N.E.W.T. Class - Lesson 8

Belle had listened to the Professor once more insult Mari and she bit the inside of her cheek to keep from speaking out. She would not allow him the satisfaction of taking points from her house because she couldn't stand the way he thought he was better then everyone or how he just knew everything. So she instead turned to her two partners determined to get the lesson over with.

"I shall go first so that we may get this over with." She turned back to the corpse...because as far as she was concerned that was what it was. She removed her wand from the holster on her right thigh and stepped back. She pointed her wand at the thing, "Relashio." She said.

Belle then watched as the blast of heat that had just come from her wand to cover the torso of the thing in intense burns and blisters. She turned to the other two, "Now one of you can heal it."

Sophia laughed to herself when she seen Suzannah get ten points from Slytherin and had to write a five page essay over what they were learning today. Sophia bit her tongue from keeping herself from telling him off for insulting Marian who was her best friend since childhood. "Um... Professor, who am I paired with?"Sophia asked him softly as she looked around the class hoping not to get paired with Suzannah. Her and Suzannah hated each other guts and they get in a fight every time they see each other. Sophia sat in her chair and looked at everyone else doing spells and healing there dummy.

''What? Another unpaired child? And the daughter of our Minister! That is just not right, is it? Well, I can't do anything about it. Pair up with whomever you want, just do your task.'', he said. 'Queen Anne, good job. Now, cast your spell at the dummy.'', he added

Mariana was taking deep breath in order to not explode because Wilson was crossing every limit of curteousy. If her eyes could kill they certainly would. "Here Sophi come and work with my highness." she called her rooling her eyes as her nerves were calming down a bit once Professor wasn't opening his mouth. Her wand was pointed at the dummy once again, but this time not to heal him. "Sectumsempra!" she said sending a ray of green light towards the helpless dummy.

"Yes Professor."said Sophia getting up from her chair and walking towards Mariana with her wand in her hand. Looking at the dummy Mariana seen her do she looked at her. "May I Mari?"Sophia asked her softly just about to heal the dummy so it would be her turn. Sophia wanted Professor to think she wasn't worthless and that she was trying to get herself out of doing the task. She waited for Mariana to answer as she looked at the dummy who stomach was torn into pieces. Sophia thought of a healing spell she could use but she waited for Mariana to say that shecould it was rude to go without asking.

"You have my blessing peasant!" Mariana replied to Sophia still playing the role of Queen Ann hoping Sophia would only take it as a joke since it was never meant to be anything else. She pointed her wand towards another dummy "Sectumsempra!" she called out cutting the second dummy so Arthur wouldn't stay without his healing target after Sophia would heal hers.

Arthur took his wand and pointed it at the dummy. ''Vulnera Sanentur'', he said, healing the first group of wounds. They were on his chest and arms. The other two groups were on his feet and his neck. His face managed to stay intact. He repeated the spell two more times and helped the dummy to get on its feet. He pointed his wand at it. ''Stupefy'', he shot at his knee. The spell was casted so vehemently that it broke the dummy's knee, which was his goal. ''Sorry for bursting in, but I like to get my tasks done as fast as I can. But, I have cast a spell for you to neutralize. This should be an interesting one.'', he said, smiling.

"Thankyou Greatness."said Sophia bowing deeply playing along with her joke as Queen Ann. Laughing to herself she smirked at Mariana and pointed her wand to the dummy and thought. " Vulnera Sanentur." as the dummy healed itself. "Sectumsempra!" Sophia shouted out loudly as seen it cut off the dunny's arm which made her smile. "There you go Mari, your turn once again!"said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile.

Mariana looked as Arthur blasted a spell at one of the dummies not sure what do you use once you get hit by stunning spell apart from Finite. Though that wasn't on Professor's list. "Episkey!" she said pointing top of her wand at dummy's knee waiting to see if it worked while she turned to the other dummy hit by Sophia with her wand pointed at its head. "Vulnera Sanentur" she said healing the dummy successful enough turning to both dummies thinking of which to slice first. "What's the spell again...Oh right! Diffindo" she said pointing her wand first at Arthur's then at Sophia's dummy using the same spell twice. "Go ahead my loyal servents. The Queen has spoken!" she said bowing her head slightly wondering for how much more this would last.

The other two were slacking and Belle was in no mood to have Wilson after her because the other two were slacking so she quickly healed the dummy then turned to the Professor. "Not to be pushy Professor, but I hope my grade will not count on these two since neither one is getting with the program."
