Kerry raised her hand, "Well, as you said - it's about thinking and sizing up the situation and the person involved. If it's someone you know is capable of hurting you, you have to do something to defend yourself such as binding them or hexing them. However, if it's someone who just thinks they can take you on, perhaps a simple disarming charm would do. You have to know your enemy and more importantly have confidence in yourself and your own magical abilities. Going around hexing people in defense all the time is not the sign of a wise witch or wizard. A wise witch or wizard knows when to use their magic and what kind to use." Kerry smiled.
