Well, that was interesting

I wonder how long it'll take someone to actually land something that will properly hit Professor Desai? It was interesting to see who tried for it, and when, and who was holding back, or only taking shots at fellow students.

Linus, you should make a chart or something.

And go Milli! That was quite bold of you. Too bad Ron got your wand. I hope the counter hexes kicked in properly.

It's a funny thing in an exercise like the one today. There's a good reason to go verbal once the hexes start getting thick in the air: if you want credit for the ones you land, it helps if the teacher heard you cast it.

But, yeah, I spent a lot of time this summer practising nonverbal casting. You don't get accepted to the programme if you can't already do it at a high level--complex spells under challenging conditions.
