Ruth sat next to Cyrus, feeling a little small. It meant it was easy to shrink back and be a viewer, but it really made her think about how long it was before she'd be graduating. It felt like ages away, yet at the same time she felt like she'd be sitting here trying not to cry about Cyrus...

Current Points: 125 "Woooow," Ruth said, drawing out the syllables before cutting herself off with a protego. She couldn't get too distracted in her own distractions. "Whatever you say, mister grumpy," she drawled with a laugh, flinging back a stupefy.Action(s) Taken: cast spell x2 Point...

Current Points: 135 Thinking was something that was likely to give you wrinkles, Ruth pondered, and she was way too young to screw up her face. Maybe it was best to just try and go on instinct. She blocked the spell and blinked at Lumos's reaction. "Didn't you get enough of a nap while the rest...

Current Points: 145 Ruth watched Lumos carefully. He wasn't exactly easy to read, and the wheels in her head turned as she tried to work out a strategy here. For the moment, though, she was going to stick with being perky, a little more so than she usually was. Which was fairly perky, she hadn't...

Current Points: 150 Ruth had been pretty lucky to make it through all her duels to this point, she knew. Not as lucky as her previous and current opponents who got free rounds, but her wins had all been pretty close. Maybe she really would have to put more work into it in the future. Or she...

Current Points: 95 Oh, thought Ruth. He didn't get the joke. Never mind, now she'd just leave it as an annoyingly unanswered question until the duel was over and she'd politely shake hands and drop the persona she was working on. Though he was still a bit weird if this was him normally. And...

Current Points: 110 Amory's next choice of spell was not doing him any favours in terms of not being called creepy, Ruth thought, still giggling a little bit as she twirled to step aside from the spell. She knew she could rely on her footwork a little more than her casts at that second. "Do you...

Current Points: 120 Ruth tilted her head, a bit confused by what Amory was going on about. She only barely managed to block the spell in time, but hoped that her hunching over and the spell kind of fizzling out against her barrier as opposed to bouncing off very noticeably made it look like it...

I don't wear socks like 95% of the time, I live in sandals or flats. :lol: But when I do, socks then shoes. I'm more likely to wear stockings (especially in winter) and that kind of requires them being put on fully before shoes so it kind of translates over to socks, I guess.

Current Points: 130 Ruth raised an eyebrow. Wow, she thought. She wasn't wrong, he really did love the sound of his own voice. He'd probably keep talking no matter what, and she was weighing up what was the best way to irritate him into slipping up. It seemed like not replying would work, it was...

Current Points: 140 Well, if he thought she was stupid, then that was working exactly as Ruth hoped it was. The fun of dueling, she was realising, was that it was all a big performance. She carefully put up a shield, and practically pantomimed a confused look as she pondered a spell, before...

Current Points: 150 Ruth had been disappointed to learn that she wouldn't get a break to sit out a round like everyone else seemed to. She felt like she was having to work harder than everyone and that was so not her style. At least Sybil was through to the final in the other group, she was...

It gets fun when you deal with the weird half hour difference between Victoria and South Australia (I'm right near the border) then when you have 2 timezones becoming four between September and April. :lol:

Current Points: 90 Ruth was mildly amused at how Felix had talked up the lack of spells available and yet refused to use anything more interesting. Maybe he just wasn't very creative, she thought, still keeping the same bemused and benevolent smile on her face. Or didn't want to have fun. She...

Current Points: 100 If there was anything Ruth was for sure actually good at it was being a somewhat annoying younger sister, as Cyrus could attest to. At least that was a skill she could put to use here as well. Sometimes you just had to take what you already had and use it. She quickly blocked...

Current Points: 125 Ruth kept regarding Felix somewhat curiously, looking more mildly bemused than anything else. Of course, that was most of her regular state. She shrugged, seemingly unbothered by the taunting. "I dunno, if I don't do well with dueling I'll just find something else to do...

Current Points: 135 Ruth was starting to see why she didn't hang out with the boys in the year level much. Still, she kept smiling, and blocked the disarming spell somewhat languidly. She blinked at the hostile response and tilted her head, figuring she must have riled him up faster than...

Current Points: 145 Ruth kept a placid smile on her face, blocking the spell almost a little bit too slow, but not slow enough to get hit by it. "Wow, pretty strong," she said with an air of being impressed, before firing back a Locomotor Mortis. She needed just a bit more time to get a good...

Current Points: 150 Ruth felt a little bad about beating Bea, but that was just how the competition went. She hoped there were no hard feelings there. But she didn't want to get ahead of herself. A win was good, but easily could be taken as a fluke. She bowed as directed and smiled sweetly at...

Ruth had swapped her green ribbons for red ones just for this duel - of course she was going to cheer on her cousin. It was a bit awkward she was dueling another Gryffindor, but it was what it was. It was hard to cheer much when it came to duels, in all honesty, since she didn't want to cause a...
