Ugh. Violet had gotten rather good at the new transfiguration spell, but found she was much less good at hitting moving objects. After her first miss, she opted to cast as many spells as possible versus waiting to aim at a particular one--she figured she had a better chance of beating the odds that way. But so far she had only managed to transfigure 3 out of 8 knives (and one of those hadn't even been heading toward the dummy she was protecting). "Bother!" she said to herself, as she aimed again, and actually hit the knife, though she admitted it had probably been by accident than by aim.
