Y34 Duelling Match #23

[Robert Kain]

Professor Kain was looking forward to seeing how the students got on with their duelling. As one of the Charms professors he took pride in seeing the spells in use, and watching some of his own students practise with one another. He welcomed the next two students to their positions, taking his own at the front of the room “Once you have bowed, you may begin,” he said, giving them the go ahead to begin their duel, and keeping an eye on the event from afar.

With Phoebe out of the way, Alistair felt far more confident with the rest of the tournament. The Slytherin took his position on the end of the platform and bowed toward April, before bringing himself back up and raising his wand. "Expelliarmus." He incanted without hesitation, eager to try and end it swiftly.

April was excited to finally get to duel. She was ready to go! She grinned at Alistair and then bowed to him. April blocked his spell and then cast one of her own. "Langlock!" She called, jumping forward as she cast her spell.

Alistair didn't expect April to step closer as she casted a spell, and had to act much more quickly in his defense. "Protego!" He incanted, blocking the tongue-tying curse. When he waved his wand again to cast a bat-bogey hex, he followed her method and took a step forward, closing the distance somewhat to give her less time to react.

[April Ward]

Current Points: 140
April yelped and ducked out of the way of Alistair's spell, only managing because of her quick Quidditch defences. She did stumble a little, but managed to stay upright. April took a quick step back to increase the distance between them. "Uh, expelliarmus!" She called.

[Phoebe Holland]

While Phoebe wasn't happy she had been knocked out of the competition so early, she couldn't resist coming to watch Alistair's next duel. She watched him face off against the Hufflepuff seeker and captain, and couldn't help herself. "BEAT HER ALISTAIR!" She shouted. "I ONLY LOSE TO THE BEST!"

Alistair managed to parry with his own shield in time, though he was impressed by how quickly she had reacted. She was certainly a seeker for good reason. He paused as Phoebe shouted from the audience. Admittedly, he was surprised she was still in high spirits despite her loss, but her support was welcome. He flashed her a warm smile, and fired a babbling hex at approximately where he'd last seen April, hoping to throw her off by not making direct eye contact.

The yelling of support was a bit startling to April, and she frowned when it was clear it wasn´t in support of her. She threw up a shield in time to block Alistair's spell, but she still felt a little unbalanced. "Expelliarmus!" She repeated.

When it came to someone with much faster reflexes than he was used to, Alistair had to switch things up. He stepped to the side of her oncoming spell, turning his body sideways to make himself a narrower target, while raising his wand toward her. The spell was still skimming past him by the time he fired back with a non-verbal stunning spell, his brows knit together in concentration.

April grinned when Alistair had to dodge her spell. Maybe she would win this! But the non-verbal spell caught her off guard. She got hit straight in the chest, and fell backward, unconscious.

[Robert Kain]

Professor Kain had been watching the students closely, and was impressed when the Slytherin used a non verbal spell. It didn’t always work for some so that fact it had for him showed he was a strong wizard. Catching April off guard though, the professor stopped the duel, making his way over to the Hufflepuff who’d just been knocked unconscious “Can we get a nurse over here?” He called out before announcing Alistair as the duelling champion of the seventh years. But then he realised he wasn’t so he back tracked his remarked, and wished him well for the next one.​
