Ahh, line up line up. Zara looked around and no one had moved yet to form the line. Should she go first, then? Her gaze wandered off to Simon who was there, watching. She stepped up and whispered to herself first before trying, "Proh-tay-goh. Right. Here goes," she mumbled and pointed her wand towards the dummy.
And almost most suddenly that dummy seemed like it came to life for it suddenly produces some kind of light aiming towards her. Panicking, she immediately shouted, "Proh-tay-goh!" with her eyes closed, but her wand still pointing at the dummy.
That light..it wouldn't be dangerous right? Slowly, she opened her eyes, saw her hand was still held up towards the dummy with the wand firm in her grasp. Had she done it? Zara blinked as she let this sink in. OH HEYYYYY. She did it..did she?
Her lips curved into a smile as she realized that she had just produced a spell. Not caring whether it was weak or not, she was happy just to do it. Maybe she'd improve later on after practicing. Simon watched as his group all tried their hands at the relatively simple spell. He couldn't help smiling as they seemed to be handling themselves quite well including the youngest of the bunch. He nodded as they went one on one with the dummy. "Very good." Quote:

"Thank you..." she thanks Simon while thinking of the proper title to address him. "Captain Bennett," she finally comes out with a proper way to address him.
"Prow-tay-goe, pro-tay-goh, Protego!!" Aiden keeps recalling the correct incantation.
Aiden managed to master the incantation in short period of time. While lining up, Aiden takes a deep breath to overcome her nerves. She could feel her heart pounding. What if the spell does not work?
As her turn comes, Aiden takes another deep breath. She recalls what her father told her how to cast a spell properly. "Focus... Say the incantation loud and clear..." she mutters, reminding herself.
Wand pointed at the dummy, the grey eyes are locked on the dummy like a lion waiting for it's prey. As the dummy shoots the light, she reads the incantation with a clear voice. "Protego!!" Bright, transparent blue shield is conjured from her wand.
She did it! Stepping aside, she gives an almost invisible smirk of self-satisfactory. "You're welcome," Simon returned to the girl as she thanked him for his assistance on the spell pronunciation. When it was her turn, the seventh year watched with concentration, glad to see she had gotten the hang of it. "Good job," he said as Aiden moved to let the next student go. Quote:

"Pro-" The jet of light shot out of the dummy's wand before he was ready. Hugo instinctively ducked, he did not know whether the spell would hurt. He got back up. Right. Try again. He looked around nervously. He focused as his pupil shot back to the dummy. The dummy shot it's spell, Hugo pointed and said "Protego!" and a blue shield shot out of his wand, absorbing the spell and disappeared immediately. "Awesome!" Hugo said, awing his wand. He was always intrigued by spells that could be used in combat. "Don't worry...it wont hurt. Its more for appearance," he assured the Ravenclaw as he ducked the first time around for the dummy. Simon watched the boy try to relax and focus, smiling as the shield appeared the second time. "Good job." Quote:

She pulled her wand out of her pocket, and waited for the jet of light. "Protego!" she said, and failed. The light hit her, and she stepped out of the way, letting other students take their turns. Protego, Protego, Protego!" she practiced by herself. Maybe she had the wand movement wrong? Seeing the girl miss her mark the first time, Simon frowned but not out of disappointment. For it was understandable for some to not be able to do it at first, they couldn't all be perfect. The captain walked closer as she practiced off to the side. "Anything I can help with?" he asked seeing as it had seemed to be done well enough. Quote:

Getting curious, Desmond walked a little faster. When he got close, he slowed down and stuck his head around the corner. "Um... hey?" he said in more of a question then a statement. This was one of the abandoned classrooms. What were these students doing in here? Simon turned hearing a new voice and spotted a boy sticking his head into the classroom seemingly confused and curious at the same time. Which was understandable seeing as they weren't making their lessons too wildly known and most would expect this classroom to still be empty like it usually was in past years.
"Hello...come on in," he greeted in return motioning for him to walk in further. "We're working on learning defensive and offensive spells if you'd like to join us."
