18. Incarcerous

Not forgetting her ambition to be highly capable in the department of wandless magic despite this year of 2092 being her OWL year, Rachel stood in the Practice room before one of Professor Hirsch’s dummies. Her wand was safely tucked away and she was trying to get into the right frame of mind before she got started. After a few deep breaths, she focused on the dummy and raised her right hand. So far, she had utterly and miserably failed at this type of magic and had many a time been on the verge of giving up. Had it not been for her beloved Professor Hirsch and his encouraging words, she would have.

“Incarcerous.’’ Rachel focused and tried to put everything that had been taught to her into her actions. Disappointment etched her face when the ropes she had been hoping for did not appear on the dummy. “Incarcerous!’’ Thin cords appeared for a second. The Ravenclaw gasped as the cord landed on the dummy’s shoulder, her eyes widening. “Goodness! Something finally happened!’’ Excitement took over her and she rushed off to tell Hirsch.

It wasn’t much but it was encouraging.

13. Flagrate

Five year old Rachel giggled.

“Again, daddy!’’

Phil Watson obliged by drawing a flower in the air using the incantation ‘Flagrate’. The little girl jumped and tried to grab the flower but she was so small, so tiny that she could not reach. This didn’t bother her but she did have more requests for her father.

“Unicorn, please?’’

“Whatever the Princess want.’’ Phil did a little bow that sent his daughter into another round of giggles before taking his time to trace out the unicorn. Only… it looked more like a dog and the horn was quite crooked.

“Silly daddy. That’s not a unicorn.’’

“Oh, but it is. It’s a special unicorn that only makes its presence known to special little girls.’’

“Really?” Rachel’s eyes were wide.

“Yes. My Rachel is a very special princess.’’

23. Levicorpus

The duel was not going as well as the fifth year had hoped. “What’s wrong with me?’’ she questioned herself. Brown eyes darted to Professor Hirsch who was overseeing the duel. “He’ll be so disappointed in me.’’ Desperately trying not to sink into a whirl of disappointment of her own, Rachel pointed her wand at her opponent.

“LEVICORPUS!’’ she shouted. Her concentration was at its highest.

Her opponent was suddenly dangling from the ankle. The Ravenclaw brightened up and decided her best course of action would be to take advantage of her momentary upper hand. “Expelliaramus!’’

Wandlessly cast, that was what she had done. The Disarming Spell was cast wandlessly and it had been successful. A stunned Rachel caught the wand, her eyes once again darting to Hirsch. It was the first time she had done this in a duel as she was still struggling with Wandless Magic.

“I did it,’’ she whispered, hardly daring to believe it.

39. Riddikulus

“In-incendio!’’ a terrified Rachel said. Her wand hand shook as she pointed the wand at her father being strangled by Devil’s Snare.

“Rach- Rachel. I can’t brea-’’

Breathe. Phil Watson could not breathe.

“I’m tr-trying, daddy! Incendio!’’

Even that didn’t work. Rachel thought that she didn’t see her father’s chest rise and fall anymore. Sobs emitted from her and she dropped her wand as she fell to her knees. Hands went on to cover her face. “I’m s-sorry, da-daddy.’’

“Rachel!’’

The twenty five year old jumped to her feet and spun around. “Daddy!’’ For there was her father. But how? Phil rushed to his daughter, pulling his wand. “Riddikulus!’’ There was a loud crack and a dancing snargaluff appeared, its vines waving about. With another crack, it was gone.

“You’re okay, Princess. I'm okay,’’ Phil reassured as Rachel clung to him.

FearlessLeader19 · 09-09-2017, 05:28 PM

44. Stupefy

“Aaaaaaah!’’

Rachel let out a positively bloodcurdling scream and immediately proceeded to bolt to the opposite end of Greenhouse five. Spiders terrified her and there had been one lurking among the plant pots. “It’s a big one,’’ she thought, hiding behind a barrel of fertiliser. Actually, the spider was not but even the tiniest of spiders were huge in her eyes.

