Bella walked into the home work class room and soon there was a loud 'BANG' as soon as she opened the door.Bella almost had a rude awakening.her wand was out immedeatly and then there she saw Cornix Pixies
"devils," she murmured and stepped in ducking a huge 3rd grade Care of Magical Creatures book.the entire room was in a mess.she was almost running here and there to first locate the cage where she had keep the pixies away after she is done her work with them.she spotted a huge cage at the other end of the room.
"quite a challenge,"Bella said to herself and just then a Pixie emptied an ink bottle over her
"eekes,you foul,devil i will take care of you,EXPILLARMUS" Bella cried making the pixie fly off in air and fall on the ground with a thud.the rest of the pixie siblings didnt like their brother being hurt so they continously were throwing random things at Bella.
"this is hell," she said to herself and ducked behind a statue"PETRIFUS TOTALUS" and she saw one of the pixies going rigid and falling on the floor.it was like the more pixies were falling on the ground the more their siblings were becoming ferocius.2 of the pixies almost picked her up by her robes and had left the ground and were hovering.she was too shocked to realise where she was heading.she tried to come off there grip and fell hard on the ground on her back. the other pixies were onto her."LOCOMOTOR MORTIS"
"EXPELLIARMUS"
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS" she kept on the mantra for quiet sometime.few of them hit the target,the devils while the rest missed them. it was quite a hardwork but Bella was upto it. she ran around the room hit spells on the devils.Bella's robes were tattered,scratches on her arms and legs caused by the pixies,her braided hair out of place sticking from here and there powdered with chalk powder and ink on her robes. she was a sight.after what seemed like an hour or so Bella was sitting behind the teacher's table with her back against the wall and staring at the table ahead of her. she still had few pixies to finsih off with. her wand was out she sensed a sudden movement of the table.she realised that the cornixes were pushing the table towards her and then"EXPELLIARMUS" and the table backed out with huge force taking the pixies along with it which were shocked by the sudden force of the table against them and were pushed against the wall on the other end of the class.Bella got up immedatly and was pleased by the result. then as she turned to her right there was another one ready to attack her with chalk boxes but before it could throw all those things on Bella"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS" and the pixie had a full-fledged body bind curse and fell with huge thud.the chalk pieces fell of the box but the box was stuck in the hands of the pixie.another pixie to Bella's left flew towards her in full force but then"LOCOMTOR MORTIS" and unexpectedly the wings of the pixie snapped together and the pixie fell down going out off balance. Bella was surprised by the effect all this while she had tried that only on legs didnt have an idea that it could happen on wings too. the pixies which got pressed behind the table slowly came out from behind the table but somehow but as soon as she saw them Bella shot the body bind curse on them and that was the end of the story. Bella looked around at the mess in the room and and then counted out on the pixies which were lying on the ground.bringing them together and stuffing them back into the cage would be another pain but that was to be done and after what about another 45 minutes of pulling and dragging the 4 feet devils into the cage and safely locking it Bella sighed.
"Phew.that was something," she said to herself a smile crossing her face and walking out of the room.

Ainsley entered the room she had been told to go for her homework assignment, wondering just what it was going to entail. The door closed, she inwardly groaned at the sight of the enlarged pixies, each just as tall as she was, the girl swallowing as they turned noticing her. Great just great, she thought to herself as she ducked to avoid thrown objects and to try and hide, her hand slipping into her pocket for her wand. Think...use the spells from class.

Carefully she poked her head up from behind a table with her wand raised. "Expelliarmus!" Ainsley cast at the nearest pixie in front as she moved her wand in the correct motion they had been taught. The spell only managed to cause the pixie to drop the book in its hand as another two came up behind her pulling at her robes and hair. The Gryffindor struggling to get loose from their grasp as they continued to wreck havoc.

