin. His thoughts often ran off without him.

"So we make the footholds, do we make them while she gears up? Seems dangerous to make them while she's climbing?" He asked Katy but of course if Skylar had ideas he wanted to hear them since she was the one doing the climbing.
