Least it wasn't hornets.

Well, now seemed like a great time to begin. The small smile remaining on the Professor's face before he gestured the entire room. "Excellent, welcome back everyone." Not expecting any returned greetings to it. "As previously discussed, the importance of Defensive magic is preparing and learning how to face and endure a challenge. As I'm sure a number of you have been wondering what we're doing here instead of the real outdoors.." Letting it sink in for a moment. "Given the colder climate of the season, today's challenge would be more accommodating in a sectioned and sunny environment," And it would temper the outside danger factor, ahem.

"What are some of the signs you can pinpoint that would make this forest suspicious? Has there been a time outdoors where you felt something was off?" To start it off. Whether they could answer one or the other or possibly both.

Her face was still burning hot with embarrassment when she returned ther professor's smile. At least Prof Madigan didn't see the butterflies circuling around his head as something worth taking away points for. "Yes, the butterflies liven up the room," Bella murmured in response before retreating to find herself a tree stump to sit on. Why did she have the 'power' to make butterflies appear suddenly? She had to have been pranked right? But by who?

Questions still bubbled around her head as Prof Madigan got the lesson underway. They were inside to accomadate for the colder climate. That was awfully thoughtful of him. Raising her eyes to really look and listen to the forest Bella raised her hand to say thoughtfully "The forest is too quiet. There are no birds chirping, trees russtling or anything. It feels off and eerie even. Also the trees have peculiar spots on them. Does the spots mean that they are marking a trail or is it because they are sick?"


A few minutes later it was revealed that the spots on the trees was for target practice for when they practiced the icy-blue arrow spell Arundo. Getting excited for learning something new Bella sat up straighter on her tree stump and repeated loudly as she practiced the incantation even though it had some resemble to petrificus totalus. It'd be nifty in a sticky situation though. "Ah-rooooooooon-doeeeeeee. Ah-roon-doe. Ah-roooooooooooooooooon-doeeeeeeeeeeechoooo." Ooops! A butterfly had followed her over from Prof Madigan and had now landed on Bella's nose and was making her sneeze. Waving the butterfly away she tried again hoping to not sneeze and cause a new swarm of butterflies to appear on her command. "Ah-roon-doe. Ah-roon-deeee. No it's Ah-roon-doe." Feeling confident that she had got the incantation down she began practicing the wandmovement. It had looked so simple when Professor Madigan did it, but her curved checkmarks looked more like small i's. Waving and waving she finally braved testing it out aming her wand at the ground as she cast "Arundo!". Something bluish arrow-like spluttered out of the tip of her wand, and Bella started to beam with happiness. Maybe she was on the right track?