“Ow…” she muttered as she got her wand arm free again, figured keeping the others from helping the one on her would be easier then turning around and leaving her back open for them. “Locomotor Mortis… Locomotor Mortis!” she shouted jabbing her wand at two pixies coming closer with each incantation, both responding by falling down with their legs plastered together. “Two down…more to go,” she said almost to herself moving to duck from another lamp which in the process knocked the one off her back.

Ainsley let out a sigh of relief to no longer have that pull on her robes and scalp, having been regretting not tying back her long hair before she came to the room. Sending another Locomotor mortis at the offender that had rescued her, she spun around knowing the pixie was only stunned by the lamp. “Petrificus Totalus!” she shot at the pixie, the creature completely freezing and falling to the ground as the girl turned to survey the scene to see what was left.

Their numbers lowered, she started levitating the semi-immobile bodies back to the cages to get them out of the way, pausing every once in a while to shoot off another spell to keep the remaining pixies under control. “Expelliarmus!” she shot at an oncoming pixie hitting it straight on and causing it to knock into the wall unconscious. “Petrificus Totalus...” she added in follow up to keep him from getting up again.

It took some effort, not to mention a few bumps and bruises that would no doubt exist the next day but eventually the last troublesome pixie was back in its modified cage. “Finally…” Ainsley replied letting out a sigh of relief almost about to lean against the cage to recover but thought better of it, moving away to cross to the door to leave, closing the door behind her.

Entering the classroom hesitantly, Laura looked around, and seeing that the coast was clear, she sighed in relief and stepped further into the room, her confidence growing. Bad idea.

Heaind the door slam behind her, Laura turned around, her heart leaping into her mouth. Thud thud, thud-thud-thud. Her heart still hamering, she looked down at the Pixie that had the key, glad of the fact that she was a foot taller than it. The hight difference made her feel...uh, more powerful.

But the Cornish Pixie had the key, and even as she stood frozen on the spot, Lauras brain whirrled as she thought about how to get it back. Here goes nothing, she though, flicking her wrist slightly and feeling her wand slip into her hand from the holster she had recieved from a DADA lesson last year. Imediately she felt safer.

"Expelliarmus!" Laura cried, directing her wand at the Pixie with the key. Another bad idea. Instead of flying to her, as she'd hoped would happen, it just flew behind her, and into the hands of another Pixie. It's like playing Piggy in the Middle, and I'm was in the Middle, she thought wryly to herself.

Ok, time to try again. "LOCOMOTOR MORTIS!" Was Lauras second cry, and she watched the Pixie before her fall to the ground, it's legs bound together. Satisfied that she'd pulled it off, she tured around, and ducked imediately as a desk came sailing towards her. "LOCOMOTOR MORTIS! she cried again, and the Pixie whom had thrown the desk collapsed, too.

But that was far from the end. Lauras head snapped back as two of the Pixies grabbed her hair. Letting out a gasp of pain, she wrenched her head forward and rubbed the back of her neck as she spun around, in the space of about two seconds. Mere moments later, she'd screamed, "Petrificus Totalus! PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" And the clawing Pixies fell at her feet.

But there was still the matter of the Pixie with the key. "Right you," she muttered, advancing on the creature. But one moment the Pixie was in front of her, and the next it had flitted behind her, and befor she could turn around, she felt a splitting pain above her left elbow. Ignoring the pain, Laura turned to see a shattered lamp at her feet, and realised that the Creature must've thrown it at her, and that the glass must've cut her .

That was it, for her. Raising her wand, Laura screamed "LOCOMOTOR MORTIS!" at the top of her lungs. The Pixie, although it had tried to move out of the way, fell backwards as its legs joined together, dropping the key in the process. Stopping over, Laura winced as pain shot up her arm as she grabbed the key in her left hand.

Standing up straight, Laura scowled down at all of the Pixies littered across the floor of the classroom. The she turned around and fitted the key into the lock, wincing as she turned it. Hearing the click, Laura pulled open the door and set off for the hospital wing, glad that she'd got out of the classroom.

