Well Dominic was a bit stunned when the seventh year hadn't blown him out of the waters with her skilled transfiguration work. Unless maybe this wasn't one of her strong subjects either? Regardless, he gave her a polite and encouraging nod, "Next time, you were close," he informed her casually, nodding again when she said it was his turn. Two shots done and they had three total to do for homework... One completely missed the wall and the second came close, but surely this third would be a bulls-eye, right?

Of course right.

One could hope, Dominic decided, as he carefully lined up his gaze perfectly with the middle of the target. There was no way he was going to miss this shot . . . it was like a 99% chance that he would make the shot, but naturally there was still that small 1% that said no. Yet Dominic couldn't help but try to stay with the positive as he gripped his wand loosely and jabbed the wand towards the target - straight ahead - as though poking the little stick right into the center of the bulls-eye. "Shrowan!" The fifth year exclaimed for the last time, as he waited for the result. Except he underestimated the center again and the arrow through straight towards his second arrow, landing itself in almost the exact same spot on the target board. Shrugging, he turned towards Vannah again, "Ah well, better luck next time. Guess archery just isn't my sport. Your turn. Two more chances..." he nodded, waiting for her to finish before he would head back to the common room to write up this report.