“What should I do? I really want to return to taking care of those plants.’’ She skulked around some more and finally plucked up her courage. “I’ll stun it then levitate it outside.’’ Yes, that was a good plan.

Rachel returned. Her wand was held out, ready to defend herself if necessary. “S-stupefy!’’ The spider seemed to be still, obviously knocked out. “By Ariel’s love for all things human… that’s taken care of.’’

Now Rachel would just take the little creature outside...

27. Muffliato

“I refuse to, Aunty Regina,’’ Rachel said firmly and tried to hide from the woman in the family’s greenhouses.

“It’s just one date, Rachel,’’ Regina stated in frustration.

“I’m not interested in dating at present. Thank you for caring about my love life, however, but I’m really, strongly not interested.’’

“Are you sassing me, Rachel Skye Watson?’’

“I learnt that from the best, Aunty,’’ Rachel stated sweetly. She darted behind a shrub. Regina would never find her! Hopefully.

“Where are you?’’

Rachel remained silent.

“Aren’t you a little too old for hide-and-seek?’’

Still the girl remained silent. She could see Regina now by peeking through the shrub’s leaves.

“I’ll find you and then I’ll change your mi-’’

“Muffliato.’’

Now that her aunt heard only buzzing, Rachel giggled and ran out of the greenhouse.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-14-2017, 04:09 PM

15. Hurling Hex

“Rachel, DON’T!”

But it was too late. Six year old Rachel, hair in pigtails had already climbed onto the broomstick. She just wanted to hover a bit because she knew her mommy and daddy would not approve for her flying about in the Greenhouse..

Rachel’s giggle was cut short when the jerk from the broomstick sent her flying. She gasped and screamed though luckily for her, she landed in a bed of mundane roses.

“Are you hurt?’’ Mae Watson’s curious face lingered about. “I told Phil that broomstick was no good and not to leave it lying around. That Hurling Hex just can’t seem to be removed…’’

Rachel giggled. “Mommy, I’m alright. The roses saved me.’’

“I can see that, darling. Come on. Up you get,’’

The girl took her mother’s extended hand. “Thank you.’’

“You smell lovely.’’

“Exactly like roses!’’

FearlessLeader19 · 12-14-2017, 03:19 PM

36. Reducto

“Reducto!’’

The plant pot shattered into a million little pieces. Rachel was sorry she had been reduced to destroying the pot but for some reason, the mandrake within refused to leave its warm and snug hope.

“It was only a temporary home for you,’’ the Ravenclaw assured the young mandrake over its screams. Obviously it could not hear her and all she heard was her own voice reverberating rather loudly in her head thanks to the bright pink earmuffs covering her ears.

Onc the mandrake was cemented in its new home, Rachel removed the earmuff and regarded the pot. “Rest in peace, pot. I hope Professor Myers doesn’t hate me for destroying you.’’ But surely he would understand. It was a good thing she would be getting him a replacement, anyway.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-17-2018, 03:29 PM

30. Oppugno

Rachel gasped.

An ordinary little cute but ferocious feline was glaring right at her as she sat in her tent. It was a medium sized tiger.

"Cute little tiger,'' she said nervously and gripping her wand tightly. "I'm sure your family is looking for you so why don't you run along?'' But where was her own family? Where were her mommy and daddy? Her Aunty Rachel and Uncle Allen?

The tiger growled and took a menacing step towards her which made her raise her wand. Rachel was scared it would leap at her but she didn't want to hurt it either. "Idea!'' she thought. "Oppugno!'' The wand was pointed at the tiger and it was suddenly showered with an assortment of Disney princess soft dolls.

It was enough for the tiger. It took off in a flash of orange and black.

Rachel was safe.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-18-2018, 03:16 PM

14. Glisseo

“Slide, daddy! Slide!''

