@Ruby Maeve Louw v @Rion Pendleton

Gabrielle was quite excited to have the opportunity to proctor the duels this year. She so rarely got to see the students' spellwork in action and was very keen to see what they could do and what sort of tactics they would employ. She didn't expect great tactical prowess or a lot of finesse in the second years' spellwork, naturally, but she wasn't willing to discount what either of these girls would do in the dueling arena. Likely she'd be surprised. "Alright, let's have a nice clean duel, ladies. The winner will continue on to the next round of the tournament, so don't go tiring yourselves out in round one. When you're ready, bow to your opponent and you may begin."



The duel begins now. You have 24 hours from this to post your first reply, or face disqualification. Once both duelists have posted, you will have 24 hours from your opponents post to reply, or be disqualified. Ensure that you use the spell list for guidance on age-appropriate spells, and read over the dueling rules and points system. Please also remember site rules apply, including power/god modding. You can find the site rules here. Duels will run until there is a winner or until 6 IRL days have passed, in which case the winner will be chosen by RNG. If you are knocked out or otherwise disarmed/incapacitated, or if you run out of points, you will lose and the duel will end. Have fun!

As an added note: Spectators are allowed to post in this topic once per competitors post, but are forbidden from directly interfering with the duels.

Rion couldn't believe her bad luck. Actually, she could. Being paired up with Ruby for her first duel was exactly the sort of thing that would happen to Rion. She hesitated on the step up to the stage. Maybe it would be less embarrassing for the both of them if she just bottled out. But everybody was watching her, waiting, and she'd already created enough scenes for one day. Without looking Ruby in the eye, she took her place and bowed. "Expelliarmus," she said. Ruby would know she didn't want to do this, right?

Oh, this was almost too perfect. Having not spoken to her former best friend since Rion decided that she was the worst friend in the world their fight, Ruby was over the moon to show the girl exactly how she felt about her. The Gryffindor didn't take her eyes off of Rion as she walked up onto the stage, noticing how Rion wasn't looking at her. And hesitated - before she stepped on stage. Good. It was time to show Rion exactly what Ruby was made of. Ruby kept her eyes on Rion as she did a bow, before quickly blocking the spell Rion sent, and sending back "Stupefy!"

Of course Ruby was angry. Rion anticipated the stunning spell and raised a shield charm just in time to block it. Well, if she thought Rion was going down easy just because she felt guilty, she couldn't have been more wrong. Reminding herself of Ruby's selfish letters, she stamped her foot and said, "Rictusempra."

Ruby used a shield charm to block the spell, but couldn't help but giggle at Rion stamping her foot. "Throwing another tantrum, are we?" Ruby asked cruelly, before sending back the jelly-legs jinx.

June wanted to see some duels, mostly her ''competition'' so she could see what kind of spells they used and how they were, what their soft spots were. So the duels she could watch she did. She was surpised to see Rion against Ruby, and they seemed to go hard to eachother. So quietly sat down and had an notebook beside her in case she quickly wanted to write something. But had no idea of the professor would say something from it. She took a good look, wondering who would win.

"Protego." Rion flushed, her hands burning. Tantrums were things that babies threw when they didn't get their way. Rion wasn't a baby. She hadn't been throwing a tantrum. Her parents had died. But Ruby still didn't know. She didn't deserve to know. "Stupefy!"

Rion was not losing this duel.

Ruby smirked, shrugging at Rion's lack of response; she was obviously too embarrassed about her behaviour to try to stand up for herself. Ruby threw up a shield, surprised when it shattered by the force Rion had sent her spell with. "Damn Riri, got under your skin, have I? Expelliarmus!"

OOCOut of Character:
Due to the 24-hour rule, Ruby Maeve Louw is the winner of this duel.
 
No. No! Rion couldn't lose. Ruby would never stop laughing at her. It was bad enough already, having to avoid Ruby in the corridors, trying to avoid eye contact in class. Rion was sick of feeling small, and she was sick of losing. Half-turning away, she suddenly changed direction and brandished her wand. "Stupefy!"

Gabrielle was just checking over her list as to who was next when she heard Rion pipe up with a spell. She immediately frowned, jumping in and casting a wider shield. Ruby had been harsh and could probably have stood to have a talking to about the way she was talking to Rion, especially since Gabrielle had been made aware of what Rion had gone through, but that didn't excuse what Rion did. "Miss Pendleton, enough," Gabrielle said, sternly. "I have half a mind to bring the two of you to my office and we can all have a nice chat about manners," she said, looking over at Ruby before turning her attention back to Rion. "But you must control your temper. The duel is over. Put your wand away and go clear your head. I will have to speak to Professor Josephs later."

Oh what a glorious moment. Vindication. Success. Finally, everyone else could see that she was better than Rion, the crying cry baby. With a smirk on her face, Ruby dropped her arm holding the wand, ready to forget about Rion and face the next loser. But Rion taking a cheap shot made Ruby gasp, and though she was grateful that the Professor had stopped it, she could barely hear what Professor Moncrieffe was saying, as she let out a feral yell and raced straight at Rion, intending to tackle her.

Gabrielle thought that that would be that, but she hadn't expected Ruby to charge directly at Rion in response. Not entirely surprised that Ruby would be annoyed, but not at all impressed. She glared, reaching out to attempt stop the younger girl in her tracks. "Miss Louw, if you don't want to face a Brightstone weekend of detentions on top of disqualification, I suggest you try and be gracious in victory, and let it go." What Rion had done was wrong - Gabrielle got that it was from a place of frustration, but she'd talk to Kahurangi and see that Rion got a talking-to from someone far better at this sort of thing than she was. If she had to go to Cyndi as well, it would just really emphasize how bad she was at this.
