 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Time to move on.. Claudette looked up as the professor addressed them, then got up to get in line with the rest of the class. She craned her neck to see over the students standing in front of her.. water balloons. That was interesting enough, she supposed. She certainly didn't want to take one to the face. A face that was not puberty-infested, thank you very much.
The 16 year old watched the people in front of her attempt the spell, some successfully, others not. She was starting to grow a little concerned, thinking about how many attempts at the spell she needed before the ink bottle stopped completely. What if she was too late? What if the water balloon hit her in the face? She didn't want to get drenched.
And then it was her turn. Claudette closed her eyes for a moment, picturing a balloon coming towards her then stopping at her command. Then she opened her eyes, raised her wand, and nodded at the professor to signal that she was ready. Her eyes trained on the balloon, the sixth year waved her wand, "Arresto Momentum!" It slowed but was still coming towards her and her eyes widened slightly. Taking a deep breath, Claudette focused again, picturing the balloon stopping. "Arresto Momentum!" she waved her wand and the balloon stopped inches from her face.
Claudette grinned as she saw that her spell worked and she plucked the balloon out of the air. "Here ya go, Professor," she said as she gave it an underhand toss back to the man to use for the next person in line. Hopefully he'd catch it or, you know, use the same spell so as not to get wet himself. "Thanks for a great lesson." Turning, she grabbed her things and headed out the door.
