Without giving them anymore warning than that, he began hurling the ping pong balls straight at them. He was going to rather enjoy this.

Ivory had been just about to speak when the attack of the balls commenced, straight at her face!

Catching on right in the mouth with her lips preventing it from choking her at the last minute, she turned her head and dropped it only to be hit on the ear and then everywhere!

Giggling because the whole situation was just ridiculous, she figured now was a good time as any to try out her shield charm before she drowned in them.

Twirling her wand, to make sure her wand grip was still loose but firm, she brought it up in a jerky upwards flick. "Protego!"

A small shield the size of a dinner plate appeared before her and she brought it up to her face to at least block those. Concentrating she tried to expand it but found it wasn't the easiest thing, so she settled for moving the shield to block each ball as it came. Every time a ball would hit it would simply fall to the floor. Although this worked for a bit eventually her shieldbegan to flicker out until once again she was being pelted by them.

Deciding to try for a larger shield now, she concentrated on walls on forcefields, on barriers, on old gladiator shields, and brought her wand in a more fluid upward flick. "Protego!" Smiling enthusiastically, she watched as a larger circle appeared that covered her entire torso and head.

Deciding maybe she'd count now, she stared at the fiery tip of her wand to keep her mind from wandering.
1...2...3...4...5...10...15...17...21...2-

Agh, and it was gone. Who would've thought holding it for a minute would be difficult.Rubbing her forehead after being hit with a well aimed ping pong ball, she tried to even her weight between her two feet, and brought up her wand again.

"Protego!" Hmm...well it seemed slightly bigger...sort of.

1....5....7...9...13...17...30...34..3-Ugh.

Ducking her head as she thought about what she could use to help her, she tried to change her intention. Instead of thinking of walls and barriers she thought about mirrors and reflection as well as deflection.

Mirrors...mirrors...mirrors "Protego!" This time her upward flick was more fluid and confident and although her shield was back to only torso size the pressure on her wand felt more substantial. Her eyes bright she watched as pingpong balls hit her shield only to go speeding back to Sir Lawson.

Unfortunately, it only lasted a few seconds but Ivory smiled widely anyway. Now she had something decent to work with.

Scrunching up her face, she concentrated on making a small shield last longer before moving on to a bigger one.
