The sudden explosion of books caught Matty completely off guard and she could only stand there in shock as they came rushing at her. She had barely even touched the book! Her lips formed a perfect O of surprise as the books were somehow deflected. She let out a startled laugh before lancing towards the person who had cast the shield charm.
"Right," she said in a steady voice as she point at the destruction around them. "That just happened. Wicked!"
A brilliant grin appeared on her face as she gave Julien a thumbs up. She recognized him from classes and such. He was that bloke that always had his book in a nose.
"No apology needed, that was rather epic. Can you recreate it or was it a pure accident?" As she spoke she knelt down and began to pick the books up by hand. Her plan was a bit forgotten as she replayed the moment in her head. The books had launched themselves off of the shelves and she wanted to recreate that on a larger scale.
"Shame there isn't a way to cushion the blow instead of entirely deflecting it...Bouncy shield," and with that phrase her eyes lit up. "OH! Could you imagine? We could bounce off of things!"
