Y47 Dueling Match #8

[Professor Misha Haden]

@Corn Seymour VII x @Tempest Vero
Professor Misha Haden had been a bit surprised to be asked to help out, he didn't often, but he didn't mind it. Though of course he was feeling a little more tired than usual with the boys keeping him awake. It was nice though, they were adorable. He looked at the two students whose duel he was overseeing. "Let's keep this clean," he said, before inviting them to get started.

Cornelius had always avoided signing up to duel for a very simple reason; he didn't want to be humiliated. The family legacy hung heavy on his shoulders - his father and his father's father and his father's father's fathers fathers all the way back, champion Aurors every one. And here he was, sixteen and fighting to make a feather levitate. It was humiliating, that was the only word for it. At least in class he could mostly hide his incompetence sitting in the back, but here... here there was no hiding, and everyone was going to see him losing on the big stage. Losing to a girl, even, and Tempest of all people. Father had insisted he test his mettle, but after today Cornelius wasn't sure if father would even want him home. His knees quaked as he took his place, scowling deeply at Tempest across the stage. He moved as soon as the duel began, eager to get this humiliation over and done with. "REDUCTO!" He cried, casting the most destructive spell he could think of without considering the consequences of what would happen if it hit a person. His wand movements were sloppy as he cast though, and even Cornelius could tell it was going to be a weak spell.

[Tempest Vero]

Tempest was determined to reclaim the dueling champion title. She'd been practicing like crazy the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she had been paired with Cornelius for the first duel. She thought it would be an easy win, but she also wasn't sure if the boy would do anything unexpected. As Professor Haden stated the rules, Tempest gave a quick bow and went to raise her wand, realizing her fellow Slytherin was getting in the first spell. It was a violent spell, and for some reason Tempest froze for a moment, before realizing what would happen if the spell hit her and jumped out of the way, falling off the platform onto her ankle. Something moved weird inside her ankle as it hit the ground, and Tempest rolled over, trying to quickly pull herself up but realizing she couldn't put any weight on her foot. "Are you trying to kill me?" she yelled at Cornelius, frustrated that she had totally bombed her chance at redemption. She knew something was wrong with her ankle and grimaced, knowing her round was over. The Slytherin grabbed her wand and looked around to see if there was anyone who help her hobble to the hospital wing.