"She wants the stairs to be turned into a slide again,'' May told her husband with a laugh.

Phil too laughed. "The Princess's wish is my command. Glisseo.''

The five year old at his side giggled and clapped her hands. "Let's go down!''

"After you, young lady.''

With another giggle, the girl with the pigtails sat on the 'slide'. "Bye, daddy!'' she said and a second later she was whooshing down. There were loud and excited giggles and shouts of delight from her as she went along, fastly approaching the end when her mother stood.

"Catch me, mommy!''

May did exactly that, scooping her beloved daughter into her arms and lifting her up.

"That was fun!''

"That's evident from the look on your face, Princess.'' Phil had now joined them after reverting the stairs. He kissed Rachel on the cheek.

He loved her so much.

FearlessLeader19 · 03-11-2018, 02:50 PM

6. Crucio

The faceless person loomed over her.

Rachel, trapped in a corner, stared fearfully but defiantly up at her attacker. She refused to go down without a fight though she was unaware where this sudden surge of courage came from. The faceless, nameless attacker cackled. Female, it was definitely a female.

"Why are you doing this?'' Rachel asked, surprised that her voice remained steady.

Miss Faceless didn't answer but instead raised a wand and pointed it at Rach's chest. "Crucio!'' a wheezy voice exclaimed.

The pain hit Rachel and she screamed liked she never screamed before- at the top of her lungs. At the same time, she thrashed around in her bed. Someone was shaking her.

"Rachel! Rachel! You're dreaming. Wake up!''

Brown eyes opened and the twenty year old stared up into Kyle's face. She was sweating and was quite sure she was pale. Without saying anything, she buried her face against him, simply glad for his constant presence in her life which was always reassuring to her.

FearlessLeader19 · 04-08-2018, 03:53 PM

16. Impedimenta

"Don't rush off to far ahead, Barkley,'' Rachel called after her terrier who was trotting away but occasionally pausing to sniff a plant or two. Like his owner, Barkley loved flora. Today, the duo was taking a mild hike in the forest behind the Watson house.

Barkley gave a few excited barks and Rachel saw him rush off. "He's probably off to chase a rabbit,'' the nineteen year old mused to herself. It was something the dog usually did. A sudden movement distracted her. Rachel gasped loudly.

A huge branch had broken off one of the trees and was falling towards Barkley. "Barkley!'' she shouted. She needed to do something and quickly too! "Impedimenta!'' Once it was slowed, she rushed forward and was able to snatch Barkley out of harms way.

"Are you alright?'' The dog was hugged closely. He in turn barked and licked her face.

FearlessLeader19 · 05-13-2018, 07:01 PM

33. Petrificus Totalus

"Do we really have to practice this spell?'' Rachel groaned.

"You need to have an Outstanding for your DADA NEWT, Rachel,'' Kyle told her patiently. "We both know this is one spell you fail at.''

Rachel pouted but then broke into a giggle. "Thank you for doing this.'' And she kissed him on the cheek. "Alright. I'm ready.''

The seventh year backed up to raise her wand towards Kyle who was standing in front of some cushions. "Petrificus Totalus!'' The wand was moved in the shape of a sideways hook. There was a flash of white light and Kyle's limbs went rigid before he toppled backwards, landing with a soft thud on the pillows.

Rachel ran to him to see him rolling his eyes at her. With a giggle, she undid the damage.

"I did it! I did it!'' The Ravenclaw hugged him excitedly. "Now I need ice cream as a reward for all that tough work.''

FearlessLeader19 · 06-09-2018, 03:15 PM

43. SpeRevelio

"SpeRevelio!'' Rachel declared confidently and making the appropriate wand movement. She waited, her heart thumping in her chest. You see, she was quite certain she had seen a shadow in the greenhouse when she had been looking out of her window.

Standing there right now, she could see no one. Her spell work had not revealed any intruders or magic. Frowning, the young woman lowered her wand. Suddenly, there was a loud bark and Barkley bounded into view.

