Too focused on what she was trying to do, she didn't hear the professor talking to them and was rather confused when Maddie called out the thanks. She briefly wondered if maybe she was just thankful for the protective clothing, but didn't put too much thought into it. "It was kind of cool, huh." She was proud of how well she'd done.

Then Maddie sent another rope of fire her way. It crept closer, and closer, and closer before wrapping around her feet. She stood stone still, not wanting to risk stepping on the fire or getting tangled up, but Maddie's control was amazing and it didn't touch her at all. "Wow! That was fantastic!"

She was up again. Her wand was out and her mind was focused. Her goal was to get the fire to Maddie. "Ignisio Funem!" she commanded forcefully, willing with all her mind and body the fire from the tip of her wand. It started out slowly, pouring down towards the ground, before snaking its way towards Maddie's feet. It kept up the slow and steady pace until it was within inches of her friends feet. Unsure if she would be able to wrap the fire around her and not cause injury, she stopped the rope of fire where it was. "It made it all the way! Not quite as good as yours, but it's getting so much better!"
