Spell: Flipendo Duo
Incantation: fli-PEN-doh doo-OH
Wand Movement: A tick stroke with a curved tail at the end
"I could show you but I don't think that'd be safe. So yeah, that's all. I can't wait till I can do some global dueling tournaments!" Oliver beamed, then energetically skipped out of the room. He didn't need a reply, just someone to talk to.

"So yeah! I cast a Flipendo Duo! Right down by the lake. It was so big! It even sent me back on my bum!" Oliver laughed, his chin echoing his jaws movement. He was standing right before Professor Risa after their class. He often stayed back just to ask questions or update her. Whether she cared, Oliver surely well thought so! He was a really big fan of her since she held his favourite class. It was the only class he'd ever put his hand up for and try answer questions. Oliver put a hand on his wand hand inside his left sleeve. Within was a custom wand sheath so, pulling tricks from right under sleeves was really never expected!In the forest, Oliver spent countless hours reading long past his current curriculum's studies, he was way into next years spells and monsters. It was autumn now, Oliver wore a thick, cotton jacket, a puffy scarf, big mittens and a fat hat pulled down to his brows. If he wasn't round enough, he definitely looked like a big puff now. His nose and cheeks were red from the chill nipping at them and he had a sniffle that he didn't hold back on. He revised the book another time, having failed to achieve any successful casting all morning.
With his closed, Oliver inhaled deeply, filling up his chest. He held onto everything that made him strive so far and disconnect himself from most contact. He thought about everyone who was pushing him down and wanting him to fail in life. He wouldn't fail. He'd never fail!
"FLIPENDO DUO!"
Oliver chanted and performed the double tailed wave of his wand. With a brighter light than any spell he'd ever cast (besides lumos), a flash shot out. It was hurled right into the ground, where on impact it sent dirt and leaves flying in a huge circumference.
Oliver shielded his eyes from all the soil flying at him and the wave of force that followed sent Oliver back on his bum.
"Wohoho... epic!" he grinned, clenching his fish around his wand and pumping it by his face.
"I could show you but I don't think that'd be safe. So yeah, that's all. I can't wait till I can do some global dueling tournaments!" Oliver beamed, then energetically skipped out of the room. He didn't need a reply, just someone to talk to.

As mentioned in another place (the Ball), I am extending my personal apology regarding the learning of this spell. There is a revision in process for DADA and the revision in the curriculum effects your ability to get this spell because this spell (Flippendo Duo) will not exist with the updated curriculum. If it was simply moved to another year, we could have made an exception for you getting the spell early because this is no fault of your own but because it does not exist, this is something that cannot be done with this spell.
As for how I will compensate you for this, I am not entirely certain but I am looking into what I can do regarding this because this is very much unfair to you. What I can tell you is what I have done and what is being done regarding this.
1 - Elaine Pendrast has made a finalized curriculum regarding DADA that reaches the final year. This is important for Adventure and Dueling Dev work and we are thankful for her contribution. It will be the curriculum the new DADA Professor will be using.
2 - Yes, Elaine wrote the curriculum, not Aoi. Aoi notified me privately regarding her need to step down some time ago but did wish to announce this on her own terms but unfortunately a protracted period of time has passed since her last communication so as much as I wish to honor her request I am no longer able to do so. Elaine has been serving as the grader in the interim and has been developing the syllabus. We are presently not seeking a new Professor until the syllabus is complete (which it is) and the classes are prepped because it is unfair to you (and all other players) to wait for a new Professor to reinvent an entire class.
3 - I am saying the spell Flippendo Duo happened in the Ball, but unfortunately it cannot be used in RPs from here on. As that was your intended action for the round (well one of them) and you made the request prior to posting and you have been left waiting for some time, while a meager compensation it was something I could do for you so I did so.
I am sorry.
There is something about ambition, how it not only propels you but also defines you.