"Barkley!'' Rachel exclaimed in relief. "I thought you were a thief or something of the sort.'' Barkley woofed loudly and tried to lick her face while his owner laughed. "How did you get in though? The door was locked.''

This called for some investigating.

11. Expecto Patronum

''Expecto Patronum!’’ eleven-year-old Rachel whispered excitedly. Yes, she was aware the Charm was an advanced one but she had read all about it. Perhaps even a wisp of silvery smoke would escape her wand? She looked to Sebby, the stuffed red toy crab that sat upon her bed. “I guess this is too much to demand of myself, don’t you think?’’

Rachel sighed and set down her wand before shifting to sit beside Sebastien. “I hope my Patronus is a crab,’’ she continued in a whisper, not wanting to wake the other girls in the dorm. “I would name it Sebastian as well.’’ The girl hugged Sebastien the toy.

“I’ll try again tomorrow.’’

FearlessLeader19 · 08-11-2018, 11:00 PM

4. Blasting Curse

“Rachel! Do something!’’

Regina was screaming in her ears, apparently loosing her head completely while some monstrous plant attempted to squeeze her brother to death.

“You’re not helping!’’ Rachel shouted back at her. She calmed herself. She needed to save her father; to save the only man she loved besides Kyle and Garreth. Luckily, she knew what to do.

“CONFRINGO!’’ the young woman bellowed and taking careful aim away from Phil Watson. The plant exploded where the spell hit. “CONFRINGO!’’ The spell was repeated for good measure. It was enough. The plant started to retreat. Phil dropped to the ground, gasping for breath while Regina rushed over.

The culprit vanished then Rachel was able to breather properly. She followed her aunt and threw her arms around her father’s neck.

He was safe.

FearlessLeader19 · 09-23-2018, 03:16 PM

29. Obliviate

"Why would I do that?’’ nineteen-year-old Rachel asked the ever so dramatic Regina who was lying on her bed. The aunt was nursing a recently mended broken left arm.

“So much sass, Rachel Watson.’’ Regina slapped her uninjured hand against her forehead, her eyes closed. “Won’t you do this for your aunt?’’

“Erase the memory of a harmless fish jumping at you, then you falling over in the pond?’’

“And me breaking my arm.’’ Regina glared now. “It’s just one word. Obliviate. Go on.’’

“I think not,’’ Rachel said sitting down on the edge of the bed. “My darling Aunt Regina. It’s much more fun for you to remember!’’

“It’s not,’’ Regina muttered. “I was humiliated in front of Allen.’’

This, of course, made Rachel giggle.

FearlessLeader19 · 10-13-2018, 02:27 PM

26. Morsmordre

“Morsmordre,’’ Rachel whispered as a terrified eleven year old. As she read on her bed in the Ravenclaw dorm and tried to picture the scary skull and snake, her heart strummed louder and faster. The symbol of Voldemort and his followers were enough to make her want to crawl under the bed and hide forever.

Her eyes closed she and tried not to imagine the carnage that would have been caused when the Death Eaters to casted that spell. She imagine the horrified children hiding while the older ones fought to protect the ones they cared about. Because of this death was prominent on both sides.

It is so terrifying indeed. In addition, it was also heartbreaking.

FearlessLeader19 · 11-20-2018, 02:24 PM

50. Waddiwasi

“Waddiwasi!’’

Dully, third year Rachel pointed her wand at the mass of old sponge that sat unnoticed under a table. She happened to be at another table in the Kitchen. Her usually bright spirits were down and this was because she believed she would score low marks in a recently completed Defense Against the Dark Arts examination. She was rather worried that Professor Hirsch would be disappointed in her.

“Waddiwasi.’’

Even her spell work was mirroring her mood for the sponge remained where it was as though glued sturdily to the floor. Rachel sighed, not in frustration, but in sadness. Now her attention was turned to the chicken and cucumber sandwich an elf had made her. This at least would help her to feel better even if it were for a little bit.

