Adi blinked once, twice, thrice.

GREATMAJESICHIPPOGRIFFS! Were his eyes deceiving him?

The right hand of his dummy had actually stopped moving! Forget about the dummy wobbling on one leg and flailing one hand, Adi had just succeeded for the first time when it came to a non verbal spell! "I did it, I did it!'' he sing songed to himself and doing a little dance. Nobody mind him. He is and always will be cray- cray.

But YAY for non verbal spells! Wheeeee!

Buuuuut it was time to get back to the task at hand. Calm down, Adi! "Manus Invisibilis!'' Cue the twist to the right and the forward thrust. Okay, so that didn't go as planned. "Manus Invisibilis!'' With more focus and intent, he repeated the wand movement at the other hand... which stopped moving promptly. This got the Puffer practically jumping. All that practice he had been doing earlier in the school year was FINALLY paying off!

There was just one more joint to aim at. "Manus Invisibilis!'' The same steps were repeated for the left leg. Now he had a completely still wooden dummy. And the world had an extra, extra happy Aditya Rehman.
