Professor Styx leads the two contestants to the stage, appointing them into the north or south part of the stage. He reveals the rules as well as the point system. He walks off the stage and orders the duel to begin, as he keeps a watchful eye.

All right, make sure that you use the spell list for guidance. No board rule breaking is acceptable. Have fun! I have a copy of the code that you should use with every post. Remember, when you are knocked out, unable to shoot anymore spells, you lost. And if you run out of points, you lose.
The duel begins now. If someone doesn't post after 24 hours, they are disqualified.

Frankie had been having a great time at Hogwarts lately, and she was super pumped for her next duelling match. She hadn't been able to take part in the second round due to odd numbers, and so was itching to get back up and have another duel. She had really enjoyed the first one, and she hoped her next opponent would provide a good challenge. Grinning at the boy, and offering him the bow she had seen people do in other duels, Frankie listened for the starting signal intently and swung into action as soon as she heard Professor Styx say to begin. "Expelliarmus!" she yelled, pointing her wand towards her opponent.

Cassander was thrilled he'd made it so far in the dueling tournament for his first time and was hopeful about his chances of winning. He sized his opponent up as they bowed to each other and he waited for her to make the first move to try and figure out what type of dueler she'd be. Cass blocked the spell as it came and then fired back, "Locomotor Mortis."

Frankie grinned at her opponent's quick reaction to her spell. She was beginning to realise that this was the draw of participating in the tournament for her... immersing herself in the impulsive reaction of defense and offense, trying to see who could eventually outlast the other. "Protego," she called, slashing her wand in front of her, and just as quickly sent back a stunning spell toward her opponent. Frankie was feeling more confident, ready to try out new strategies this duel.

Cassander kept his eyes on the girl across from him for any tell that she was about to cast a spell, though he was so focused he almost didn't cast his Shield up in time. "Stupefy!" he fired back quickly as his shield dissipated.

Frankie was really enjoying this match, and liked that her opponent was keeping her on her toes. She cast another shield spell in front of her, but having to think up another new spell to try in the duel was a bit much for her in the moment, and she fell back on the one she had used most across the tournament so far. "Expelliarmus!" she called, her enthusiasm no less dampened by the lack of imagination she had employed.

Cass could nearly predict the girl's next move so he was ready with his Shield charm when her disarming spell flew his way. He wasn't bored per se, since she was an engaging dueler that kept him somewhat alert, but he hoped for something more exciting. "Expelliarmus," he cast, using her own spell against her.

As the duel continued, Frankie thought it seemed to be shaping up to be a long one. She didn't much mind that she and her opponent seemed well-matched at this particular stage, but how long were they supposed to go for if that remained the case? Her first duel had been shorter, and Frankie definitely felt like her brain was beginning to work harder as this one dragged out. Her shielding spell was cast slightly later than she would have liked, and though it managed to save her from being disarmed, Frankie knew it had barely done so. She paused a moment to collect herself, hoping her opponent would think it was on purpose to mess with his mind or something. "Locomotor Mortis," she shot back suddenly, unashamed that it was only the fact that it had been recently tried on her that she thought of it.

Cass would be lying if he hadn't expected to best his opponent with his last spell, so he wasn't expecting to need a shield charm. Once he realized he was wrong, it was too late and he fell forward as his legs locked together and he hit the floor with a heavy thud. Thankfully Cass' wand was still gripped tightly in his hand and he awkwardly cast, "Finite," to unlock his legs and get back up. With a red face, from anger and embarrassment, Cass yelled out, "Petrificus Totalus!"

Distracted watching her opponent wrestle with the effects of her spell, Frankie wasn't prepared for the ferocity of the one he suddenly shot back at her, and was halfway through trying to conjure a shield charm when she realised that she would have to leap out of the way of the oncoming spell instead. The haste of her movement made the dodge awkward, and she banged the elbow on her wand arm as she went down. Damn, Frankie thought, sucking in her breath as she got up. The way her whole arm was aggressively tingling right now was super distracting. "Expelliarmus," she tried, pointing her wand back towards her opponent. She was realising he was probably better at this than her, but that didn't mean she wouldn't keep going while she still could.

Now that he was standing up right properly again, Cass was ready to defend himself against the oncoming attack. Even if he was getting tired, and somewhat embarrassed, throughout the duel, he liked the competitiveness of it from a good opponent whereas the others weren't this persistent. After quickly shielding himself with a Shield charm, Cassander cast, "Stupefy!"

Frankie only performed what amounted to an internal shrug at seeing that her spell didn't land. You couldn't have everything. Besides, the tingling in her arm was taking up more and more of her attention now, and her fingers were starting to feel too weird gripped around her wand. "Protego," she said, casting a shield charm that shattered to pieces immediately as her opponent's stunning spell hit it. Frankie was impressed. It was likely the distraction of hitting her elbow had played a part on her end, but if this guy ended up winning she wouldn't even be mad about it. He was pretty good. Glad that she had been able to duel him, Frankie grinned as she sent another spell back down the length of the platform. "Expelliarmus!" Her opponent had seemed a bit mad to have fallen over that other time, so she decided to avoid using that spell on him again. It felt counter-intuitive to try and ruin another person's enjoyment in the duel.

Cass focused on his opponent, ready to throw up his shield as she cast the next spell and exhaled in relief when the protective shield managed to block it just in time. From the spectators he heard someone cheer for him and glanced to see that it had come from Kira. The Slytherin puffed out his chest as his ego inflated and with renewed vigor, cast a Trip Jinx towards the girl opposite him.
