Really well done

Harry and Hydra! That was well snitch the way you took down the Professor like that. I can tell you were practising over the holidays.

Professor Hooch looked surprised, too, didn't she?

It's not easy to work in pairs, either. I mean, Parvati and I have a sort of advantage being twins, but we still have to practise if we're going to do something in coordination, like the movement for Nagini and that.

Anyway, it was really well done, especially you, Hydra. You make a nift team.

You know, I thought at first that he was letting them take him down, and maybe he was in the beginning, but that first time they didn't have an effective combination, he really took advantage, didn't he?

I thought the blinding spell in combination with a leg-locker was smart, but that vertiginous hex together with the one that made his wrists unhinge was more thorough. Harder to pull off, though.

Teddy's made that vortex hex his signature move, so we stuck with that and I added Petrificus Totalis. Did you see us set Crabbe spinning like a top?

What did you come up with?

Well, I think our most elegant combination was a tongue-tying hex paired with a butterfinger jinx. But Parvati had a good turn when she cast the Jelly-Legs just at the same time that I tried the knee-reversal. I think hers hit just before mine did because mine seemed to just miss, probably because Finnigan's knees were all wobbly.

Of course, having good aim helps. It doesn't do any good to cast a really nift spell and have it hit the window sashes! I think that was Dunstan's problem. She's got good technique but I doubt she could hit the broad side of the Great Hall!
