Oh good. She had seen him. Telling himself that it was going to be fine, Lewis opened his mouth to say hi, maybe even introduce himself and such, since they were going to be partners and all. And casting spells on each other. This was the rare occasion even HE would have bothered to ask for the other person's name.
The girl didn't seem to share that sentiment, though. Not at all. The way she was suddenly pointing her wand at him made him forget what exactly they were supposed to be doing here. And who could blame him, really, he had been the victim to so many pranks back home that a wand pointed at him just had that effect on him. Especially if he didn't know the other person.
So instead of just letting the spell hit him, like they were supposed to, he pulled out his own wand with a yelp and shouted, "Protego!" Once the spell bounced off his shield he blinked at the girl a couple of times. Right. That did not go as planned. "Erm. Sorry 'bout that. You just...startled me. You...wanna try again?" He blushed, not looking at her, and even reached out to take her arm softly so that she could try again.
Will it work? Will it work!?!, Gwen thought and waited for the spell to hit him.
WHAT!? O_______________o ‘Merlin’s beard’, Gwendolyn mumbled looking rather surprised.
What is wrong with you?!, the Ravenclaw wanted to snap back, but didn’t.
He might get upset and then I’ll have to practice on twigs, paper or boring stuff. However, as she listened to his explanation, she couldn’t help raising her eyebrows.
Startled? Psh…please… ‘All right?’, she said, still looking puzzled. Not upset. Just puzzled.
If I wanna try again? ‘Of course’, she answered curtly. Grabbing her wand back, the third year wanted to make sure he SAW it this time.
Now- I’m pointing the wand at you. This means I’ll cast a spell. This means you just have to stay, she thought.
‘Relashio!’, the girl said loud and clear, hoping that this time the spell would work.
‘Err…I don’t believe we met before’, the Ravenclaw began saying.
‘I’m Gwen, by the way. Gwen Greene’ There. Now you know who the crazy partner is.
