Indigo, of course, had not given an answer when asked about defensive spells. But he had been listening to his classmate's answers, thankfully. There had been no repeating from the headmaster. He would have liked to know which were the best answers. If they were going to be expected to fight these creatures, he would have liked to know which of the spells were the best ones to use. A few times the headmaster had mentioned that a spell worked fine when there were only a few red caps but something different would be better for larger groups. But which spells, exactly, were the ones that were better for larger groups? In any case, he hoped that they wouldn't be fighting against a large group of red caps today. Or if they were, there were enough of them that they could probably take them.

Indigo held his wand tightly and glanced around warily as they walked into the forest.
