Okay... the first protection spell you will need to learn is Expelliarmus. It is very simple and always handy for dueling. The purpose of this spell is to disarm your opponent. If used correctly, your opponent's wand should fly out of his/her hand. All you do is point your wand at the opposition and shout, "Expelliarmus!" Easy enough, right? The second spell is Impedimenta. It doesn't exactly protect you, but it does slow down your opponent, giving you more time to hit them with a spell. For this spell, do the same thing as Expelliarmus, but instead shout, "Impedimenta!". Got it? The next spell is the Protego spell. When used correctly, this spell will send your opponent's spell back at them. It acts as a shield for you. The incantation is, "Protego!". Now that you have the basics down, I want each of you to post a creative essay (3+ paragraphs) using each spell we just learned. |

After watching and listening to QM's instructions I went up to one of the others taking part in our tutoring session. When she agreed to be my partner we took up a postion with plenty of space around us, so not to trouble or be troubled by other practising pairs. standing several paces apart, we faced each other and as agreed we took turns at trying the disarming spell. Raising her wand she cried out expelliarmus!, and I felt a very srong pull from my wand as it tried to leave my hand. Holding on as tightly as I can I just managed to keep it. Now it's my turn, I raised my wand and pointing it at her, I focused on the wand "Expelliarmus!!!", the wand wavers as she tried not to let go. I don't think that counts as disarming, I'm sure she only dropped it :( . Once again I face her as she tried again. This time its a more controlled tone "Expelliarmus!!". My wand does not hesitate, it jerked free of my hand and flew across the room. "Well done, I hope I can get it right too". Retrieving my wand, I walked back to face her yet again. Clear your head now and concentrate, I thought to myself as I raised my wand to take my turn. Pointing my wand I look squarely at hers, "Expelliarmus!!" Her wand flew out of her hand just as mine had. As she went off to pick up her wand I started thinking about our second and third spells. We both thought about it and decided once again to take turns One will do the Impedimenta while the other tries to stop it with the protego protection spell. That should give us good reason to get the protection spell right!! It was my turn to do the protection spell, I raised my wand and "Protego!" just as a shimmering silvery cloud began to form around me her impedimenta spell hit. It couldn't have got completley through because just as I slipped to my knees, my partener also staggered forward. I managed to return some of the spell. Time to change tasks, and I have learned that I have to not only be accurate, but fast. "Impedimenta!!!" A golden mantle had barely had time to cover her face when the spell hit her. She slipped soundlessly to the floor. Shaking her head, she assured me she was alright as she prepared to take her second turn. Immediately I raised my wand "Protego!!!" the shimmering silver cloud formed again and a soft shining silver fabric seems to be all around me before her spell could hit it. Rebounding from my shield the spell knocked her off her feet once again. We decided to continue until she too could master both spells, we both gt some lumps for our trouble but it was worth it :) . |
