Indiana managed to deflect the incoming balloons before his shield gave out and left him open.
"Protego!" the youth chanted, quickly casting a Shield Charm to deflect the remaining projectiles. Unfortunately, an overhead balloon slammed onto his head but Indiana shook it off, not wanting to lose focus before seeing a branch with some ripe walnuts above Shelby's head. She was also standing on a patch of exposed dirt, giving him an idea.
"Protego!" he chanted once more, reinforcing his defense with another Shield Charm that he moved slightly about in place by turning the wrist of his wand hand before grabbing water balloons and sending four of them in rapid succession. The first balloon nailed towards the branch with walnuts at high velocity that would cause the walnuts to fall upon impact. The second and third balloons, sent together, were aimed at the patch of dirt she was standing on with the purpose of making her ground a bit slippery. The fourth went directly at Shelby.
As he maintained the shield charm after sending the three water balloons at their intended destinations, Indiana grabbed two more water balloons, holding their ends with his free hand, before stepping into a clearing, feeling the grass underneath his feet as he awaited an opening.