Sloane entered the room and gasped at the sight before her, cornish pixies were terrorizing the entire room. Glaring at them she huffed, "Stupid creatures!" She grumbled and immediately realized her mistake, the pixies immediately started to rush her. The other pixes further from her took the opportunity to cause as much damage as possible.

The first two that attacked actually pulled her hair and made her scream in pain, not only did she drop her wand but the cackling from the other pixies aggrevated her to no extent. Reaching for her wand she stumbled to stand up, "Expelliarmus!" She cried out loud hoping to fend off the closer pixies. She wasn't concentrating enough and the pixies just stumbled back slightly like a big wind hit them. The whole room stopped and laughed at her, the cackling and terrorizing of the room only increased. A book flew from the opposite side of the room and before Sloane could react it hit her smack in the face, the crack of her nose and the instant gush of blood dropped her to her knees. Pixies from all corners of the room started laughing harder and some fell to the floor in a giggling fit.

Sloane felt the tears falling and mixing with blood on the floor, the giggling and laughing reminded her of her older sister's torment for the past 11 years. Grasping her wand tightly in her hand she stood up and using her sleeve she wiped at the blood on her face glaring at the pixies. The anger from years of torment and the pain from nose helped fuel her fire. Lifting her wand she glared at the closest three pixies, "Petrificus totalus!" The three pixies immediately froze and collapsed to the floor.

Rounding on the others she shot curse after curse at the remaining pixies, "Stupefy! Expelliarmus! Locomotor Mortis!!!!" She cried and one by one the pixes all froze or collapsed. She'd left the pixie that hit her with the book for last, it tried to scurry away from her as quickly through the mass of bodies around the room.

Sloane trained on the pixie as it scurried away towards the door, "Petrificus totalus!" The pixie froze in its spot, its eyes trained on her approaching form. Sloane picked up a book as she stepped over a fallen bookcase and stood before the pixie, "Don't EVER do that again!" She cried and hit the pixie in the face, her anger seemed to cease as it crunched on its face. Dopping the book she looked around the room at the carnage, wiping at her nose she started towards the door and replacing her wand in her sleeve.

Patroclus stepped into the classroom. It appeared empty and quiet, “a little too quite” he mused to himself. Shutting the door behind him he turn and ventured to step forward as his foot hit the ground he heard a crunch, lifting his foot he saw a misplaced quill, splinted. However the noise had had an instantaneous reaction. The room filled with the sound of wicked cackles and the beating of wing, looking up Patroclus saw the once empty classroom was room a buzzing hive of demonic Cornish Pixies.
Noticing the Intruder, the overly sized pixies turned to dive bomb Patroclus, he jumped out of the way, allowing one to concuss it’s self on the door, falling limply to the ground. As another came around for the attack, Patroclus as trained acrobat dive rolled out of the way, simultaneously withdrawing his wand, pointing to where he had been moments ago crying out “Petrificus Totalus”. The Pixie locked up and fell to the ground with a hollow thud.

Having subdued two of their Number the rest of the Pixies flared up, the frenzy reflected in their eyes. Patroclus ran to the other side to the room, now between him and the Pixies, was a Labyrinth of desks. Three Pixies began to run at him, thinking fast he shouted with a jab “Locomotor Mortis”. The spell had its affect, their legs locked, however he had forgot one crucial thing, and they also had wings. The three took to the air, and with their now rock hard legs began to swing at Patroclus’ head, their pointy toenails leaving bleeding gauges on his cheeks and neck. Being just tall enough he grabbed one by its locked legs and swung with all his might. Releasing it, the turned and ran again, hearing the sound of the Pixie connecting with the other two.

