Slietly groaning, Alex thought to herself. Why in the world didn't she wait just a bit longer for when the Professot was going to say the could practice the spell? Whatever, it was too late now, the damage was done. Surely there was a way to win five points back to Slytherin.

She placed the broken quill on top of her desk. While Rae wasn't talking, so she didn't come off as rude, she grabbed her wand and muttered "Reparo!" under her breath, her wand pointing at the quill on her desk. Once the quill repaired itself, Alex nodded shortly at the Professor. She was always ready to try out new spells.

Upon hearning the Professor's instructions, Alex tried the wand motion. She started the the left-hand corner and flicked it three times, in a triangular shape. She did it over and over until she got the hang of it.

"Erm, Professor ... are we practicing with partners again?" she asked Rae, giving her a blank look and blinking stupidly. Wouldn't it be a bit -- dangerous? Whatever, surely Professor Rae knew what she was doing.
