"Yes, it's very important that your decision not only be quick, but also be appropriate for the situation. You wouldn't physically hurt someone who is young or frail, even if they're silly enough to raise a wand to you. Five for Ravenclaw." Quote:

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. "And it is our training that makes us wise in that way. Knowing your opponent and knowing what you can and can't do are vital in any situation. You should start doing a self inventory of what you are capable of even now. Five for Gryffindor." Quote:

"You know, my dear," she smiled at the Ravenclaw boy. "I like your answer because you're not afraid to sound as if maybe the best option is to run like the wind. You don't always have to 'win'... sometimes you have to live to see another day. Five for Ravenclaw." Quote:
