Y49 Dueling Match #29

[Professor Adorah Zumwalt]

@Audrey Beauchamp @Teddy Pirrip

Adorah was feeling a little more excited about proctoring the third round of dueling. She waited until the opponents were ready and then gave them a smile. "One of you go to that side and the other over here. You'll bow and then start. Begin!" she said.

Out of Character:

The duel begins now. You have 24 hours from this to post your first reply, or face disqualification.

Audrey couldn't believe that she'd finally actually won a duel. Ten had been distracted, but Audrey would still take it. She had a score to settle (again) with Teddy, and this time, she'd definitely get the upper hand. Surely, he couldn't win at everything every time ever, right? It seemed like he could, but that couldn't possibly be the case. "Ah, Teddy, we meet at last," she drawled, trying to sound like a villain from some old movies that Dion had shown her. Audrey knew Teddy could outspeed her, but hopefully his time as keeper had slowed him down some. But to help him along..."Graviatus!"

[Teddy Pirrip]

Teddy stood where Professor Zumwalt told him to and prepared to bow. He still ached a little, but did feel much better than when his dad had stopped him from playing in the Brotherhood vs Heta game. He was 100% certain that the Brotherhood would have won if he'd of played, because Teddy always won, always. You only had to look at the Quidditch results. Or the fact that he’d won every dueling tournament so far.

He was pleasantly surprised to be against Audrey for this final. "Beauchamp! It's good to see you! How did you make it this far? I thought you sucked at dueling?" He teased. He blocked the Graviatus spell, he had heard of it somewhere but wasn't overly familiar with it. "You've been practicing." He commented with a nod then sent a non-verbal stupefy. He could only do a couple of spells non-verbally and this seemed like a good place to practice them.

Audrey rolled her eyes, determined not to be baited by Teddy's goading. Not that that always worked. "I was practicing while you were busy sucking face," she retorted. "Are you even ever doing work in the library or are you just doing-" she was cut off by a silent spell, having to quickly dive out of the way. "Touche. Confundo." She should've expected some non-verbal spells, in all fairness.

Teddy smirked when Audrey was caught off guard by his non-verbal stupefy. He quickly blocked her return, his speed being his strength in a duel. His weakness being an inability to keep his mouth shut. "Sucking fa- Audrey it sounds like you're jealous?" He teased, "When you get a proper boyfriend, one you can actually stand being in the company of, you'll understand that there is way more to it than that." He smirked, casting "Aguamenti" to cool her down.

Audrey shook her head, dramatically sighing. "Oh, Teddy," she lamented, quickly casting an impervious charm on her head to allow the water to be harmlessly repelled off. She'd just have to avoid slipping. Probably should have gone the drought charm, too late now. "You've become so boring, you know?" She followed that up with a silent trip jinx. She hadn't tried it before, but it was a simple enough spell that she was sure she could pull it off, even if it wasn't at full strength.

Teddy didn’t like that one bit. He was too busy thinking about some clever retort that he didn't notice the silent trip jinx until it was too late. He landed hard and painfully on his knee. His wand stayed in hand, but his pride was shattered. His knee was possibly shattered too but he had bigger problems right now. “Boring?” he replied in shock, scrambling upright and rubbing his hurting knee. “You think I’m boring?” His voice cracked, “I’m like the exact opposite of boring!” There would be no more warm up spells and no more playing nice. Teddy was bringing out the big guns, “Incarcerous.” His annoyance helped make it a powerful one.

[Hugo Stark-West]

After last year's duels, Hugo had never wanted to see the duelling chamber again. however that promise hadnt lasted long once theduelling tourniment was announced and teddy had been keen to sign up and defend his title. and hugo had had to face his misgivings and do as a good boyfriend did and go and cheer. he had watched the first round and was pleasedthat teddys year seemed a lot less violent than the people in his year. he was glad teddy had one even igf he had had to reassure him that he would still like him even if he was bald. now after a bye he was back watching the finals. Teddy and Audrey, Best friends against each other. he was pretty sure it was going to be a good match. brutal, but in the way that would be good to watch not violent.
he took his steat and watched as the match started. again duels with a good deal of banter as he had expected. what he hadnt been expecting was to once again be the topic of choice to jibe at ted. he could feel his face warming with embaressment. sure they did kiss a lot. but most of the time in the library at least was actually studying and reading. was his presense reallyputting that much strain on Teddys other relationships. maybe he should sugest they spend a little less time together. but make sure that the time they did spend was good time not just studying. which was admittedly the opposite of what he had asked for at the ball. He smiled as teddys water spell floded half the stage but then flinched as he tripped up thanks to a neat little trip jinx from audry and seemed to hobble slightly on his way up. he was actually almost enjoying watching, well he would be if he wasnt the subject of half the banter.

Oh, thought Audrey, that worked better than expected. Nothing for it but to double down. "You are boring," she insisted, rather petulantly. Everyone here was so boring, she thought. Teddy had long been an exception, but she hardly saw him anymore and he'd settled down to become far less interesting. So had Lucy, really. People with boyfriends and girlfriends were so dull. And were both probably going to just mope next year when they graduated. She countered the incarcerous spell with a careful diffindo, cutting the ropes before they settled around her. He was annoyed, but so was she. "You'll make a great cop one day, Detective Inspector Boring," she taunted, following it with a canary transfiguration hex for his inevitable sqwarking.

“I am not!” Teddy's voice cracked. He stomped his foot too for emphasis but it was the leg he'd just whacked on the platform. It sent a shooting pain through him, "Agh bloody-" He used his good leg to hop out of the way of the hex which skimmed past him. That never happened that he knew something was off. This duel wasn’t going his way, and panic was starting to creep in because Teddy always won. Always. And to make matters worse, he'd just noticed that Hugo was watching!

He tried to disguise the discomfort he had getting back to the central position on his end of the platform, pretending he wasn’t in any pain at all. That would highlight weakness and Teddy wasn't weak. Nor was he boring! “Why would you even say that? You know I want to join the Auror office right?!" He circled back to the boring conversation he was really bothered by. "Obscuro" he cast in a bid to blind Audrey and regain the upper hand.
