This time it was Ron who sent the first spell, Expulspo. He aimed it at Hermione’s legs. Hermione was able to jump back to avoid direct impact, but the force of the spell made her stumble backwards. Harry took the opening to send his own spell, another Expelliarmus, but with much more force behind it. Hermione managed to block it, but it nearly broke her wrist. Harry and Ron began to hurl spell after spell at her with much more intensity than before. She was being overwhelmed, and pushed back, fast. Her eyes went wide, realizing she couldn’t very well keep this up, so she did the next best thing.
