But he'd sort of let the ball drop in this his third year. Sort of. I mean, he did come to the Dueling Arena alone. Cutty watched as the dummy pulled itself together like an extremely self-sufficient Humpty Dumpty. "Yeah, Just trying to put to good use the things I've read about in books. You know, a little practical to the theory."
"Maybe it's what yer blowin' oop." Shame that. It was probably one of those spells that only worked where it had material to work with, like Rictemsepra, which Cutty imagined wouldn't be too effective on an inanimate object. The spells creation probably had a specific use in mind. Necessity was the mother of all invention afterall. "Engorgio!" He said aiming his wand at the dummy and growing it until it was roughly the size of bear.
Lex chuckled at Cutty's brilliant point. It was always better knowing a spell as opposed to being faced with a situation that required it but having no knowledge of how to proceed.
"Fair point. Even more reason to learn it then. 'Sides, I'll be of age once summer rolls around. I may not have anything to blow up at school but I can think of some good uses once I'm out of this place." She couldn't wait! It promised to be one of the best summers she'd had in a while.
And there was something. Looking to get some practice in.
"Yeah?" Lex regarded the Third Year with avid curiosity.
"What kind of spells you been reading about? Hexes? Curses? Defensive magic?" She didn't mind defense but the Gryffindor always felt better on the
offence. Nothing quite like a curse done proper inflicting damage the way it should to get your blood pumping.
The Prefect thought over his suggestion. What she'd been blowing up? A dummy, but she supposed it couldn't give off
that big an explosion just the way it was. Pity too, she was looking to entertain herself while she practice. Lex watched him enlargen the dummy once it was back in one piece then took aim again.
"Bombarda Maxima!" It wasn't quite the earth shattering effect she'd expected but it was far more impressive than the others so she'd take it.
"You know..." She said, now looking to him again,
"You could give those spells a shot if you want. I wouldn't mind sparring with you." Y'know, if he was up for it.
