Past 12:30 in the Afternoon.

Ravenclaw seemed to dive fully into arsonist tactics, and reaped great rewards in doing so.

With an utter lack of mercy, Avis and Aislin locked onto Tatiana—a distinct swap with Ally, who'd been struggling to properly down their adversary. Together, the duo launched an assault of fury and flames that overtook the young girl, who'd sent out a spell of her own just to miss the attack. Stray flames clung to her top in the aftermath, no doubt causing pain from the intense heat.

Aodhan, despite leaning forward with interest, winced at the sight. "Sheesh, the Murder of Merlin aren't called that for nothing. They've nearly burnt Tatiana to a crisp! The Fire Nation would be proud." For a second, he was torn between greatly enjoying the violence and actually doing his job. But after squinting at Tatiana, he decided she was well enough to keep fighting. For now at least.

Seeing as her rivalry was put on hold, Ally settled for battling the other threat on the pitch. Just as Verity summoned another plume of fog over Avis and Aislin, she was struck by Ally's quick cast of Tarantallegra.

"You—dude! I wanna be able to see too!" Aodhan whined, just to stop and realize that right, other people could hear him do that. He had to redirect their attention. "I mean... Wow, what a masterful attack by Ally! Look at that guys! Verity seems to be doing the—wait, she's actually moonwalking. What the heck?"

It was clear that perhaps Vera held off on playing defensive for too long, with the barrage of spells that came soon after. Neither herself nor Tatiana had the same luck of dodging everything as they did the previous round. Now, Vera found herself shuffling backwards while trying to imitate someone walking forwards—moonwalking, as Aodhan had kindly pointed out. It would've been nice if the spell had chosen a style she was more comfortable with, though, because now she had to bear the mental load of dancing and trying to cast her next spell.

Action: as strategized

Tatiana was caught off guard as flames began to lick at her sleeves, she stumbled backwards before forcing herself upright, her jaw clenched tight “Fuck.”, she hissed, steadying her wand despite the burn, her eyes locking onto the Ravenclaws as though she were some restless, ravenous predator pouncing on her prey, her eyes malicious and her smile unnervingly crooked.

Action: as strategized

Ally Craig was actually surprised that she had managed to hit Verity with her Tarantallegra, so much so that when the other girl had started dancing, Ally couldn't help but be proud, but she also knew that it was best to remain calm and collected. She had been happy to even get the opportunity to duel, but she was also happy that she had managed to even make it this far with her teammates.

Action: As previously discussed and Strategized

Beaming after setting someone on fire probably was not very sportsmanlike, but admittedly Aislin wasn't thinking in that dimension at all as it happened. The fire was no doubt very unfortunate and very painful for Tatiana. But for Aislin it was a notable success after a string of nothingness, reason to stand a little taller and look a little prouder in the few seconds before the fog, once again, swallowed her whole.

Her teammates might not be able to see her, but they could still hear her and her call of, "That was great!" Between Avis' distraction tactics and their string of one, two, three hits, Ravenclaw had delivered a decisive round of spells. It was a good feeling.

Saturday, February 14th, 2026.
Past 12:30 in the Afternoon.

The duel continued with vigor as both sides fired off their attacks. Well, most of them attacked; Tatiana had chosen to remain vigilant, ready to avoid spells at a moment's notice. Unfortunately for her, fire still danced along her clothes, the extreme heat creating streaks of pain that were simply too much to handle.

However, in the seconds before Tatiana succumbed to her injuries, Verity had stood tall and fired an incendio towards Ally. And while her aim was true, Ally was able to retaliate with a spell of her own, casting a flipendo that struck Verity head-on.

Now, Aodhan was unsure how much Avis was able to see through the fog. But perhaps Ravenclaw's teamwork was so immaculate that they happened to be on the same wavelength, causing her to target Verity at almost the exact same time. With a cast that was far too well-aimed, all things considered, the young metamorphmagus was hit once again. This time around, her legs spasmed and forced her to hit the ground, keeping her down for the count.

Amidst the chaos, Aislin had shown she was listening to Aodhan's pleas by nullifying the magical mist. He didn't have the mind to thank her, though—he was far more concerned with the two injured Hufflepuffs before him, along with their statue of a teammate.

"STOOPPPP!!!" he shouted before turning to the crowd, "My wonderful audience, it seems we've reached a conclusion! The Blazing Badgers are unable to fight, meaning... The Murder of Merlin are your winners! Give them a rousing round of applause!"

due to the double KO, and Alex's inactivity...
RAVENCLAW WINS!
