As someone who took duelling seriously, Ava could understand where Townsend was coming from. It wasn't just some schoolyard game of throwing hexes back and forth and laughing about it. This was a tournament, and those who thought it was all fun and games never should have signed up. Like...

Ava had to admire the enthusiasm Sydney showed. She listened to her speak, nodding her head slowly. "Where we could have been as a society today if we all had this..." She mused with a slow look around the shelves, at them any, many books that surrounded them. "Readily available to everyone...

The duelling tournament was one of the few things Hogwarts offered that Ava found interesting enough to partake in, so it came almost as a disappointment to find out she would not be competing in her final year at the school. She didn't look forward to many of the school events, but she had...

Ava raised her eyebrows, intrigued by the Townsend girl's claims. It was a pity she hadn't heard anything about it earlier, and something of a curiosity given the girl had gone on to then become a prefect. Sydney was interesting, and that was refreshing in this castle. "Subtle." She commented, a...

Ava took the book she'd asked for with a silent thank you, and tucked the volume under her arm, nodding in response to the other girl's query over the spell she'd used. She hadn't intended to engage in a conversation, but here she was, and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't at least a bit...

Ava didn't have much of a home to go back to during the holidays. Tragic, she was sure. Hogwarts had never quite felt like a replacement home despite the fact. It retained that atmosphere of simply being a school she happened to live at, but the holidays were perhaps the closest it came to ever...

While Ava had little interest in the SDA as a whole, outside of its tournaments, she was intrigued by the exhibition duel they had advertised. Any duel between two people with any significant knowledge of spells was one worth spectating, and she had to imagine that the leaders knew what they...

Ava was not a member of the Student Defence Association. She'd had little interest in any of the school's clubs since she'd transferred. Her only involvement had, almost unknown to her, been in the duelling tournament, which she had won. Anyone could sign up, and it was easy to forget that it...

Current Points: 125 Ava retaliated with a simple hex-deflection spell to defend herself from the girl's first move, though, not expecting an outright cheat in an official tournament, she wasn't entirely prepared for the follow up attack. Ava already assumed her opponent was ignorant to the...

Current Points: 135 There was such a thing as overconfidence, and Ava could tell it would be her opponents downfall. She barely knew who she was, or why she thought she stood a fraction of a chance, but she did know that she wasn’t in any danger of losing to her. Ava raised another shield with...

Ava had an interest in few other duels outside of her own. The number may well have been zero, if not for the younger girl who had approached her to learn a spell she’d used the previous tournament. Now, Ava had a vested interest to see how well she would do since. Ava watched the two, enjoying...

Current Points: 145 Ava’s eyes narrowed on the girl, who thought herself above duelling tradition. Very well. She raised her wand to block the oncoming spell, and followed it up with a slashing motion. “Diffindo.” Action(s) Taken: Cast spell x2 Point Changes: -10 Points Remaining: 135

Current Points: 150 Ava didn’t want to suggest she was the reason practically no one else in her year had signed up for duelling, nor did she entertain the idea that that wasn’t the case. The number had dropped dramatically, and for a while, Ava wondered if another name would ever appear on the...

Ava was wholly prepared for the duel to be over before it had even begun. It wasn't like duelling people in her own year, and even then, she hadn't considered them a real challenge. Yet she was glad when the younger girl managed to block it. It kept it fun, and if she was going to learn how to...

Ava had to pause, unsure if the younger girl was actually serious about her offer. Some people were a glutton for punishment, but she never thought she'd meet someone so willing to put themselves on the receiving end of such an unpleasant spell. Ava, however, was not going to complain. She...
