The actual spell he used was not super important, right? They had only learned the tracking spell because it would be helpful in hitting a moving target. But did the spell itself actually do anything? It was just a tracking spell, wasn't it? Or had he misunderstood? That was likely.

Olly figured he should probably do something, rather than just sit under a table for the rest of the lesson. But he did not want to get hit with a snitch. And he didn't know how to do the tracking spell. So it should be interesting to say the least.

He waited for a moment, watching the snitches fly around the room. As one of them came close, he readied himself. He was crouched on the ground and leaped. Olly grabbed a snitch in his hand. Well, it couldn't hit him but he still had to do something with it. He stepped on the wing with one foot so it couldn't get away, and held his wand out toward the snitch. But what kind of spell was he supposed to cast? Technically none of them would actually do anything to it. But what was considered correct for the purposes of this activity?

"Stupefy." The spell hit the trapped snitch and he heard a small dinging sound. Did that mean he'd done it right? Tentatively, Olly lifted his foot. The snitch did not fly toward him, but instead flitted lamely off to the side. Alright then.
