Hitame knew that she was in over her head by challenging Sophia, but she wasn't about to back down. Whether she knew it or not, she was a Gryffindor and she was definitely her parent's daughter. They didn't give up on anything they set their minds too and Hitame wasn't going to give up on this. "If you don't challenge anyone stronger than you, you'll never get stronger!" she said smirking. "Don't underestimate me Sophia." she half hissed at the older girl.
As she saw the fireball that was sent at her, Hitame hesitated and her hand shook slightly. "Protego!" she called quickly, unknowing of what the spell did. In the back of her mind, the knowledge of magic she had was still there, she just wasn't able to remember it just like that. The fireball hit the shield that had been formed before her and wile her spell was able to keep it from hitting her directly, Hitame was sent almost flying backwards and the cuffs of her shirt were a bit burned. "Expelliarmus!" She flicked her wand at Sophia's quickly. Hopefully it could do something to her, but she knew Sophia was right. Stupefy was probably the only spell she could use that would be able to do anything to her, maybe.
