Louisa blinked when he shouted not to use those three spells. This little man was so passionate about teaching them the right thing - she liked that and had a deep respect for the dwarf for it. Watching him demonstrate the two spells they were about to use later Louisa gave Vashti a sharp cold look. Louisa was going to learn how to shield herself from THIEVES friends like her soon. She wasn't going to try and push against the shield Vashti drew in front of her anymore, she'd draw one of her own. HEH.

Extending her arm Louisa moved her wand from right to left to right again. Slowly and very focused she did it again and again until her shoulder tingled a bit and her arm got used to the wand movement. "Protego!" Right, left, then right again.

Nothing.

"Protego!" Right, left, and then back to right. She froze trying to sense any change in the atmosphere around her. Was she supposed to feel some kind of a protecting bubble? "Protego." Less enthusiastically now and a very fast light flashed before her eyes. She extended her hand to touch anything but the stillness of the air was there.

"Protego!" She half-shouted at last, growing impatient with the so-called advanced spell. It stung her that Vashti had done with much less efforts. Again and again she tried. "'Proooootego!" Her wand movement was faster than before and more athletic - the lighting circled flashed before the girl and the shield was done.

Beaming and excited at that Louisa met the eyes of as many students as possible to pass over her own I-DID-IT look. "Who wants a partner? Fourth year over here!" She announced happily - HER SHIELD WAS SET!

Now for the hard part...

Finding a partner.

Especially a partner of the same age as he and Gideon didn't readily see many of his yearmates around, many of them quite clearly sixth and seventh years or firsties. "Um...any fourth years around?" he absently questioned looking around.

HIM! Louisa marched toward the boy. "I'm a fourth year." Looking at his uniform she almost fainted. He was a Gryffindor - The brave and bald ones. She forced a formal smile at him. "Louisa Carter. We can be partners." Obviously. She didn't extend her hand for a shake first, she rarely did that to strangers. Second, they were going to practice hexing each other not socially mingling. Ravvies mind working here.
