OOC for quidditch_captain: Judging by the last line of The1HBIC's post, it looks as if her character has already started learning/practicing non-verbals, so unless I'm mistaken, it seems as if this wasn't her first try at casting non-verbally.

He went even deeper...."I need to summon her wand.....Accio Wand.....I need to summon her wand.....Accio Wand" he thought, squinting and imagine the words running thourhg his mind like the news on a blimp advertisment.

Then with one final thought he open his eyes and imagined so hard that he could swear that he heard his miond audiblly say "Accio Wand!"

He felt a diminshed force leave his wand and thought he saw the girls hand jerk, but it definitly wasn't the full effect. Though, he thought is was good for a first try.

Marie tried to smile at Professor Carlton when she said shewas sorry to hear about her and Carter. "Thanks, hopefully we will be talking again soon," she said. Maybe later she would try to find him so they could try and work things out.

For now though she needed to concentrate on what was going on here, and that was learning non-verbals. She clinbed into the arena with the boy who didn't think he needed to tell her his name... Pfft, she told him hers, the least he could have done was tell her his. Oh well, she will just think of him as the boy without a name. It's not liike she wanted to be friends with him.

The key to non-verbals was concentration and intention. She needed to focus on what she was doing, on what she wanted to happen. She needed to see it happening in her mind. She could do this, she knew she could since she HAD practiced it before. She had vowed to learn non-verbals last term after she got beat by Raiden when he was using them.

Closing her eyes she concentrated on the Imperiano shield. She envisioned the blue aura surrounding her and only her. Nothing was going to get to her right now. 'IMPERIANO!' She thought very loudly in her mind then did the proper wand movement, a tight circular motion, wrist flicking just the slightest bit, all the while concentrating on that blue bubble that would be around her. Opening her eyes she smiled as she seen the shield was there.

'Oh yeah, thank you Raiden for motivating me last term to learn non-verbals', she thought.

If Nymphy had started off with a Blasting Curse or something more sinister than a Summoning Charm, then the shield would prabably have failed. Furthermore, Nymphy thought it was a little unrealistic for the girl to get it on her first try, so he strongly suspected that she wispered the words.....

Anyway, the fact that the shield came up made Nymphy feel better becasue it proably meant that his charm had been sucessfully cast, but merly block by her Aura. Nymphy then look at his professor for further instruction, as far as he could tell, they had both tried their stuff and were now ready for a few tips and what they could do better....


"Very nice job!" Lexi commented, proud to see the excellent attempts made by both Nymphy and Marie. It even looked as if Marie had already started working on her non-verbals. Either that, or she was just really good at this sort of thing. Nympy seemed to be trying really hard to focus on his concentration, too. If he kept practicing, Lexi was sure he'd be able to cast a few non-verbals sometime in the very near future.

"Keep going. Be aware of your surroundings and your opponent, but remember to concentrate on the spell you'd like to cast and what you'd like for it to do," she said. Not wanting to break any concentration Nymphy or Marie may have already started working on, Lexi grew quiet and just stayed off to the side. She watched the two students in anticipation of what would happen next.
