The tiny first year felt his face get warm and colour a bright red with embarrassment as the Scary Headmaster's response, although he wasn't sure why. It wasn't like he was going to give a REAL answer, Cal mentally reminded himself. Just behave and be as invisible if you can.

Cathal only looked up when Scary Headmaster mentioned what they'd be practicing and noticed the change of scenery. He frowned seeing the dummies now moving along a promenade, how were they supposed to practice on people????? Not real people, he reminded himself, dummies, who looked awfully real and like they were having a grand time.

He shook his head trying to rid himself of the thought of practicing these things on actual people and paid attention to the Scary Headmaster. Today wasn't the day to have to ask for extra instructions.

Clearing his throat, Cal raised his wand, his wand-hand trembling while he clutched his other hand. Was practicing magic this scary even with a nice teacher? He took note of what Atlas, or Aries, he wasn't sure, one of them anyway, was doing and nodded to himself. A dry run, that was a good idea.
Trembling wand and all, Cal practiced the wand movement a few times. Around him he could hear others managing the spell already, some more successful than the others.
After a dozen or so triangles made in the air Cathal felt somewhat calmer, his hands no longer trembling. Now or never, wasn't it?
He took a deep breath before finally attempting it. "Bombarda!"
A very faint spark spluttered out of his wand and disappeared almost immediately. But it was something! Cal smiled to himself, ever so briefly forgetting about Scary Headmaster and giving it another try.

"Bombarda!" A bigger spark appeared this time and he thought he heard the faintest of cracks too!!!!!
