"Expelliarmus!" Severus demonstrated on a wood figure causing its 'wand' to go flying from its grasp.

"Position yourself and speak clearly." Severus instructed.

Lucy moved to stand before the practice dummy.
"Expelliarmus!" she called. Nothing. No reaction.
"Expelliarmus!" She repeated. Nada.

"With feeling." Severus directed.

Lucy nodded in acknowledgement. Focusing on the wooden model, "Expelliarmus!" The 'wand' that was really just a wood stick clattered on the floor.

"Next you'll practice on moving targets." Severus informed her before pressing a switch on the dummy causing it to move.

Every time Lucy successfully disarmed the wooden dummy it would move faster and in a less predictable way.

After a tiresome hour and a half Severus concluded their training session, proud of Lucy's progress, not that she knew that.