Two of the enlarged pixies, began to lift a desk into the air, and Patroclus knew what was about to happen. Preparing himself, with his feet planted firmly of the ground ready for the impact should his plan fail; he pointed his wand in the direction of the desk. The Pixies catapulted the desk at Patroclus clearing his throat he called out “Expulso”. The desk exploded into a hundred pieces and in the resulting chaos, Patroclus, stepping through the falling debris, shot two well aimed stunners at the Pixies “Stupefy! Stupefy!”. However unbeknownst to Patroclus one of the remaining Pixies crept up behind him and jumped on his back, its hands covering Patroclus’ eyes. Not knowing where to step, He fell to the ground and was bombarded by books thrown by the pixies. Wildly rolling around in the deluge of book, Patroclus managed to get the pixie of his back, and the pointed his wand at a pixie holding a large candelabra, called out “Expelliarmus” with so much force that the pixie was thrown across the room, landing unconscious on the pile of other pixies. Standing up he studying the room, there were no Pixies to be seen yet he knew there were at least two left.
Hearing the smallest noise he whirled around and saw as one pixie dive from the top of a book case, point his wand he called out “Petrificus Totalus”, then casually stepped aside as the pixie skyrocketed to the ground able to stop his forward momentum.
The last pixie, beside it’s self with anger ran at Patroclus who calmly and with dignity sighed “Finite Incantatem” restoring it to its true size, picked it up with his hand and placed it inside a discarded cage. He then wiped the sweat and blood of his brow and exited the impressively demolish classroom.

Attack of the Cornish Pixies


Being a first year student Marie was really excited when she received an owl from Professor Lawson stating he needed her help back in the classroom. Not wanting to make the professor wait she rushed from the Slytherin common room to find him. As she rounded the corner to the DADA class she spotted the professor standing just outside the classroom door. "Hello professor, I got your owl and came here as fast as I could" Marie said a little out of breath. The professor looked at her and said "The cornish pixies have gotten out of their cages and are running wild in there. I need you to go in and use the spells you learned in class to get these devilish little creatures back in their cages." Marie didn't know what to say other than "WOW, thank you professor for having the confidence in me to help you with this situation." As Marie very carefully opened the door to the room and stepped inside, a very LARGE pixie went zooming by. Wow she thought again, I thought pixies were tiny little creatures. I guess the professor just forgot to tell me someone had enlarged these guys.
As she looked around Marie realized that these pixies were never going to fit back into their cages at their current size, she needed to figure out a way to make them small again. Just then a book came flying at her. She moved her head just in time to avoid getting hit. Think she told herself, what did the professor say was the counter curse to spells? "Fin, Fini, no that's not it" she said out loud. Come on Marie, think, what was it. "Expelliarmus" she said pointing her wand at a pixie that was about to throw a lamp at her. The lamp went flying from the pixies hand and fell to the floor. Still trying to remember the counter curse Marie started pointing her wand at the pixies shouting "LOCOMOTOR MORTIS". This caused the pixies to fall to the ground but they were still able to use their hands as it was just their legs that were bound together.
This will never do Marie thought. "Expelliarmus", this time it was a book that crashed to the ground. "FINITE" Marie yelled as she suddenly remembered the counter curse. However this did not work, it did not reduce the develish little creatures back to their small size.
"Ouch" Marie yelled as a pixie went speeding by and pulled her hair. She quickly jabbed her wand at the culprit and yelled "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS". The pixie quickly fell to the ground unable to move at all as she hit him with the full body bind curse.
That's it she thought, I just need to hit them all with petrificus totalus and I will be able to get them back in their cages. There was still one little problem though, the pixies were still at least four feet tall. How in the world was she going to reduce the size of these creatures she thought. "THAT"S IT" she shouted as she remembered a size reducing counter curse she had read about. *"REDUCIO" she said as she started pointing her wand at all the pixies. One by one they started to shrink back to their annoying little selves. She shouted "REDUCIO" over and over again until all the pixies had been reduced in size.
Now it was time to disarm these creatures and get them back in their cages where they belonged. She started yelling "EXPELLIARMUS" as she was spinning around pointing her wand at any pixie that got in her way. It was working but only briefly. Just as quickly as she disarmed one, another one would pick something up to throw at her. All of a sudden Marie felt a tugging at her robes. She looked down to see the pixie she had put in the leg binding curse pullling at her robes. "Oh no you don't" she said to him as she tried to pick him up. However he was waving his hands at her and trying to grab things to throw so she was unable to grab him. Marie started pointing her wand and yelling "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS". Pixies started to fall to the ground all around her. She quickly scooped up the fallen ones and put them in a cage. This is going to take forever she thought to herself. She needed a way to freeze these guys as a group instead of one at a time. She remembered reading something about this (being a first year and not having many friends yet, Marie had lots of time to read when not in class). Now what was that spell? Something to do with freezing or immobilizing or something like that.
Pixies were still flying everywhere causing utter chaos in the room. "Ouch", another pixie pulled Marie's hair. "Expelliarmus, Petrificus Totalus" she shouted. A few more pixies fell. She really needed to immobilize all of them, but how? Whoosh, a chair went flying through the room. Even though these things were small again they were still very strong and quick.
Immobilize, immobilize she thought. What was that spell, why couldn't she remember it? Then it hit her, *"IMMOBULUS" she shouted as she quickly waved her wand around the room. All of the pixies froze in mid air. She had done it, Marie had frozen all the pixies at once. Now she just needed to get them back into their cages before they woke up. She couldn't remember how long the effects of the freezing charm lasted so she thought she better get the little devils caged up quickly. Some of them were too high in the air for her to reach so she had to climb on tables and chairs to reach them. She sighed a breath of relief when she finally got them all caged back up again.
Marie opened the door and found the professor standing there waiting for her. "All done professor, all the pixies are back in their cages" she said sounding very tired and looking a little frazzled. "Maybe next time you should call on someone who is at least a second year for a job like this. They might be able to finish the job a little quicker than I did". Marie was so tired she didn't even wait for a reply from the professor. She slowly went back to the Slytherin common room and made her way to the girls dormitory where she climbed into bed. She was so tired she didn't even go to the great hall for dinner that night, she slept right through it.

