Here And There And Everywhere

*stares out the Great Hall window into a wall of dampness*

Fog?? Heh -- one must expect such things during spring in Scotland. It'll be a challenge, getting to class through the outer portions of the castle. We'll probably have to use Point Me to get down to the creature shed for COMC

*walks to the courtyard, noticeably nervous*

G-Gai-sensei...? Are you here...?

I wonder if Gai-sensei knows...

[proudgreenauror]

*waves his wand and a patch of fog clears between him and Lee; tendrils of mist swirl about their ankles*

Right on time. *smiles*

We're working on defense today -- specifically DADA drills to supplement your training with Professor Constantine. Are you ready?

[truetensai]

*breathes a sigh of relief*

...Ah, yes, Gai-sensei...I-I am ready...

...Thank you very much.

[proudgreenauror]

*fistpump with the hand that isn't holding his wand* That's the spirit, Lee!

*battle grin; takes two steps forward as the fog surrounds them again; lecturing voice is muffled, and his ghostly shape can barely be seen*

Consider this scenario. You stand in a strange place, facing a wizarding foe. You know as much as he does about what he can do, and your only option is to take him down.

*wand hand comes up; they're about ten yards apart* Now -- make your first move!!

[['Knows'? Should Gai be watching for something in Lee's performance?]]

[truetensai]

*eyebrows furrow*

I must not make my presence known...

*waits for potential upcoming spell and avoiding the trees, quickly ducks beneath the mist, pulls out wand for whatever reason...*

[[Lee has a little secret that some people may not approve of ^^]]

[proudgreenauror]

*calculating a few likely paths for Lee to have taken, carefully orienting himself and watching for movement in the fog*

*senses a gust of wind, as though something just moved; turns in a flash toward where Lee might have gone*

Expelliarmus!!

[[Ah. Should Gai get involved at this point?]]

[truetensai]

*rolls over in a split-second as the spell hits an area barely a foot away from him, and conceals self behind a tree*

That was close...

*ponders whether or not he should shout a spell, which may not work for him, or keep his presence hidden and remain safe for some time*

[[Gai is always involved. Even when he thinks he isn't. Because Gai is Gosh. XD]]

[proudgreenauror]

*waits for a moment, but doesn't hear anything besides the spattering sound of the spell hitting a tree; slips forward through the mist, then holds out a twig, as far from himself as he can reach, and snaps it in two -- making a sound like an unwary footstep*

[truetensai]

*wanting to cast a spell, but not knowing whether it would work or not, stays put. Holds wand to chest, closes eyes and whispers something to self, barely audible to even himself, a small voice then escapes from behind a tree to Gai's left...*

Ouch...!

[proudgreenauror]

*snaps around, heart thumping -- did Lee somehow get under the Whomping Willow? But he could have sworn it was in the other direction....*

*risks speaking aloud, stepping to one side immediately afterward* ..Lee?

[truetensai]

*eyes widen in shock* What...? You mean it...

*steps out immediately from behind a tree on the opposite side, armed with wand, quickly points at Gai and yells- *

Incarcerous!!

...it worked??

[[Italics = thoughts. Lee is referring to a spell that he uttered prior to stepping away from the tree, not the Incarcerous spell (which may fail)]]

[proudgreenauror]

*lunges to one side as something rushes past through the air, thinks* Was that a spell!? Excellent, Lee -- you're getting more powerful by the minute -- by the SECOND!!

*rolls to his feet and casts Rictusempra, the tickling jinx, at the source of the yell*

[[Hope that's okay. Up to you whether what flew over Gai's head was a spell.]]

[truetensai]

*darts out of the way of the flash and hides behind another tree*

Rictusempra? What is that?!

[[OMG WIN. That has to hit Lee sometime in the near future...XD]]

[proudgreenauror]

*saw his shadow against the glare of the spell, creeps round towards the tree*

[[XDDD YES.]]
