 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Well. Crisis AVERTED. Ash had a guardian angel on her shoulder. It was called "fear of death" and it shut her down when she was coming close to dying. Because you see, she wasn't afraid of the pain of death, but rather the unfinished business she would leave behind. Her guardian angel had saved her loads of times. Thank goodness she was released. Uncomfortable though. See, when someone is yanking your head back like that, and then suddenly lets go and shoves you in the opposite direction, you don't do a very dignified exit. She slammed her hip into a desk, hard. She pretended that that hadn't happened though, and instead rubbed her chin, where there was probably a red or blue mark from the wand. Ouch. She ignored it though. Even the most undignified maneuver could look cool if you just pretended like it was fine. Ash was happy to practice on dummies. Not that she had ANY ill will against muggles, but she did have to release her pent-up rage in a safe manner. Therefore she faced a singular dummy. Shaped vaguely like her. Of course, inwardly she was pretending it was Rosier, but she hardly said it aloud. She practiced the wand motions a couple times. Feeling confident, she turned back to the dummy. "Bombarda." Apparently she was feeling very angry, because the bombarda she threw was... well, it was strong. She took a step back and threw a couple more.
