"It also slows targets down - it doesn't always immediately stop," Archelaus corrected without really realizing it. Why was he always unexpectantly teaching this girl things? He wasn't even assigned to tutor her in anything so why bother. He had no idea, it just seemed to happen.
"Hogwarts teaches wandless magic - just not to younger years," Archelaus said with a laugh. "Mostly to NEWT grades." Wordless and wandless magic were NEWT level spells so it would make sense she would assume it wasn't taught, he supposed. "It didn't feel like a spell though, thinking of it. It felt... like something else."
Archelaus eyed her when she said she originally wanted to be a seeker. That was what he was and he wondered how she would have done. She was pretty tall for her age so it was probably best that she had ended up a chaser. "Obviously, I'm intent on beating you so I can't truthfully say 'good luck'."
