Salander trots down to his most favorite tree in the whole campus. Today he needed to ask it a favor. Yes ask. Hopefully it wouldnt get more complicated than that.

"Hey yo Willow!" the Slytherin lad calls out, standing a safe distance from the tree. The Willow creaks in branches in reply, or maybe it was more of self-defense. "Wanna play some tennis?" he smirks, playfully toss-catching one of the fuzzy spider dolls he coated with a cushioning charm.

The Willow sways its branches in the air, as if to beckoning him to serve. "Here goes..." he says as he throws the spider toy at the tree. The spider flies through the air towards the Willow, which promptly slaps it back, sending the toy careening towards him....

"Arania Exumai!"

He cast the spell at the incoming toy. It tosses off to the side as the spell made contact. Oh yeah! He's getting pretty good with this now wasnt he?

"How about a few more rounds Willow?" he smirked, levitating a few more spider toys he had, fixating them onto a spot in the air, then swung his wand out like a bat, casting the pushing charm on each of the toy and sending them out towards the Willow.

Several flying fuzzies wouldnt matter much if you were a Tree with plenty of swinging branches, and the Willow swung its branches out on each of the toy, making contact and sending it back down to the pesky Slytherin lad.

Now this is what I'm talking about. the lad mused as he readied himself for the spider-target practice "Arania Exumai!" he cast repeatedly, targeting each of the spider as the came and tossing them aside.

A couple of last toys were still bouncing about the Willow, as if it was juggling them. Then the Willow sent one out in a very sharp angle, the spider falling almost straight down Salander's head.

The Slytherin lad looked up, casting the spell up in the air "Arania Exumai!". But as he was casting his spell, he wasnt aware that the Willow sent the last spider whizzing towards him...

... and promptly hits him smack across the chest.

"Ow!" the lad cried out, backing off a few steps. He glared at the tree, as the Willow creaked its branches, sounding almost as if it was laughing. "Oh I'll get you for that Willow, someday..." he grumbled, collecting the toys and hurrying back towards the castle. He has homework to submit!
