EVASIVE MANOUVERS

Reducio

Jamie strived to be the best at everything, this meant that when she set her mind to something she would do it until she got it right and perfect. One of the things she had set her mind to was becoming very nimble, she would do drills with her dad to try and improve her reflexes and she would try to practice everyday by having someone throw something at her and trying to dodge it. It began with her handing her mom and dad a small soft ball each, which she told them to throw at her. They did, and they continued to do so under her request until she could evade them without too much effort. That escalated to her asking them to throw them at her without prior warning.

This proved to be more tricky, and she would get pelted with soft balls all the time. But her parents, who encouraged her to strive for greatness and to not stop until she achieved her goals, encouraged her to keep going. Although she didn't necessarily need their encouragement as she was set on doing this, but it was always nice to hear them telling her to not give up.

After a while she was able to dodge about half of them, mostly because she could seen them coming from the corners of her eyes. The ones that were launched from behind her she never was quite able to dodge, if she did it was mostly by accident and she didn't even know she'd been a target until it whizzed passed her.

So she kept training, and after even more time any time she could spot something a ball coming towards her trying to hit her she could dodge it. It had even become a second nature, that she wouldn't even realise she'd dodge it until she moved out of the way to let the ball pass her by.

Once she'd hit this point, she'd asked her parents to try launching other things at her, just to see if that went as well. They started throwing other soft stuff, but bigger or smaller to see if she could still dodge those. The bigger things she could see easier, but dodge harder due to the size. The smaller things on the other hand were easier to dodge but harder to see. But even those after a while became easier to see and easier to dodge.

Having been practising dodging for so long it had become second nature to her, and even now she had become a lot harder to hit than people might expect.

CHARMER

Reducio

A look here, a stare there, Jamie had noticed during her first year at Beauxbatons that it seemed like people where distracted by her as she walked through the school halls. She would use this to her full advantage though, sneaking past people as they would be too busy looking at her than to question why she was going the way she was going, being able to convince people to do something she wanted them to do. All things that worked to her advantage, and made her life ever so slightly easier at school.

Thinking back on life before school she had started remembering times this had happened before as well. Convincing the tutor to teach her things that she wasn't supposed to be learning about yet, or having an acquaintance take the fall for something she did. She hadn't realised she did it at the time, but now that she was aware of this power, her charm, as one might call it, it made her want to perfect it, to make sure that she could be the best that she could be whatever that might take.

So she started trying some things out, firstly seeing someone in the hallway she'd interacted with a few times and noticing that they were eating a few sweets. The perfect test subject. The bag was nearly empty signalling that they liked the sweets, and from the previous interaction Jamie knew that the person didn't share their food at all. So off she went, and she went to talk to them. Just regular small talk, with a bit of playfulness added in, and she noticed that immediately they seemed somewhat distracted during the conversation, maybe it was the jokes she threw in, or the way she said certain things that she knew they were interested in, but they were definitely less on guard than before. And before she knew it, she was walking away with a handful of the sweets they had been holding. Happily chomping away on them.

Of course, one test wouldn't be enough, so she decided to test it during a Quidditch match. She talked to all of the opponents beforehand, being friendly and confident with them, her opponents gladly talking with her. Asking them what they liked and overal being quite charming. Which meant that during the match, when one of her opponents had the quaffle and was attempting to get to the goal to score, and she went after them getting right in their space and smiling, reciting something they'd said during the conversation prior to the match, a small smile spreading across her opponents face. Distracting them just enough for her to snatch the quaffle out of their hands and passing it to her teammate, leading to her team scoring.

All in all, she had come to the conclusion that if she was confident, nice, charming and used the information others gave her to her advantage she could pretty much get anything she would need. Something would require more effort than others of course, but to be the best she would do that no questions asked.
