She got a bit closer to the dummy, all the while thinking that if this dummy was real, it would be a seriously messed up person. First thing was first. She'd heard what Trel had said about the possibility of pus flying everywhere. She quickly cast Impervius on herself. Now she was ready. She pointed her wand at the dummy's right ear, swirled her wand clockwise twice and jerked her hand back, while saying "Auris". Very quickly did pus fly everywhere. Ewww. She breathed a sigh of relief when the pus bounced off of her. Thank the heavens for repellent charms. And oooh, the ear had turned green. She grabbed a piece of parchment and quickly added something to her notes about being very careful when pulling back the wand and avioding jerky movements at all costs. Not like she could forget the sight of pus flying about. ugh. She turned to Kiri, hoping that no pus had gotten onto the girl. "Your turn", she said cheerfully, before grabbing her notes and reviewing the cat scratch cure.
Kiri gave a slight gulp. The girl's manner was... brisk. She felt the nervousness rising. What would happen if she cast the spell incorrectly and held up their practice? She glanced at the girl's face, but Camira had already turned, looking at the dummy with a calculating expression before putting the Impervius charm on herself. The Impervius charm! Kiri hastily pointed her wand at herself and managed to mutter "Impervius", just as Camira cast the Auris charm and pus began flying everywhere. She flinched, but her charm had apparently worked - as she touched her face quickly, she was relieved to find it was still dry.
And now it was her turn. Contrary to her first impression, Camira seemed to be in a good mood, and Kiri felt more secure when she stepped up to the dummy. Her hand was gripping her wand very tightly, and she loosened the hold a little as she practised the swirling movement that was required for the Auris charm to work properly. She breathed out deeply, then, said: "Auris!" Miraculously, it worked, and Kiri tried to hold her wand steady as she moved it away from the dummy's ear. A slight smile appeared on her lips, she had done it!
