Under Her Wing Finished Unofficial Duel

ROUND FOUR

January 22nd

It didn't take long for the moderator and opponent to notice that Pettely had become rather focused on the fire-making spell hitting at his lack of arsenal but what he lacked in variety he made up for in execution. For a third time in a row the boy flung the crackling flame towards his opponent and struck her with the red coils, only this time they finally found purchase and Tracey found herself unable to completely douse the flames that had caught in her outfit.

Set ablaze the girl had to think quickly, her spell work had never faltered her it was simply that the boy was unnaturally fast for someone so young. Whirling through the list of spells she knew in her head she would show Ravenclaw great pride with her excellently quick thinking, such boundless wit you might mistake her for a snake. Raising her wand to the sky above Pettely's head she conjured a storm cloud to rise above them. Crackling lightning streaking through the dark cloud and bringing a chill to the room. The energy was as electric as the storm cloud as it continued to build and build.

Tracey incantation was flawless, her hand control magnificent and her focus determined but just as she was about to release the spell Pettely's flames jumped up her arm and stung at the flesh of her hand causing her spell to go awry at the last moment. The spell had certainly taken affect but disheartened to both the girl and moderator it had seemingly chosen herself as the target instead. Lightning began crashing down in front of her and while it would miss she would have to think quick if she didn't want to be fried by her own spell.

ROUND FIVE

January 22nd

While the fifth round would not be the most dramatic in terms of action there was a real finesse and technique displayed on both sides of the piste that impressed their moderator more than simple warfare.

Tracey taking herself out of the offensive mindset whirled her red oak wand round in her hand with such precise flourish the flames that had lapsed onto her instantly took off into the air and dissipated. The fluid motion she controlled so gracefully proved that she was not only a fine duellist but a calculated one knowing when best to switch tactics. While the dark brooding cloud above her still hovered above threateningly Tracey stood composed as stone itself as the lightning struck behind her framing her in striking light that Matthew couldn't help but gasp at. She looked magnificently powerful with it as her backdrop as she prepared to face her incoming assault.

Momentarily thrown off by the excellent display of the girls skilful manoeuvring Pettely had to squint his eyes as the blinding lightning cracked behind her illuminating her but blurring his vision. Undeterred he brewed up the familiar fire incantation in his head but perhaps inspired by her creativity or simply eager to prove himself as a master duellist himself Pettely changed his mind and Matthew audibly gasped once more as he incanted the Curse of the Bogies a particularly nasty spell Matthew had unpleasant memories of. For a second he seemed to pause wondering if it was going to take form hinting that he had only recently learned such a spell but nothing would stop the young badger with all the adrenaline coursing through his veins. The spell cast successfully and a horrible flash of mucus coloured bile directed itself straight towards Tracey.

Only it seemed the girls new found tactic had steadied her mind and solidified her defence as she quickly sidestepped a perfect mirror of the speed of the lightning itself. As both duellists escaped unharmed for the round Matthew watched in awe wondering what next the battle had in store for them. Thunder crashing from above filling the room with anticipation he awaited their next moves.

ROUND SIX

January 22nd

Things were really starting to fire up. Gone away was the simple firefight of flung offensive spells. No the students before him were growing, they were thinking smarter not just desperately attempting to hit and their efforts seemingly were being rewarded. Unlike the rounds before where one had seemingly had the advantage over the other the two shot their spells exactly in unison this round both taking the other by surprise and leaving them both unable to evade.

For Pettely the world instantly grew dark a tight bandage forming over his vision denying him entirely from the glory of getting to see his spell land and watch the girl soar into the sky above him. A shame really given it was the first time he had ever managed to use the spell. Memory fresh on his mind he had levitated her clothes remembering his professors telling him about its ineffectual practice on humans and although he couldn't see it the boy was sure his spell had taken affect as the distant hum of magic told him to maintain his concentration on it.

While Tracey did manage to blind her opponent she was shocked to find herself shot up in the air a bird without the wings. Ravenclaw through and through Matthew joked to himself but didn't taunt either in fact he was so impressed he found himself hollering, "Now this is what I call a duel, excellent work duellists lets keep at it. Pettely you'd better free yourself quick!" Strategy burst in his head as he watched the girl eyeing up her mastery of transfiguration a subject he found quite tricky, he really rather admired her in truth. And while the young whippersnapper Pettely could be a bit mouthy he was showing real gumption and strength, he would make an excellent opponent one day but for now he better focus on freeing himself or he'd be in big trouble.
