Y32 Dueling Match #5

[Professor Kalif Styx]

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.​

Out of Character:

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.

Sam was ready for this, she was secretly excited that she was duelling, even if she was a little nervous. Hopefully, her opponent wouldn’t be too harsh on her. This was going to be a very good learning experience for her, she figured. Sam did as she was told by her head of house, respectfully greeting her opponent and when he signalled for the duel to begin the girl was quick to be the first one to cast a spell. "Stupefy!" she said, pointing her wand at the Gryffindor.​

Gwen was excited for the dueling tournament this year. She hadn't done very well last year and wanted to get even further this time. She greeted her opponent as they were told to step up and had her wand at the ready. However, the Slytherin managed to cast a spell first and Gwen was quick to stop it. "Protego." she said, successfully blocking the girl's stunning spell. She then quickly waved her wand to send another spell. "Rictusempra."

Sam sighed when her spell seemed unsuccessful, even though it was a simple spell. She couldn’t get her hopes down just yet, though. She needed to keep her focus and optimism higher than usual. Just in case it helped her to think fast. She ducked as the tickling spell came flying towards her, and breathed in relief to herself. She stood back up again and sent the antler jinx Gwen’s way instead, for a change.

Gwen watched as the Slytherin dodged her spell and Gwen smirked at herself. Even though the spell had not hit the girl, Gwen was still happy that she was able to send a successful spell her way. Gwen kept her wand up as the girl sent the antler jinx and was quick to cast protego, blocking the spell. She then quickly waved her wand, sending the trip jinx back at her.

Gwen was fast, and Sam was happy that she had been matched with someone who would give her a bit of a challenge. She smirked slightly as her opponent blocked the spell and sent another one her way, she did not want to trip right now. "Protego." Thankfully, her shield charm worked perfectly fine. "Rictusempra," she cast, deciding to throw the tickling spell back to Gwen.

Gwen's opponent easily managed to block the spell. The Gryffindor sighed a little. She had to be quicker with her casting, but she already felt herself getting tired. She was a bit taken aback as her opponent almost instantly cast another spell. Before Gwen could think of what to do next, she was hit in the chest with it and instantly began to roar out with laughter. She didn't want to laugh, didn't think it was a laughing matter at all, but she couldn't help herself. It took a while for her to calm back down, and when she did, she made sure to cast the fur growing spell right back at the Slytherin.

oh my I completely forgot about this, and ran out of time so here is a finishing post, I’m so sorry

Sam had been doing well ever since the duel began. At least that was what she thought, except that this time, she hadn’t been so lucky. For whatever reason her thoughts had distracted her, and before she knew it, even though her own spell had managed to hit the Gryffindor (her laugh was definitely contagious but Sam tried to keep her cool), Gwen’s next spell sort of came as an unexpected shock. She gasped as she felt the fur growing spell take place and her skin felt all...weird. Okay, so she was weirded out. She dropped her wand to the floor and tried to cover her face with her (furry) hands, without wanting to look at how...hideous she looked. She decided she could not go on like this, even if the finite spell could work, Sam did not want to be even more embarrassed. Her head of house was watching, after all! What could be even more humiliating that this?!​
