DRAT.
Looking over at Blue Eyes again, Benzi's jaw fell at her smile. SHE HAD SMILED AT HIM. What was he even supposed to do now???!?? Frantically looking around for something cool to do he grabbed his wristband and threw it in the air again, hoping to impress.
ACK OOPS NOOOOO.
Instead of sending it straight up, Benzi in his haste had tossed it RIGHT to where Blue Eyes was sitting. NOT GOOD NOT GOOD ABORT ABORT. STOOOOPPPPPPP. IT WAS GOING TO HIT HER IN THE FACEEEEEEE. Doing the first thing that came to him, Benzi hopped on the table, pointed his wand at the flying wristband which was SO CLOSE to Blue Eyes' head and yelled "ARRESTO MOMENTUM!"
IT WAS STILL FLYING N- Wait. It froze. In midair. Benzi stared at it for the longest time before releasing the breath he'd been holding. PHEW. A lazy, self satisfied smirk replaced his anxious frown as he hopped off the table and retook his seat next to Cutty.
Cutty's eyes didn't leave his quill even as Benzi approached and took a seat near him. "
Where in 'ell were you? I didn't see you coohm in." His filthy little hand still gripping his hilt as he searched amongst his objects for something to suspend. When he finally did manage to look up at Benzi, Benzi was looking at something else...
Sophie! 1/2 of the Newell Tweebs.
And so was another Hufflepuff boy who seemed around their age.
Cutty sneered with disapproval. "
Diz-gooz-tin!" He voiced his opinion clear and audibly as he eyed the parchment ball bunched up on top of Benzi's things. He seriously considered tossing it at Sophie, but it wasn't hard enough for his liking. Not that he needed to, because his crazy Ravenclaw frenemy was right there 2 steps ahead of him.
Yeah, Rider! Aim for the forehead! Cutty held out hope, but was all the more crushed when he looked onward in horror of not getting to witness another face wallop by a mundane artifact.
What was Rider doing?! Was he actually trying to stop the wrist band?!
Too disgusted to watch, Cutty took a pile of parchment from his desk and tossed them into the air above himself. They flittered, rocked and swayed unpredictably, but Cutty was so charged over what he'd just seen his aim was fairly on target. "
Arresto Momentum!" And he meant it, as he zapped one sheet, then another, and another a few falling slowly and some completely ceased. He stepped back and resumed his seat surrounded by parchment sheets which had been plentiful enough that by the time he'd finished it looked somewhat as though time stopped just as a small shattering shoji had sent pieces of itself all around Cutty. The professor was right. It had been a simple enough.
Finally answering Benzi's question as if wishing to get back on the topic of the charms class, Cutty replied through a disapproving frown, "
Yes, I managed. How 'bout you??"
