But instead, she was whispered at.

Oh.

DERF!

"Hiiiiii!" she waved at him, still moving her feet up and down lots. "Okay! 'Cept I mostly forgot what we have to do," she shrugged as her feet came to an abrupt stop. Oh wait. Her plan was to not practice. Dang it. Derf had somehow managed to lure her out of her plan. She really needed to work on that. Oops.

Oh, well! Maybe practice could be fun too.

Thankfully for both of them HE had not forgotten, but continued to jog in place along side Zoryn anyway. "We haff to manage a S-Shield Charm," he nodded. Step one anyway. He had not yet noticed that his friend had stopped jogging, thus he continued while pondering their practice over a bit. The incantation was not a difficult one so he ought to be able to manage it without any REAL difficulties. "Maybe I can try cas-s-sting on you and you on me?" he suggested with a small shrug of the shoulder. Something about using the spell on another person made this particular charm easier to manage.

Stopping only because fishing his wand from his pocket was harder while moving - mostly because Scamander had taken a liking to curling himself around the holster - the Hufflepuff pointed his wand directly at Zoryn's nose. "Me firs-st!" he chirped, giving his wand a humble flourish before giving the incantation a go. "PROTEGO!"

Oh, how Hirsch was glad that someone had brought up the shield charm he'd put up earlier. The wide smile on his face said it all. "I cast another spell that makes an object zap, or in some cases burn, you when you touch it. Excellent observation!"

Turning his attention away from his own spell being cast - oops? Yay? Nay? - the blonde looked towards the professor and gave a firm nod of affirmation. "Kind of...a really really NEAT illustration of defens-s-se being your best offens-s-se!" Literally.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Tricksy professor. Derf was just about to ask a follow up to that - because naturally now he was curious as to WHAT the other spell was - but it seemed it was time for things to move along...

Leaving them to it, Hirsch moved away towards the part of the classroom where the tables had been. Upon his approach, he cast away the shield charm - didn't want to be zapped, that would be embarrassing - and levitated the tables towards the students. Some came to a rest before one line of the students and the others directly opposite and in front of the other. Perfect.

Approaching the two sides and [S]stupidly[/I] standing right in he very middle, Hirsch called for everyone's attention again. "Okay, so the task is simple:" There was a short pause while he flicked his wand at the various tables. At once, the cloth covering the objects lifted away, revealing lots and lots of food. Enough to feed everyone in the room five times over, in fact.

"Food fight!" Was he proud of himself? He was.

"Some rules, though: you have to use Fianto Duri and a shield charm to defend yourself. Otherwise you'll be covered in food which is not the best of fashion choices." Was that a good joke?

No?

Carry on.

"Three....... two........ one......." Let him move away quickly. "Let the battle commence!"

FOOD FIGHT?!

HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS!

While the purpose of this exercise was to protect oneself first and attack after, the Hufflepuff made a beeline for the food on the RIGHT SIDE of the room and grabbed a few fists full of food - some spaghetti and a few dinner rolls. HE WAS READY FOR ACTION! And not at all concerned about getting a bit messy.

Drag on the eeee sound, percussive sounds to follow. Fianto Duri. Almost like poetry.

"Fianto Duri," she cast the spell on her shield charm and jumped up and down when it did that neat-o blue-white flash. That was cool. Hirsch... this was cool. Credit where it was due.

"Someone throw something at me!!"

"I WILL I WILL!" he chirped eagerly, jumping up and down in place and waving his arms so she was sure to know that her request had not fallen on deaf ears.

Here, have a dinner roll. Or two. And some spaghetti!
