Okay! His name was Heath. Noah grinned - actually- grinned. It kinda felt weird to smile like that but... it was nice. “Gotcha.” he had said before readying the spell.

Aaaand his spell had worked!! Success. Maybe next time he ought to try it nonverbally like his mate, Minjae? He quickly ended the spell, letting go of Heath, before lowering his wand. It was only fair to give him the chance to do it too. “Alright.... You’re turn!” he said with a nod and waited to be frozen.


Before he knew it, the practice portion of class had ended and their Professor was moving them into the activity. Freeze tag? This sounded like fun. Noah was about to just jump into the game and start playing; however, he overheard Minjae’s question too.... Which made him curious to hear how the Professor would reply. Non-verbal spells would be a good advantage.....

Noah eyed the options. Purple or orange. Purple.... was a favourite colour of his..... But orange... Orange was his little sister’s. He fished out an orange headband, selecting that before turning over to see which team Heath was joining.
Heath had no idea how long he remained frozen in place until Noah undid the spell. It felt like forever, but it couldn’t have possibly been longer than a few minutes. He blinked, wiggling his wrists just a bit to make sure the spell had worn off completely. Everything still able to move? Yeah, good. “Nice job,” he said with an encouraging nod. “Ready?” He gave Noah a few seconds to prepare, but just as he raised his wand to cast Immobulus, time ran out. Darn! He was sure he could’ve done the spell properly if only he had a few more seconds.


At least the freeze tag game would give him more opportunity to practice, though he could’ve done without the competition aspect. Seriously, why did the professor have to turn everything into a competition? Wasn’t there enough division in the school already?

Making a mental note of the game rules, Heath went to the front to retrieve his sweatband. He had no emotional attachment to either color, so he chose an orange one at random. A quick glance around told him that Noah was on the same team, He nodded, holding up his armband as if to say, Hello, Teammate. But there wasn’t much time for pleasantries, The game was starting.

Oh, they were allowed to use nonverbals? Heath was going to try that. If he ever needed to use this spell against an enemy, he wouldn’t want to tip them off by saying the spell out loud, and it’s not like he got much practice with nonverbals anymore. His dark eyes scanned the room for purple sweatbands, and he spotted a younger Gryffindor (Apollo). Aiming his wand, he cast a nonverbal Immobulus and hoped for the best.
