2025/26, Stage 1 Hufflepuff vs Gryffindor: Match 8

UPD: Fixed swapping of Cassian's strength and wisdom stats.

Start

19th October 2025
Day 2 - Afternoon slot

The Hogwarts duelling club had perhaps taken some sort of step down in terms of moderators, though Aislin wasn't aware of this. While the crowd and duellists were certainly expecting someone experienced and knowledgeable to take the stage and kick things off, all professional posture and sure words, Aislin was currently squinting at the list she'd written on a little scrap of parchment one last time, trying to untangle the blend of rules and permitted spells and timing before stepping up to boss around a couple of older kids. What was she even meant to do if someone did decide to tackle someone? Catch them with a Tickling Charm and hope they found the sensation debilitating? At least she'd seen how it all worked yesterday, and it hadn't looked that complicated.

Without the aid of fancy spells that could function like those Muggle things called microphones, Aislin was using all 150 centimeters of her height and her very loudest not-quite-yelling voice when she hopped up on stage to get this thing started. "Taking this stage are Amelia Lerelle, Demitra Aragon, and Verity Engels from Hufflepuff against... Phoenix Zhang, Eonaria Kabukimono, and Cassian Montelise Byrne from Gryffindor!" She hadn't wanted to look at her list mid-announcement, because it wasn't even a nice-looking piece of paper with its clearly torn edges, but she wasn't sure how she was supposed to remember everyone's names otherwise. A few of the faces were familiar from her classes or when she'd trained in the duelling room, and Verity was another of the first year duelling captains, but she was pretty sure a few of these duellists were a year or two older than her.

That made her feel a little sillier telling them the rules, shifting her weight from foot to foot. At her normal volume level, she rushed through the reminders. "So, only magical attacks. No intentional friendly fire. Only use spells from the approved list and keep in mind the time limit." Was there anything big she was forgetting? What else had Pyxis said yesterday? She gave both sides a quick smile. "Just do your best, you know?" Then she just had to move off the stage, check that everyone looked ready, and call out an enthusiastic, "Ready, set, duel!"
