Well, that round had gone better than he expected it to.

He couldn’t recall what Mr. Sinnet had decided to throw at Miss Gallivan this time around, but whatever it was hit the young girl, sending her stumbling backward. In fact the same was true for Miss Ilkin, who was pushed backward into when Miss MacFusty’s spell hit as it should. At least Miss Gallivan and Miss Ilkin were on opposite sides or they might have collided. “Good job!” Gus said to them, giving a small nod of approval.

It seemed everyone else had gone for the same spell – Expelliarmus. Miss Eade was able to throw up her shield, causing the spell to sizzle harmlessly against the stone wall behind her. Miss Flint, too, was successful against Miss Shacklebolt, keeping her wand in her hand. Mr. Escher wasn’t as lucky, as Mr. Hutton’s spell hit its mark and sent his wand flying across the room.

“Excellent work everyone. One more round before we go over your homework.” Gus was very proud of them and the effort they were putting in. He knew which students would need the extra help, and he could focus on them as the year went on.
