She wasn't complaining though. She'd rather keep doing so rather than read something boring that would eventually cause her to sleep. Besides, it was easy to pick up other people's wand movements since the arena was quite packed.

She spotted Lex and Dora at the other end. No time to talk and chat. She had dummies to disarm. Or attempt to anyway. Lex would be appalled if she found out Cassia had pretty much forgotten this charm's wand move.

Her attention was on the wand and dummy when she heard someone talk near her. Her eyes followed the source of the voice until they rested on the Hufflepuff captain. A smile tugged at the fifth-year's lips. "Hello," she greeted back the sixth year. Did Ella witness Cassia's failures? Well, the other blond wasn't laughing which was a very good sign.

Partner! Yes!

"I'm not waiting for anyone," she told her lowering her wand. for now. "Sure, I could use someone to practice with me," because practicing on a dummy wasn't really very helpful. She was almost sure that she wasn't going to face dummies in her life that might be threatening. The fifteen minutes she had with the dummy were quite enough. "I'll go first." The Slytherin girl offered clutching her wand tighter and giving Ella time to compose and get ready. Not much time. Ahem. Life was tough.

"Expelliarmus!" Now it was time to see if she'd gotten the movement right.
Partners then? Cool. Ella approved and she gave the Slytherin a smile when she said she'd go first. "Fine by me." And the badger quickly got into position, wand at the ready. Only not ready enough, apparently.

Cassia had cast her spell probably a second sooner than Ella had anticipated because before she knew it, the captain's wand had flown from her hand. Well that was impressive, yeah? "Well done." Really. "My turn."

The seventeen year old wasted no time and quickly bent to retrieve her wand. She didn't wait to cast the spell, either. From the crouching position she aimed and said clearly, "Expelliarmus!"