FearlessLeader19 · 01-05-2019, 12:08 PM

32. Peskipiksi Pesternomi

The Cornish Pixies in her father’s possession had somehow managed to escape their cage and were now terrorising the Watson House. Many of the items had been smashed or ripped but they could be fixed later. At present, Rachel and her mother, Mae, were taking cover under the dining table.

“What your father was thinking when he agreed to hold these things for his friend...’’ Mae whispered, her blond hair disheveled.

Despite the situation, twenty-year-old Rachel giggled. “Daddy wasn’t thinking at all, mommy. But we can’t keep cowering here. We need to do something.’’ Without a further word, she ducked out from under the table. “Peskipiksi Persternomi!’’

This spell had better work but if it didn’t, there were others Rachel was ready to try.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-25-2019, 09:29 PM

48. Unbreakable Vow

“What’s an Unbreakable Vow?’’ ten-year-old Rachel asked her mother.

Mae Watson was clattering around in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She glanced over at her daughter as she put the words together to answer the question. She was trying to make it simple and not grisly. “It’s simple, really, sweetie. It’s a very serious promise whereby the two persons involved must keep that promise. There is a dire consequence if it isn’t kept.’’

“What consequence, mommy?’’

Mae set the cutting board down on the kitchen table, put some peeled shallots on them and grabbed a knife. “Let’s just say that one survives while the other won’t.’’

Rachel’s brown eyes widened. “I would never want to be apart of such a Vow.’’

FearlessLeader19 · 03-05-2019, 10:38 PM

21. Legilimens

“Legilimens.’’

Rachel ducked under a nearby table as the spell darted her way. It was her hope that the table would offer protection with its umbriferous texture. “It’s just a play,’’ she reminded herself. “It’s not like you’re really going to have your memories intruded upon.’’ This was true but the play’s script did require her to hide under the table. It was only for a moment she had believed that her memories would be troubled with.

Rachel peeked out from under her hiding spot. Her drama club partner was shaking his head. “You got terrified again that the spell was real, didn’t you?’’ he said mockingly.

Rachel straightened up. “I know not what you speak of,’’ the seventh year said.

FearlessLeader19 · 04-13-2019, 04:02 PM

17. Imperio

“Similarities between Love Potions and the Imperius Curse?’’ Rachel wondered out aloud. It was a question that had suddenly popped into her brain as she studied in the library. She lowered her voice. “Really, it’s more like the ‘Unsimilarities’ between the two.’’ This was what she decided to go along with and so she began to scribble in her note book. She had drawn a table, with rows and columns, to do this.

Under the ‘Love Potion’ column, she wrote, “Needs to be brewed’’. Under the other one, “Requires wand work’’ was penned.

The list continued, with the girl pausing occasionally to ponder. In the end, she had about five differences but one thing was clear: The Imperius Curse was a nasty one.

FearlessLeader19 · 05-19-2019, 12:09 AM

2. Avada Kedavra

“Avada Kedavra!’’

The masked figured calmly but sinisterly said the deadly incantation. Rachel, in panic, watched helplessly as the green light exploded from the wand tip. She was too far away to do anything, even push the two men she loved with all of her heart, out of the way. Just as bad, she didn’t have her wand with her.

Rachel was speechless and in shock as the spell blasted at and hit her father and boyfriend. Phil Watson and Kyle Bayless fell lifeless to the floor.

It was a great gasp that Rachel bolted upright in the bed. She was breathing as though she had run ten miles. Pushing hair out of her eyes, she looked down at Kyle beside her. Fortunately, he was still asleep and hadn’t been woken by her sudden movement. Kyle was safe... it had only been a dream... that meant her daddy was safe too...

Rachel gave a small sob of relief and moved close to Kyle. She curled up there and tried to fall back asleep.
