Carl heard what Mel said and knew that the spell he deflected had not met its target. The pumpkin head nickname though? He could not help but grin. Funny, he should be a pumpkin for the next Halloween. The next thing she said made him confirm the decision. "Don't you think I look better with my icy hair?" He joked. When she fired the Colloshoo spell, he jumped high up and the spell hit the ground where his feet were only a second ago. Close call!
The Hufflepuff continued to listen for Mel's voice. It was a good thing that he could hear well, because then he could tell where she was. "Protego!" He cast, defending the attack, and then immediately afterwards, "Impedimenta!" Hopefully this time, his aim would be more accurate.
