Rightful HeirSmart. At least he was clever enough not to let the pieces of wall fall on any other students, that’s why I had aimed them specifically towards Alex. But I didn’t have time to react to it by nodding, he was going to set me on fire! What the hell kind of game was he playing? I put up a “protego” around myself, and not a moment too soon it seemed. The jerk was doing a feint, trying to cast something else at me instead. Thankfully, it bounced off my shield. I could see his mouth moving however, and quickly shot off a “sonorus,” magnifying his voice.
It worked. All the students in the room and Professor Flitwick heard him say “Reflectus Totalus.” I had to laugh out loud, the peals of laughter echoing on the ceiling.
“Cute,” I said. “Shouldn’t let me see your mouth moving if you don’t mean to cast.” I raised my wand intending to cast a jinx at him, but Professor Flitwick stepped up onto the platform between us, clearing his throat.
“Thank you for the demonstration, both of your skills are commendable. Especially the nonverbal spells. Let’s allow someone else to duel now, shall we?” the dwarf said, not making it sound like a choice.
I stomped down, not daring to catch Alex’s eye. In fact, I didn’t stay in the hall at all. I traipsed right through the halls, back to the common room, up the stairs, and opened the door into my dormitory. I didn’t intend to see him again tonight. Not if I could help it.
