If worse came to worse, she could attempt to shield both of them until they boy got the hang of it, but she didn't know if that was allowed and she was not losing points for anyone.
Her skin was starting to get bruised and very sore. She needed her shield. Now. "Just watch", she said quickly, hoping he would listen. She was being pelted for him, after all. She did the swift upward motion followed by the flick. "Protego" She sighed in relief as the acorns stopped hitting her. Much better.
"Do it just like that. And think of protection and strength."
Ouch. Ouch. OUCH.
Jake stared up at the girl as she let her own sheild down and appeared to become irked by the acorns.
"Urgh!" he yelped, as bazillionth acorn hit him and began to frustrate him.
"Ok..."
Jake held his wand and imitated the movement, saying
"Protego," thinking only of these bloody acorns that obviously hated his shade of skin, and preferred the colour blue, and how much he wanted to be protected from their wraith.
A sheild came up, lasting for about 5 seconds before failing. But it was improvement. Jake grinned at the girl.
"Thank you," he replied, gratefully, readying his wand to try again.
No matter what though, hexes were different than acorns, and that was kinda worrying.
