@Rowan Baros vs @Ava Lancaster

Rowan wasn't sure how she felt about this. She didn't know anything about her opponent at all. She knew her name, but that was it. She nodded at the other blond and bowed before getting ready for the duel. "Good luck." She said, casting the babbling curse at her.

A chance to put her duelling to the test was something Ava had been looking forward to since arriving at the new school, and a lack of interaction with her abysmal peers would no doubt help her here. She raised her wand toward the Gryffindor once they'd bowed, and exhaled indignantly when she realised she'd been too slow. "Protego. Diffindo!" She incanted in quick succession, slashing her wand toward her opponents dominant hand.

Rowan was not nearly prepared enough when her opponent tried to slice her in half, nearly succeeding though Rowan had moved her hand in time for the spell to hit her in the side rather than actually cut her hand off. "F#CK!" She'd not intended to get hurt so early on in the duel and she felt like maybe this would not bode well for her. Though she hoped she could toughen this out. "Confundo!"

It was still early, but that didn't stop the triumphant smirk quietly crossing Ava's features. This wouldn't take long. She raised her wand to conjure a shield against the next spell headed her way, taking joy in the satisfying hum of it harmlessly bouncing off of her defenses. "Reducto!" She called, firing an aggressive blast toward the platform beneath the girl's feet.

This girl was trying to kill her! Rowan barely managed to throw up her protego in time before she was blown up. Honestly. This was supposed to be a bit of fun. She could feel the slice on her side as she moved. Thankfully it wasn't massive, but it certainly stung and she could definitely feel it. "Stupefy!"

Ava grimaced when the girl blocked her blast. That was...fine. There was plenty of time to win. She shielded herself from the stunning spells telltale flash of red light, and took a step forward to close the distance. "Incendio!" She shouted, conjuring a jet of searing flames.

What in the world! Rowan was so out of her depth with this girl. She'd been expecting something steady and that would get more intense as it went, not a psycho who was trying to take her out. "Protego, Expelliarmus!" Simple was good.

Ava had to quickly step out of the way to avoid the disarming spell, unwilling to risk trying to throw up a shield after such a quick retaliation. She raised her own wand again and fired another reductor curse at the girl, eager to blast her off of the platform.

She was absolutely insane. Did that have anything to do with her being a transfer? Maybe whatever school she came from didn't advocate for friendly rivalry. What a horrible place. She dived quickly to the side when the next Reducto got thrown at her, quickly getting up to throw another spell at the girl. Her side was throbbing as she'd landed heavily on it. She wasn't sure what the state of her robes were, but she was sure the blood could be seen from the side. She cast the stinging hex at the girl.

Ava watched the girl throw herself to the side, for a moment under the impression that perhaps she'd finally knocked her from the platform. Too late, she realised her opponent had managed to avoid her curse, and had to raise her arm to defend herself against the incoming hex. She hissed at the pain flooding her arm, the skin already red and swelling, and quickly slashed her wand at the girl with renewed aggression. "Diffindo!"

Rowan felt a ruthless satisfaction that her spell had finally hit the girl, grinning in triumph. She reacted too late again, taking another hit from Diffindo which left a sizeable gash in her arm. This spell was clearly her weak point because she'd managed to miss it twice and she hissed angrily in pain. She was trying not to take it personally but it was really hard with this girl hitting her twice with the same spell. "Augh! Diffindo!" Maybe she could give the girl some of her own medicine, since her arm and her side were throbbing and bloody. She would definitely be heading for the Hospital Wing.

Elio did love the duels, but he didn’t love watching his friends getting hit by spells. He was watching anxiously the duel between Rowan and Ava, although not the Ravenclaw Ava he was rather familiar with. This one seem vicious and was throwing spells at the Gryffindor with such little regard for playing nicely. “COME ON RO!” He shouted from the crowd. He wanted to see her take this girl down.

Ava's frustrations eased as she managed another blow to the Gryffindor. It still wasn't enough to get her to release her wand, but it was progress. She had plenty of time to cast up another shield, taking small amusement in her opponent trying the same tactic. She spared a withering glance at a boy shouting from the crowd, and waved her wand again. "Serpensortia." She said, practically tossing the venomous serpent at "Ro".

Rowan was in so much pain right now. All she was, was pain, adrenaline and a little bit of rage. She wanted this girl so far under her foot she wouldn't be able to see straight. "Really, a f#cking snake? You know my brother's a parselmouth, right?" She asked the girl looking at the snake which had landed in front of her. She certainly wasn't scared of them, but she didn't want to hurt it either. She looked at it, thinking what she might best do before levitating the snake off of the platform.

Ava quirked a brow as the girl verbally lashed out. "I'm not dueling your brother." She said. A parselmouth was interesting to her, certainly, but she had no reason to be invested in this family. While the girl was in the process of levitating the snake away, Ava tossed another reductor curse at her feet.

Rowan had never specifically hated someone before, not since Vegeta, but, this girl was definitely creeping up her list. She dropped the snake as she realised the girl as getting ready to throw another spell at her and quickly tried to put up a protego but was knocked off of her feet, almost landing outside of the active zone. Merlin that had hurt. She slowly pulled herself up, throwing out Reducto as revenge.

Ava lowered her wand momentarily, waiting to see if her opponent would get back up. She'd given her quite the beating, though the toll of putting so much behind her own curses was beginning to weigh in. The burning sensation running across her forearm did little to help, either. She audibly sighed when the girl managed to get back to her feet, and raised her wand once again. "Protego." She said simply, deflecting the blast. It splintered the platform in front of her, and her ward faded away. Ava stood poised, delaying casting another spell of her own, just to see if "Ro" would continue to stand on her own.

Honestly Rowan needed a moment. She was bleeding from her side and from her arm, and she might've had a splinter in some of her body. She wasn't sure though, she couldn't tell what was pain and what was not. She was thankful that the blonde didn't seem inclined to kick her whilst she was down and so she slowly and carefully raised herself, looking down to see the blood on her robes. She finally pulled herself up to her full tiny five foot two height and held her wand pointed at Ava. Her breathing was ragged and she could see the signs of exhaustion on her opponent. "Ex-expelliarums."

Ava watched on bitterly, annoyed that the girl kept going. She cast another shield, now evidently less potent than her prior ones, but enough to protect her from the disarming spell. "You've lost." She told her, drawing her wand up once more. "Reducto."

Rowan barely had the energy to notice there was a spell coming her way. By the time she did it was too late and the floor below her exploded in splinters again. Rowan feel backwards and out of the zone.
Action(s) Taken: Fell out of zone

After an interesting duel, it seemed as if Ava Lancaster gained the upper hand. After Rowan Baros fell out of the zone. "Ava Lancaster wins," announced Kalif coolly.
