Dueling Match #46

[Professor Misha Haden]

@Ruth Thorne x @Lumos Walden-Cade

Professor Misha Haden had been a bit surprised to be asked to help out, he didn't often, but he didn't mind it. Though of course he was feeling a little more tired than usual with the boys keeping him awake. It was nice though, they were adorable. He looked at the two students whose duel he was overseeing. "Let's keep this clean," he said, before inviting them to get started.

Out of Character:

The duel begins now. You have 24 hours from this to post your first reply, or face disqualification.

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 could just shrug it off as a lucky streak, either or. Now she was up against Lumos. Ruth hadn't hit it off with Lumos, sure, but she didn't really have a problem with the guy. He seemed to have a problem with her, though, if his weird reaction when Jonah delivered a rose to her was anything to go by. Well, maybe Ruth would just have to kill him with kindness. "Hi Lumos, good luck!" she said in the most cheerful, bubbly voice possible as she bowed to him. She quickly cast the disarming charm when she was free to start. It seemed to be a pretty safe option to test the waters.

Ruth wasn't this bubbly, he wasn't sure why she was pretending to be, but it wasn't his business. He bowed to her, "Hi Ruth," he said, before blocking her spell and then hitting back with "Everte Statum!"

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 joined the pep club for nothing after all. She blocked the spell, and fired back a jelly-legs jinx, beaming all the while.

Lumos yawned, deflecting her jinx and hitting back with "Expelliarmus!"

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 of us were still dueling?" she asked, her voice as innocent as possible. "Do you need a lie down?" she added, sending out a trip jinx.