Fallon walked into the room where they were supposed to complete there DADA homework. She looked around and stood in awe at the 4 foot tall cornish pixies. They saw her and began to throw books and other things at her. She screamed and ran for cover. She then realized she actually had to practice the spells and got up and faced the pixies.

As Fallon came out from under the desk, one of the pixies turned around to look at her. She pointed her wand at the creature and shouted, "Locomotor Mortis!" She watched as the pixie, frustrated by not being able to move it's legs, reached out for her and grabbed her hair. Fallon screamed yet again and pointed her wand at the pixie yelling, "Perfecticus Totalus! Perfecticus Totalus!"

She felt the pixie go limp as it held her. Fallon took a deep breath and looked around the room at the other pixies. Most of them still had there backs to her. She pointed her wand at each and every single one of the others and said, "Perfecticus Totalus!" She watched as all of them dropped to the ground. After they were all on the ground Fallon generally waved her wand over the room and said, "Finite Incantatem," restoring them back to normal size.

Once Fallon was done, she quickly ran out of the room, not wanting to go through that again. She saw Professor Lawson standing there. "I'm done Professor Lawson," Fallon said trying to regain her breath.

Wesley faced the wooden door, biting her lip and trying hard not to run away. As she stood there, left hand securely resting over her hip holster, Wesley was reminded of last year and the Saloon; how she had horribly failed.

BUT THIS YEAR WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

Because Wesley had come prepared.

After some serious reading up on Cornish Pixies, Wesley had decided the Locomotor Mortis spell would have no affect, seeing as pixie’s could fly and where not dependent on their legs. So, she assumed that her only reliable curse would be Petrificus Totalus and had practiced it almost obsessively. The Hufflepuff had also run through drawing her wand, and, the part she was most proud of, borrowed a set of earmuffs from a fellow badger.

Ears feeling especially warm, Wesley turned the door knob with her shaking, sweaty hand.

The door closed with a bang, causing Wesley to jump. Looking around her surroundings, she took in the large, empty cage, and jumbled mess of furniture and objects.

Something seemed off, and it wasn’t just the fact she couldn’t hear anything under her furry apparel. It was more like- the pixies where missing.

