Tessa suspected that Joel was not trying so hard as he otherwise might, but then, if he had been she might not have had so easy a time blocking the spells he tossed at her.  He did manage to drench her quite throughly with his little splashing charm, leaving water dripping off the end of her nose and her cheeks pink from the state of her sodden blouse.

With fair more temper than was probably necessary she flung a stinging hex at him, and side stepped his hag jinx rather than blocking it.  With any luck it would hit Pippa or someone else behind her.  

The stinging hex it seemed had found his mark, and with Joel momentarily blown against the wall she sashaed over to take his wand as forfit.  "You were supposed to block that" she told him by way of apology, glancing up at his reddening cheek.  She didn't move to cast the spell on the recently acquired wand however, because she was busy gaping at the spectacle that Daniel and Lizzie (And Lizzie's under drawers) provided.
