“No jabs,” Gold said, cheerfully.

Other than that – the little jab – Ellie was doing more than fine. Gold hadn’t expected the first year to get the spell right on the first try, and would seriously have been surprised if she had. But, as Ellie raised her voice, Gold had to smile lightly. The Ravenclaw was such a determined, little person that she made Gold want to hug her, and ruffle her hair.

Or maybe bake her brownies.

Because, you know, she was a good baker.

“Well, will you look at that!” She said, smiling at the shield Ellie had managed to conjure. It was a lovely blue, a pearlish colour. “You deserve a round of applause, Ellie.” Because Gold had learned, long ago, how important encouragement and praise were, to a person’s progress. People who were – are – appreciated and encouraged were far more likely to persist and – or – succeed, than those who weren’t, or aren’t. Encouragement. That was one of the keys, to a job well done.

"Let's give your shield a little test, before we move on," Gold said. "I'm going to count to three, and then I'll send something your way." It was enough to mentally prepare Ellie for something. She didn't have to tell what it would be, right? "If it works alright, it will revert the object to its previous state." Gold gave Ellie a friendly smile. "One, two.... three."

She moved her wand, and four, little birds flew out of it, right at Ellie. Not angry, out-to-eat-you birds, just normal birds. But yes, they were headed straight for Ellie. If all went well - as Gold hoped it would - the Ravenclaw's shield would turn them into eggs.

"Revertoscutum!" she said. She was staring RIGHT in front of her, as if something were actually there. Dumb shield BETTER come, or it'll be hearing from Ellie, and it would NOT want that. Nope. And up came the light blue shield. It was fairly larger than the last, too. That was what made Ellie smile. It was a sufficient enough size to protect her upper torso. But not all her vital parts. Because, frankly, all her parts were vital. And then it faded away. "Revertoscutum!" she said, jabbing her wand a bit. Like she was poking the menacing 'glass' that was 'flying' at her. But nothing happened. Supposing this was because of the frustrated poke she gave, she decided to try again. No jabbing this time. And to calm her slight annoyance, she took a BIG DEEEEEEEEP breath. "Revertoscutum!!" she shouted, louder this time, again. Because that worked. Oh, and with no jabbing. Because that didn't work. And there was a GIANT pearly light blue shield. And it was large enough to cover the length (and width) of her body. Vital parts and everything. HA! She KNEW shouting worked. She found the secret. Beaming she looked back at Gold to see her reaction. Yeah, this was pretty sufficient. Maybe she'd do it one more time, if Gold suggested, but she was eager to move on to the other 'spells' Truebridge had so vaguely mentioned. Best part? No headache! Hehe. “No jabs,” Gold said, cheerfully. Other than that – the little jab – Ellie was doing more than fine.
