PV Tracey & Maisie Ready, Set, Blast!

They were Ravenclaws adept on their feet. As the moon walking finally seemed to have ceased, Maisie saw Tracey's new spell—something she didn't recognize—streak across the air in her direction. But what exactly it was didn't really matter; what mattered was getting the hell out of the way. One foot ahead of the other, Maisie managed to step out of the way just in time.

Not needing time to settle her feet, she held fast to her wand and send a swift Wingardium Leviosa in Tracey's direction. They'd learned in Charms that this spell was all about creative use. Levitating Tracey's robes—and therefore the girl along with them—seemed like a good unexpected strategy.

But it was not to be: Tracey moved out of the way just as skillfully as the first year had. It was almost uncanny how similar the two girls had been this whole time. But that didn't bother Maisie. No, it just meant she was keeping pace with a real duellist, as reported in real time by Sere. And Maisie wanted desperately to believe it wasn't sheer dumb luck. Maybe, just maybe she had skill.

Time would tell.

But for now, there was still a match at hand and she couldn't loose focus. 'Next round,' as Sere reminded them. With a nod, she acknowledged Tracey as they continued.

The effects of the Dancing-Feet Spells the Ravenclaws had casted on each other were now completely gone, with Tracey regaining control over her own feet. Both seemed to be in good situation now.

Sere watched the two with her arms folded for the fourth round. Tracey casted a spell that was very popular among duelists, The Konckback Jinx. This spell was also Sere's one pick in certain conditions. Flipendo was casted successfully, but for the third time in the match Maisie managed to dodge the spell. "She is doing so well." Sere muttered to herself as she saw a new potential for the Murder of Merlin: Ravenclaw duelling team.

Maisie threw another Tarantallegra, might have a little amount of intention to repeat her success earlier. Unfortunately, this time she couldn't see her opponent dancing on the piste because Tracey was able to dodge very well, almost perfectly. "Both of them have good dodging skills." The Gryffindor girl analyzed the situation in front of her. As usual, typical Sere.

"You guys can also use this opportunity to practice aiming accurately at your opponents!" After saying that, Sere called for the fifth round to start, silently hoping for a little bit intriguing scene to happen on the next round.

They were on even ground. Maisie honestly was very surprised they'd gone through three or four rounds now each hitting and evading skillfully. Most people probably would have thought the little first year would be in the hospital wing by now. Instead, the girls seemed evenly matched, but she was glad not only for her own efforts; she hoped this was providing good training for Tracey. After all, that's what she had asked for.

"You guys can also use this opportunity to practice aiming accurately at your opponents!" called Sere from the floor.

Right, Maisie reminded herself. Shaking her head, it was a little embarrassing that only that very first spell had been able to connect. Then again, she was a first year after all. And it seemed Tracey was just as good at side stepping spells. (She should be, as a real duellist.) If Maisie took nothing else from this forray in duelling, it might just be how important it is to avoid getting hit—that kept you in the game.

And some game this was. Tugging on her braided hair, she considered what happens now. But, of course, there was no way to know. The only thing she could know was that she was still in this thing and she was determined to do her very best. Hopefully, that would be enough.

"Okay, another second-year spell!" Sere said as she watched Tracey cast The Weather-Modyfying Charm into the air above Maisie. The spell that could be learned from the second-year Astronomy subject seemed to be cast easily by Tracey. A dark cloud immediately formed above the first-year and rain began to fall, added with worrying thunderous sounds.

Sere was -again- unsure if Maisie knew what kind of spell she was dealing with, so this time Sere tried to give Maisie initial information about Metelojinx, "Maisie, you know, maybe the rain cloud looked like giving you no effect. True, it won't affect you right now, but it can strike you with its lightn--Oh my gosh..." The Gryffindor girl didn't get to finish her sentence when the lightning struck Maisie immediately, "Too late." Sere exhaled, "Are you okay?"

After the lightning strike, Maisie still managed to cast another Dancing-Feet Spell successfully, although Tracey now seemed unwilling to dance that her strong will made her dodged Maisie's Tarantallegra. "Can't you just show her a little bit of your dance move? She really wants to see it again, apparently."

Quite an interesting round, and both duelists were still standing strong until the halfway of the match. Will they last until the very end? Only time will tell.

Things could shift on the duelling field in a second. After rounds and rounds of evading one another's spells, a dark cloud settled over the dias—literally. Her eyes widened as she craned her head upwards. And became very clear that this was no gentle cloud; there was rain there—and goodness knew what else.

Turns out, Sere definitely knew what spell this was even if Maisie had yet to encounter it in her textbooks. "Oka—" she tried to respond as Sere was explaining that wasn't inherently dangerous, just possibly dangerous. But as the Gryffindor had said, it was too late: lightning struck down from the cloud, filling the space immediately around her with with light as the bolt connected with her shoulder. The first year let out a yelp as she jump and the hairs not secured in her plait stood on end.

Somewhere in the distance Sere asked if she was all right. Maisie blinked just in time to see Tracey evade another spell. (She really was quite good at that.) As she took a few seconds to catch her breath and smooth down her hair slightly, the cloud still looming above her, Maisie closed her eyes to try to strength her resolve. As they fluttered back open, she turned her wand in hand. Perhaps unlike the second year, when it came to spells she didn't have a whole lot of choice. That only left creative problem solving. Extending her wand out towards Tracey, she finally replied to Sere, "I—I will be." Hospital wing or not, she asked for this—she answered the advert—so come what may, she'd be okay.

The sixth round began, still with rain cloud above Maisie, but this time the cloud did not create lightning strikes so Maisie could breathe a sigh of relief. Unfortunately the relief didn't last long because Tracey tested her skill again with The Knockback Jinx, and this time she managed to hit her target with a good accuracy. "An offensive spell is casted straight on the target!" Sere could see Maisie being pushed back some distance from where she was standing because of the Flipendo. One annoying thing was seeing that rain cloud followed the girl even though she was pushed back. Sere restrained herself from taking her wand out from under her robe and casting a countercharm for that Metelojinx, get rid of that cloud. Hold yourself, Sere. This is a normal practicing situation.

The Gryffindor girl could also see Maisie's efforts to keep casting spells in the midst of her difficult situation. This time the first-year tried to debuff her opponent with the Green Sparks Charm. Sere still remembered clearly that the spell was one of the first dueling spells she learned from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The green light would have certainly dazzled anyone's eyes, but... hey, it didn't hit Tracey right on its supposed place, seemed a little bit miss. "I think that was an impaired hit," Sere said hesitantly, "But it's hard to judge. For now, let's move on to the next round."
