Feeling a little scared about so many people being nearby with their judgey eyes, Vesper tried to edge away...and work under the radar when she tossed her object and attempted the spell. What could she throw, though? It was something to be thought about...She couldn't very well throw her notebook. Just...no. Nor her markers, shading pencils...quills...

She didn't feel comfortable throwing books, either.

How about...an article of clothing? Maybe?

Glancing around, she moved a hand up to loosen her tie. Ties. They didn't have them at Beauxbatons...but Ves wasn't complaining. She actually really liked them. They were more her style...rather than the fine silk. Once she'd getting it loose enough to slip off her neck and over her head, she held it out in front of her. Another great thing about using her tie, it wouldn't make a loud noise if she messed up and it hit the ground.

The Ravenclaw took a moment to applaud her own brilliance.

Mini!victory dance!

Then the tie was TOSSED...moving her wand quickly in a waving motion, she pronounced the incantation just like Professor Fuller. Eeeep. She tried not to think about him too much...DISTRACTING MAN. EEP.

"Arresto Momentum."

It did NOT slow. Not even a little bit...Vesper blinked and realized she hadn't even been focusing on the intention aspect at all. Right...The tie was going to fall...and her magic needed to make it...not fall. Or slow down. Or STOP altogether. Any slowing of the momentum would be appreciated...

Picking the tie up from the ground, it got TOSSED again.

She took a deep, steady breath, her heart hammering in her chest. "Arresto Momentum." WAVE!

OH. It'd definitely slowed some that time. A small success!
