So the rebounded spell surprised her. And even though she managed to dodge it at the very last second, the Disarming Charm made contact. She took a few steps back with a squeak of surprise, and her wand flew out of her hand, soaring forward in Josh's general direction.

Josh was really trying not to overthink too much in this situation. Part of him felt like he shouldn't go in for the big moves and let her try a bit. Part of him felt like doing that was just teasing and this obviously was not meant to be a coaching moment. Plus...if he did that he may end up actually losing because of his own confidence or something else and losing to a second year was a little too embarrassing a thought to cope with at the moment.

Though the disarming of her now had not entirely been what he had expected...but he was also a little relieved that it was over and done.

Lunging forward as the wand fell, his Seeker reflexes really came in handy as his fingers coiled around the slender shaft and caught it before it could hit the floor.

So...yay? Sure felt like an empty victory to him.

"You got some quick toes," he smiled over at her, twirling her wand between his fingers.
