It seemed the security of the cushioning charm had given Alice whatever reassurance she needed to perform the spell correctly. Her wrist flick found him shooting upwards and subsequently dangling in the air upside down, as if a troll had decided to swing him about by his ankle. While he, at first, appeared surprised (although, who wouldn't?), Ned's face soon broke into a wide, proud grin.

"Well done!" He blurted out, batting at the necktie that slapped him in the face. So thrilled by her success, Ned would scarcely mind if she accidentally dropped him upon his head, at this point. "Not that you need to, but I am inclined to note that moving your wand about will move me. It may be useful if you're ever in a bind and have need to ensure a less than kind fellow meets a brick wall with his nose." He smirked at that, but it was a teasing look. Ned figured it was something he should mention, just in case his friend found herself in a sticky situation.

(Since you made me choose, I rolled a die. :-p But fortune favored Alice!)
