[Zane Lestrange]

"Not particularly, the shield breakers are a nice move, but if used too often your opponent will spot the pattern and find another way around your defences. Try varying it a bit more. Maybe attempt some hexes that would be unusual to use in that situation to throw your enemy and then switch straight back to the more traditional ones," he said quietly, looking at the two siblings who seemed to have wanted to continue with the duel. "Do you have any feedback?" he asked James and then Lily.

[James Sirius Potter]

James listened and nodded. He knew that he had used the shield breakers too much. He smiled at Lily "You've speeded yoru spell casting up immensely." he said "Just one thing. Your opening sequence of spells are quite predictable for people who know you. I mean the fact that you always case a shield charm then follow by your bat bogey hex. I would say drop the hex at the beginning and leave that to the middle of the duel."

[Lily Potter]

Lily listened, her head squezzed between her hands. It throbbed worse than any other headache she'd ever had. After James finsihed she nodded, removing one of her hands to singal him to be quite. "Just for a moment, plese." she added, smiling softly. "Oh, and try not to aim for someone's head next time." she said, frowning.

[James Sirius Potter]

James saw her clutch her head where she had been hit "Sorry. I got carried away." he said scowling. "I will try and remember to aim down. I think that was just lack of focus on my part."
