Okay, one quesiton in and Avalon hadn't gotten detention or an essay assignment yet. That was a good sign, at least. Trent didn't seem to totally hate her answer. But she was a little miffed that he seemed to be turning Charms into another Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

"If the ledge was too high for either of these charms, I'd use Alarte Ascendare to launch the creature into the air. It'd at least buy me a few seconds to think of my next move." Although it was highly unlikely that she'd ever be in a situation where she could only use those two spells. The Ravenclaw had to appreciate Claudine's bravery in pointing that out. "No use in using Ascendio, since you couldn't reach the ledge with it. It could just provoke the creature even more." As for what she'd do after she sent the creature flying? No idea. Probably run away or try to hide.