Taking a few tentative steps, Wesley began to search, starting to become even more flustered after peeking behind chairs and under tables. Feeling like she was going to cry –she had been determined to do it right this time- Wesley opened her mouth, high voice calling, “Helloo-OH!”

Her call ended in a harsh upward note as she felt her ear-muffs being tugged off; the room filling with high-pitched babble.

Letting out a small yelp of victory, Wesley turned her head upward while simultaneously drawing her wand. There they where! Clustered near the ceiling, the electric-blue pixies squabbled, looking at the fuzzy black ear-muffs with confusion, probably wondering why they weren’t attached to the now grinning Hufflepuff.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wesley quickly jabbed her wooden wand at the nearest pixy, yelling, “Petrificus Totalus!”

The flying creature dropped like a rock, landing with a solid smack. Stepping back, the 12-year-old was stunned by the shear mass of it. The Cornish Pixie was practically the same size as she was!

Wondering at its largeness, Wesley was caught off guard by a flying book that hit her in the side of the head. “Oh!” she screamed, joining her dropped pixie on the ground.

As a lamp went sailing by and crashed into the wall the second year realized she was in trouble. Scrambling under a table, Wesley peered over the top of it, ducking as a bottle of ink went soaring straight at her. It appeared that the pixie’s had realized picking her up by the ears probably wasn’t going to work, and they had turn to throwing objects. Taking a deep breath, Wesley popped up, randomly directing the little d and sending an Expelliarmus in whatever direction she was facing. The spell worked, causing one of the pixies to loose a chair. Realizing that this was her chance, Wesley finished it off with another Petrificus Totalus.

In the following minutes…or hours, the girl managed to take out the remaining pixies. By the end of the trial her voice was hoarse, and she had a massive headache from being smacked in the head too many times.

Shakily crawling out of her hiding spot, Wesley surveyed the motionless pixies, immediately feeling overwhelmed with guilt. This wasn’t like last time. This wasn’t card board cut-outs. These where real creatures and she had hurt them. Guilt mixed with confusion. She had done it. She had finished the task, just like she was supposed to. She had done everything right. But where was the feeling of joy? The feeling of success? It wasn’t anywhere. It was gone. It had only existed in the anticipation, and now, it was as if it had never been.

Maybe it was the headache, maybe it was the guilt, maybe it was the hollow feeling deep inside, or perhaps it was all three, but whatever it was, Wesley couldn’t stop from crying. Snot dribbling down her nose, she began to slowly drag the pixies towards their cage, stopping periodically for breaks and breathing heavily from over-exertion.

At last, pixies lying haphazardly in their huge cage, Wesley locked the door, and slumped to the ground, hoarsely whispering, “Finite.”

The Cornish Pixies came to life, standing up and angrily hitting the walls of their cage. Their high pitched voices seemed to accuse her angrily.

“S-sorry!” Wesley pleaded, small hand moving to unlock the cage. “I-i’m sorry! I r-really am!” Hand over the latch, just about to open the door, she stopped, realization hitting her. Certainly Professor Lawson would return them to their home. They would be free. He was a nice man; he had sat with her and Jake at the Camp Out last year. She trusted the DADA professor. Knowing this was the truth, Wesley pulled back her hand.

“It’ll be all right. I promise,” she told them before leaving, “You’ll be okay. It’s all over.”

Carter stepped inside a large room. He gasped as he was greeted by four-foot tall Cornish Pixies. One of them gave a devilish laugh before throwing a book straight at him. Carter dove out of the way. The pixie grabbed another book.

"Expelliarmus!" Carter yelled making a tight circle with his wand and then a quick flick toward the pixie with the book. The book flew out of the pixie's hand and hit it straight in the head. The pixies fell to the ground knocked out.

"One down..." Carter thought to himself with a smile on his face.

He turned to the left just in time to see a pixie running toward him preparing to headbutt him.

"Locomotor Mortis." Carter said jabbing his wand toward the running pixie. Instantly the pixie's legs sprung together and the pixie fell over.

