Once Noel performed the counter course (hope you don't mind I quicken things up ) Nadia woke up, this time a bit faster - in fact, she sat up bolt right and stared around. Oh, right. DADA class, she thought as she stood and... Had she been drooling? This was starting to feel a bit... embarrassing. (And that said taking into account she didn't even know half of it.)

"Alright, my turn," she decided, or rather stated because it was indeed her turn. A mild suspicion that somebody had poisoned her wit Confussing Concoction came to mind. Next, she waved her wand-hand with the correct wand movement and a spell shot out of it towards Noel. And then she noticed.

Oh, drat, that had been a non-verbal spell.
