"No problem," Magnus said, "you clearly picked it up easily." Seeing Fade he said, "I think Fade might want a dancing partner." Giving Paddy a nudge he smiled hoping they would have fun.

"I'm sure your boyfriend would be proud, too. You've been quite the lady's man tonight." She nudged Max playfully. Sauvage plopped into a chair, feeling buzzed from the dancing. "Ooh, I'd love something to drink! Surprise me!"

When she noticed the troll, Sauvage jumped from her seat and yelled "Incarcerous!" Thick ropes ascended from Sauvage's wand and entrapped the troll but only lasted moments until the troll's brute strength ripped them apart. Trying to think quickly, she then said "Tarantallegra!" Causing the troll to break into an awkward jiggey for a few moment. Who wouldn't want to see a troll dance? Sauvage sat back down, feeling her job was now done and waited for Max to return.

Itachi was not done eating his food when he heard shaking from outside. Then the headmistress yelling to stay calm and then her casting a protective spell. Itachi then ran outside to see what the commotion was. Seeing a troll this size for the first time was fascinating to himself

Itachi stood behind the headmistress and pulled out his wand, went through his memory bank. Making sure sh doesn't pick one that would destroy this troll in a matter seconds, since she said only to knock out the troll he decided to help with the whole stopping him from moving even to the left or the right. The fist spell he picks is Colloshoo making him not move around anymore. He was excited to find out that it worked as soon as he castes it.

Going to cast his next spell he hears Poppy warn him about not using stunning spells. Changing his mind he uses a new spell that mind just do the trick to helping out in a way. Itachi then waves his wand speaking "Expelliarmus" in a matter of seconds the troll's piece of wood was sent flying back towards the forest.

Chook was taking a rest from all the dancing and having a long, cold drink with and , when she heard a loud roar and felt the ground tremble. Turning around she saw a large mountain troll, swinging a large branch above its ugly head.

Noticing what Spells sauvage had cast upon the troll, she quickly withdrawing her wand and shouted Confundus, and the troll began to act very confused and walk around in circles. Not being able to think clearly she raised her voice and yelled, Conjunctivitis, hoping that by damaging the troll's eyesight, it would be unable to target any of the others, giving someone the opportunity to dispense with it.

Ernessa turned, startled by loud noises coming from outside. 'It's a troll!' someone said as they ran by her, she followed them outside to investigate. It appeared as though everyone was working together to bring the troll down, so Ernessa thought she would help. She pulled her wand out and yelled 'Colloshoo!' hoping that if the trolls feet stuck to the ground it would make it easier to take out. Taking aim again Ernessa yelled 'Confringo!' and a shot of fire blasted out of the end of her wand and hit the troll in the stomach.

Max was about to get the drinks when he heard a roar. He spun around and saw a mountain troll. And it was very angry. Good thing he had his wand ready. "Incendio Tria." He shouted aiming at the trolls eyes blinding it and seeing it screech in pain aimlessly swinging the branch in every direction.

Max ran grabbed and got behind the safety of a table. He aimed the wand at the Troll again. "Locomotor Wibbly." He shouted the troll clearly struggled to not fall.

Spells are: "Incendio Tria and Locomotor Wibbly" Didn´t know how to bold sorry.

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KrP3xq.png[/img] Gaia was in the middle of drinking her butterbeer when the commotion started and the headmistress announce the troll. Gaia was happy she had invested in her thigh wand holder and being able to have her wand always close. () "I am going to see if I can help!" Gaia didn't wait for any response and took off to the forest edge wand at the ready. Having just learned a new charm she pointed her wand at the troll closer to the arm swinging the branch and yelled "Arresto Momentum!" in the hopes that slowing down the movement will allow the other spells to take place. Gaia took a moment and saw around her when Emmy () and Aderyn () had managed to get the branch away and weakened the troll. Gaia concentrated on the troll's feet and pointed her wand "Orbis!" The troll's feet where now under ground not being able to move much further.

OOH my!!! How frightening!

Good ones! Now that he is slowed down some.... if only I knew this bewitching sleep spell will work.... Consorpia eterna Professor Persnickety, ( )I don't know if this will work, I mean, I never heard it taught, I saw it on a footnote in a book I read in the library...

Poppy’s (@/poppet) idea about desert sounded like just what Fade needed. Pushing himself to his feet he was happily reaching for a sugary snack when the Forbidden Forest began to rumble and quake. As the troll emerged from the dark woods, Fade dropped the gooey sweet from his hand and paid no mind to where it landed on the table. Swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat, quickly he produced his wand and followed Professor Persnickety’s command.

Fade pointed his wand at the Troll's face and shouted “Impedimenta!” intending to keep the huge creature from coming any closer, followed closely by a carefully pronounced “Expelliarmus.” With any luck the hulking oaf would drop it’s club on top of it’s own head and knock it out so that it could be relocated or whatever it was they did with unconscious troll bodies.

Scanning the crowd of gathering professors and students, Fade hoped his friends would remain safe and that no one would end up in the hospital wing. Anyone aside from the Troll of course…

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/Persnickety2nd_1.png[/img]The troll seems to start to lose balance on its own feet, dizzy from the bombardment of spells. The headmistress hits it with a final knockback spell, and the troll tumbles to the ground with a resounding BOOM.

Professor Persnickety nodded once, then cast a spell to bind the troll with ropes.

"Well done, everyone! We seem to have finally knocked the poor thing out. Well, it seems to be getting late... you all best get back to the ball before it ends! Get in your last dances pronto!"

(OOC Note: Even though the troll is now knocked out, you are still able to send your spells by sMail to for credit until the ball ends tonight! Just as a reminder, all challenges are due tonight at 11:59PM, so have them in by then!)

Gaia returned to the ball looking for her date. He had been in the mass of students but she spotted his blue suit at once () "Care for a last dance before the Ball is over?" She curtsied and giggled.

Millie took a deep breath and let it go. She cleaned up the spilled drink off her dress and got two glasses of . She gave up being a perfect lady and chugged both drinks.

Sauvage heard what Professor Persnickety said about getting in those last dances, so she got up to find Fade (), unable to pick him out after the crowded chaos the troll left behind.

After finishing both her drinks, Millie yawned. She looked around and people seemed to be dazed after the troll was taken down. "Perhaps I better call it a night." Millie said to herself. She didn't feel like dancing anymore. She looked around for her friends so she could say good night to them & anyone else

Good night! Wasn't that fun?

"Good night! I had a blast!"

Sauvage ran up and hugged Millie before she left. "Hey, we are heading back to the same dormitories after all. Mind if I head out with you?"

Aderyn was relieved as the troll was finally knocked out. Leaving the professors to deal with it, she smiled at Emmy and her other friends.

"Good work, guys! We're awesome!"

Taking Emmy's hand, she gestured to the dance floor.

"One last dance before we head back to the school?"
