All she had to do was stand by the castle she wanted to knock down and perform the spell which would then make a wave come and destroy the sand castle. It seemed easy enough. Now that Slytherin was out of the running, there were only red and yellow castles to choose from. She would start with a red one. Penelope firmly tapped her wand on her head. "Aquatraxi Gravita!" A wave came towards the red castle, knocking it over. Now for a second castle, another red this time. Penelope tapped her head with her wand to refresh the spell. "Aquatraxi Gravita!" The red sand castle was knocked over by a wave.
She was getting better at the spell with each castle she knocked over. This activity was actually fun, and so far she hadn't fallen in the lake or anything. Perhaps this really was going to be a good year for her in Flamsteed's class. What was this about a Ravenclaw strategy? Penelope walked over to the girl who had called the Ravenclaws over. A big wave? If they all clumped together near the yellow and red sandcastles, it might actually work. She wasn't so sure about the giant squid part of the plan, though. The spell might not work on the squid, and even if it worked she did not really want to get squished by a giant squid. Professor Flamsteed as well as other Hogwarts faculty wouldn't be pleased if all of the Ravenclaws were injured in an accident involving the giant squid. The squid wouldn't get that close to them, would it? Even if the squid part of the plan didn't work out, the big wave could still work.
