Bernie had heard a rumor that some adult wizards could do magic without saying any part of the incantation aloud, but she hadn't really paid attention to it until today. When the Headmaster wordlessly sent five shield spells her way, she screeched in alarm and did everything she could just to maintain her protego! protego! PROTEGO! PROTEGO! shield, that is.
Of course, she ran out of shield after the fourth blast, and felt the sizzle of the spell hit her arm. The shield spell had helped a little, at least, but it still stung. "Ouchhh," the second year muttered, rubbing her stinging wand arm with her left hand. It felt like a rug burn, which she hadn't had in years since she wasn't a little kid who rolled around on carpet anymore.
Bernie glared at the Headmaster and moved to turn away from him in a pout, but found herself unable to go anywhere; it was like her feet were stuck in place. "What dumb nonsense is this?" she said LOUDLY, casting finite to her feet so she could stalk off in all her Gryffindor glory. "Why don't you want me to use the shield charm, sir? It's what you taught us."
Was she getting sassy? Maybe a little. But she also wanted him to say SOMETHING in full-on babble so she could see if her spell had worked or not. In the meanwhile... "Expelliarmus! EXPELLIARMUS! EX-PELL-I-ARM-US!" She could do what he did and just send spell after spell his way, even though she wasn't able to do so very sneakily. "Everte Statum!!!!!!"
