Vianna watched as Ned turned invisible, but she was soon distracted as Perry returned to the hallway. "Dammit," the young girl muttered under her breath before pulling out her wand. She levitated a painting that rested on the wall for a moment before letting it drop very suddenly to the floor, causing its frame to shatter and the painting inside to fold a bit. She hoped Perry would stop and turn back to check on this and give Victor and Ned a little more time to get away.

Victor now lowered his broom and landed somewhere near Ned's invisible feet, pointing his wand up at the larger boy and performing the Reducio spell on him so that they were now both the same tiny height. "I'm right in front of you, climb on the broom," Victor instructed.
