"Good job, Tobias!" BEAM. Now if she could just slow down this next one, they could move on.
"Ready!" And she appreciated the warnings so he got a smile too.
Ella watched the ball as it came closer and concentrated hard on slowing it down. She then waved her wand and said clearly as she could, "Arresto Momentum!" SQUINT.
And it was going slow! Still moving and all but not fast enough to do any real harm and that was the whole point, yeah? The seventeen year old watched it for a minute before plucking it out of the year and smiling triumphantly at the younger badger. BEAM!
"Time to stop it now! Here it comes!" TOSS!
Aw yeah. Good job. ANYONE ELSE HEAR THAT? TOBY did GOOD.
Homestretch now, and a good idea not to get distracted. Tobias grinned at Ella's spellwork and gave her a double thumbs up.
"Awesome!" Like, awesome job, you know? Were second years supposed to comment on sixth years' spell prowess? Ahh, too late now. MOVING ON.
Stop the ball.
Super Simple Stuff.
"Arresto Momentum!" Tobias said the incantation and gave a waaaave of his wand willing for the ball to just stop, none of that complicated SLOWING DOWN nonsense. And it WORKED. Well... of course it did. Stopping was the part he kind of did by default SO YEAH GOOD TIMES.
"Sweet! Okay, your turn."
Ample warning, right? Toby grabbed the ball from the air and threw it in Ella's direction with the exact same force that he'd used all the other times.
Which made him think.
Toby waited until Ella cast her spell before he spoke.
"Can you throw it harder this time please?" MAYBE PLEASE? He even took a couple of steps back as well. PLEASE ELLA PLEASE. I WANNA TEST MY SKILLS.
Puppy dog eyes c'mon RESIST MEEEEEEEE.
