The question WAS should he throw the ENTIRE box of every flavour beans up in the air (and risk it exploding if he totally failed at the spell) or open the packet and throw one bean at a time and practice on that if he super promised he wouldn't eat one (but actually would totally eat them).

He'd try the pack first. Less temptation. See? SEE HOW MATURE HE WAS BEING?

Right. Slow it down first, then stop it. Cool. Cool cool cool. NO BIG.

Tobias readied his wand in his right hand and chucked the packet of sweets up in the air. Mayyyyyyyyyyyyyybe a little TOO lightly.

"Arrest-... oh."

They'd fallen back to the desk before Tobias had even had a chance to say the incantation. Grrrr. Right. He'd just had to chuck them RIGHT up in the air. Right now. Okay. Please don't essplode.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand CHUCKTHESWEETSINTHEAIR.

"Arresto Momentum!" Tobias called out, feeling slightly panicked and just trying to get the spell cast quickly because he didn't want the sweets to go everywhere and he HAD chucked them up a bit too forcefully.

But the sweets DID stop.

And that's the thing.

They STOPPED. He was supposed to slow it down, not stop it completely. Grrrr. Toby even leaned riiiiiiiiiiiight up close to see if maybe it was just moving but reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally slowly. But no. He'd stopped it.

Tobias picked the box out from the air where it was suspended in front of him and thought. WELL, this was a good thing. Because he HAD managed the spell, right? That was the bright side. Now he just had to focus on slowing it down instead of stopping it. Toby hadn't FAILED, he was just doing things in a different order.

And on that positive note, Tobias threw the box of sweets in the air again and got ready to cast the spell.
