Y38 Duelling Match #15

[Katherine Alicastell]

Leading the competitors of the first round to the duelling platform, Katherine gestured for each of them to take up a position at either end, while she herself stepped up to a podium overlooking them. With a tap of her wand in the air, the headmistress pointed the tip at her throat, speaking out in a magically-amplified voice. "Welcome, competitors, to the first round of duelling. As always, the victor of this round will move on to compete in the next, and is brought one step closer to becoming one of this year's duelling champions. Wands at the ready, and prepare yourselves for the duel ahead." Katherine called, giving the students an opportunity to take on a comfortable stance. "Now, bow and commence."

@Nell Wright vs @Jasper Night

Nell had never liked duelling at the best of times, but it would have felt silly not to at least give it a try in her final year. She didn't know whether being paired with Jasper for the first match was a good or bad thing, but just because he was her boyfriend didn't mean she was going to go easy. After bowing to her opponent Nell took a stance, quickly firing off her first spell. "Stupefy!"

[Jasper Night]

Jasper would much rather have faced anyone else in his year rather than his girlfriend. He still wasn't quite used to Nell being his girlfriend, to be fair. He grinned at her and waved instead of bowing, then nearly got taken out by her first spell. "Hey!" He called as he jumped out of the way. "Expelliarmus!" He then cast a spell back.

Action(s) Taken: Cast spell, dodged spell

Nell hadn't expected to do especially well in this match, and it was a surprise to actually take Jasper by surprise. Maybe he had thought she would go easy on him. She grinned slightly and blocked his next spell, firing back one of her own. "Langlock!"

Jasper blocked Nell's spell, huffing at her. "It's like you want to shut me up." He joked. "Expelliarmus!" He cast again.

Nell giggled slightly at Jasper's joke, distracted for a moment too long. As she moved her wand to cast a shield his next spell struck, and her wand was flung wildly from her hand, skittering and clattering across the stage. Though she wasn't surprised to have lost, Nell couldn't hold back a small groan of frustration that it had happened so quickly. "No fair, you distracted me!" She teased, crossing the stage to pick up her wand.

Jasper couldn't help laughing when Nell's wand flew out of her hand, though he put his hand over his mouth to muffle it a bit. "With my dashingly handsome good looks?" He teased. "I can't believe I disarmed you on my second try." He added.

[Nell Night]

Nell flushed with irritation, though she couldn't help smiling slightly. "You know I've never been good at duelling." She laughed slightly, crossing the platform to him. "Though your good looks probably had something to do with it." She teased, giving him a quick kiss before moving off the platform to make way for the next duel.