"Another one down, two more to go..."

Carter looked around for a third pixie. Then he felt a tug on his robes and his hair.

"Ouch." Carter said knocking the pixie away from him with his arm. The pixie fell to the ground and the got back up. It laughed and headed straight for him again flying about.

"Stupefy!" Carter said annoyed by this pixie. He hadn't tried this spell in class and hoped that it would work. Thankfully it did and the pixie fell to the ground, stunned.

"Last one." Carter thought searching the room with his eyes. He spotted the last pixie high on a bookshelf preparing to jump on him.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Carter yelled as the pixie jumped. Carter quickly jumped out of the way as the pixie came tumbling down. It hit the ground with a loud THUD! Carter went and stood over the pixie. The pixie looked back up at him with a deathly stare.

He dragged this pixie first over to it's cage and with a great lug shoved it inside. He then went over and did the same with the pixie that he hit with the stunning spell. Then he went over to the pixie who's legs were sprung together. It had been pushing itself up with its hands only to topple over again. Carter laughed a bit before grabbing it and dragging it over to the third cage. Then he went to the one that had been knocked out by a book. Luckily this pixie was limp so it was a lot easier to drag over to the last cage.

Carter then straightened up his robes and ruffled his hair hoping it was presentable. He then took a deep breath.

"I'm done Professor!" he said with a smile admiring his handiwork.

Marina entered the room cautiously, holding her wand in one hand, ready to defend herself, while she kept the other hand firmly on the door handle. Ahh -there they were! Two troll-sized Cornish Pixies were coming at her with malicious grins and each with a stack of books in one arm. Marina lost no time, pointed her wand at one of them and said "Expelliarmus!" While this made the Pixie drop the books (they didnt exactly fly out of its hands as the spell had not been said with enough force) the other Pixie started throwing its books on Marina and she let go of the door handle just in time to protect her face with her left arm. The books hit her haed and body. She tried to aim at the Pixie who was throwing them without looking (because she was still covering her face with her arm) and shouted "Stupefy!" She missed the Pixie by inches and had a particularly large book thrown at her that painfully hit her leg and landed on her foot. "Ouch!" She put her arm down and raised her head to look what was going on. To her momentary relief the two had stopped throwing books. But more Pixies were approaching all carrying books, lamps or other stuff, one even had a chair. She might be knocked out if that thing hit her! She pointed her wand at the chair-carrier and shouted "Stupefy!" The spell worked, but while she had been concentrating on it, she had not realized that the Pixie who had thrown books before had come very close. It grabbed her by the back of her robes and lifted her up into the air. "NOOO! Let go of me!" she shrieked in terror. She didn't remember Lawson telling them how to get out of such a situation! She pointed her wand at the Pixie and used the first spell that came to her mind. "Expelliarmus! Even when she said it, she knew it was no good. The spell made herself fly out of the Pixie's grip and land hard on the floor. "Ahhhhhh!" her backside hurt like it had never done before. She started to cry and felt weather something might be broken. She thought not, but still it hurt. She looked up, still lying on the floor and saw that the Pixies were approaching and raising their weapons again. She wildly pointed her wand here and there and cried"Stupefy! Locomortor Motis... motor Mortis... Loco... Stupefy! Expelliarmus! Incendio!" (she had only just remembered that one) "Stupefy!" Several Pixies were knocked out, disarmed or set on fire. The last one she stupefied fell in her direction and she had to crawl away quickly to get out of the way. She got up (still hurting) and, heartened by the success of her spells, pointed her wand at the remaining Pixies and shouted "Expelliarmus! Locomotor Mortis! Stupefy! Incendio!" with more confidence than before. Apparently she wasn't so bad at this and she wasn't going to let the best (not to mention hottest) of her teachers down! Still she almost didn't belive her eyes when she had actually done it: Knocked all of them out or made them otherwise momentaryly unable to fight. With a satisfied smile and pointed slowness she went back to the door. She looked back at her work and then left the room.
