"Protego!" she muttered and waved her wand. Faint blue light appeared but quickly vanished! Maybe it was because her spell was still very weak. But at least she had got something!
Now was time to practice the Knockback jinx. She didn't it. She referred through her notes, and saw that she needed a partner to work with. There was a Ravenclew girl just besides her who was also apparently learning like herself.


She approached her and asked, "Hi, I'm Ira. It looks that you too are without a partner. Shall we practice together?"
