Malachy smiled and saw the eagerness and knew the kid needed to learn patience or he would expect thing to work well to quickly and end up getting his hopes up. However He could also he was annoyed with him. He'd Teach the boy a few spells and wait till the boy learned that hastiness was not the way one mastered magic, the hard way.
"The word is 'Protego.' You Simply hold out your wand, want not to be hit with a spell, and say the words as soon after I say mine as you can. If it works you'll see something if not you will end up stumbling back when my spell hits you." He said with amusement. "Now let's get into position" He said walking forward to the field. Then he waited for Silvain

Silvain watched Malachy walk away, wondering where he was going, then realized he was heading to the dueling field. With an "Oh!" of realization, he hurried after the guy, stepping onto the field.
I'm on the dueling field...where other people duel...Real-life fights...It was cool. He had to admit. Well, it was pretty awesome, actually. To think that he was out here, learning the basics to build a foundation from which he would rise and grow stronger...
He supposed he could have a little tolerance and patience with Malachy for that. It was worth it...
"'K," he said. Protego...protego...The word was familiar. He was pretty sure he'd heard it out here when he was watching once or twice a while ago...
"I'm ready," he said, reaching the middle of the field and turning back to wait for Malachy to cast.

Malchy nodded with a smile. Malachy lifted his arm and flicked it at Silvain "Flipendo." He said without much force. He also made sure to move a bit slower than he would normally. Malachy knew he was faster and more skilled than Silvain, and he knew Silvain knew that He didn't need to strike with the speed of a serpent because he was only teaching. He only intended to make Silvain stumble back. If he didn't catch himself it was Silvain's own fault.

Silvain raised his wand, a surprise spike of fear burying itself somewhere in the back of his head as he watched this orange light speed toward him.
"--P-Protego!!"
Nothing happened. The spell hit his hand, knocking his wand out of it, then struck him in the chest, sending him stumbling backwards and ultimately onto his butt.
Oww...!
It didn't hurt that much, but it had knocked the wind out of him, like someone had shoved him while passing in the hall. He took a second to catch his breath, and looked around for his wand, rubbing his chest.
"...It didn't work..."

Malachy smiled, "I can tell, now pick up your wand and let's try again. If your ready that is. And you don't need to be afraid. I'm not going to try to hurt you." He said reassuringly. As he waited for silvain to get back up. He's have to lower the power a little.

Silvain found the tip of his wand poking out of the grass, and reached out, picking it up. He pushed himself to his feet and got ready again.
Protego...Protego...
"...M'kay, I'm ready!" He tensed, his grip on his wand tight.

"Protego!" Silvain cried, with more conviction this time. He didn't know why the attack scared him, but he fought past it. The end of his wand glowed whitish, and something erupted from it, but the Flipendo swooshed through it like mist, too quickly for it to form into anything. This time, Silvain arched backwards, having to take a single step back to catch himself, pinwheeling his arms to keep himself up.
"Agh...Something happened there, I think...I was just too slow. Try it again," he said, getting himself ready again.

(('K.))
Silvain prepared himself for the spell, and this time anticipated when Malachy casted. He shouted his counter before the Slytherin had even finished 'Flipendo.'
His shield was slow to form, but solidified just in time to block the spell. Silvain's eyes lit up as he saw something very similar to what he'd seen before on the dueling field used by others. He was so used to the tingling in his arm by now that he didn't even notice it.
"Again!" he urged, excited that this was working.
His shield charms were shaky, but decent enough to block the least of Malachy's Flipendo spells. He knew he had enough to practice by with the fourth or fifth attempt.
"Alright...alright, enough." He was panting, his fingers numb, but he didn't even care. "That's good, I got it down, I can practice on my own...anything else?" he asked, grinning.

Malachy was impressed with the Progress but he tried to hide it. "You are doing quite well Silvain. I want to teach you just one more spell before we stop for the day. The spell is 'Expelliarmus,' The disarming spell. Just flick you wand and say Expelliarmus, I am your target." He said raising his want like an opponent would. "Now Let's try it."

Disarming? That was interesting...Expelliarmus...
Silvain chuckled suddenly. Is it just me, or are these spells kinda...Latin-y? he realized. Wonder why...Hm, looks like I found something to look up in the library later...
"M'kay." It was only after he raised his want that he found it difficult to hold. Is my arm falling asleep? Weird...He remembered what had happened with the Patronus, and how he hadn't been able to use his arm for almost an hour afterward the first time...
He took a second to weight his options. He could back out and tell Malachy his arm was starting to hurt...ooooor...he could do this anyway and be that much stronger.
Yeah. He liked option 2 better. He raised his wand and sort of flicked it like he would have for Wingardium Leviosa.
"Expelliarmus!!"
This time, there was no light, nor anything visible. But he felt it...Oh man, did he feel it. The tingle was painful this time, and he winced, but he heard a whoosh, like a strong gust of wind, and saw the distortion of the air as what he assumed to be the spell sped toward Malachy.
Shoulda brought the sling...He made himself ignore the pain, keeping his wand high. It faded away soon enough, right? He'd only have to do this a couple more times, and then he could go in and rest his arm...

Malachy saw silvain wince, and he'd be enbarassed to say it distracted him. Malachy now longer bracing for the spell and now it was his turn to meet the dirt. He felt himself pushed balk unexpectedly and he wand shot right out of his hand like a rocket. and fell on the ground 3 feet fromm where he was knocked down. Expelliarmus was only meant to get the wand out of the opponent's hand but the inexperienced caster's spell did pack a punch when dealing with people that where more skilled than the caster.
He got up picked up his wand and brushed the dust off his pants. "A little more than I expected, your doing pretty well. Is there something wrong with your arm again?" He asked. These spells where too low level to have done the same as the Patronus. It can't have required anything to cast them.

"Nah, I'm okay," Silvain lied, lowering his arm. "It's just a little tingly, that's all...I think it happens all the time. That was cool, though...you okay?"
My spell did that? Awesome...! He grinned as he looked from Malachy to the place where his wand had fallen.
"I thought you were gonna defend, though," he said. Maybe he just wanted to show me how it would work if it hit someone.

"Nah you needed to see what it does." He lied. He was doing to defend but but he had gotten distracted. "There's probably something wrong if you're feeing anything strange when your using magic. Has any one been handing you any unknown potions or anything? Because I think their may be some that are used to discipline others, that do that. So it's uncomfortable to use magic. " He said with an almost complete guess and theoretically their could be potions that did that.
