2025/26 Stage II Gryffindor VS Slytherin: Match 3

Finally a good round! Only marginally, but Mahlioz and Draven both decided to go for a Ventus, and it worked out rather successfully. To be fair, the Slytherin's joy was short-lived, as they were immediately hit with a very well-aimed flipendo (to which they did let out a somewhat embarrassing yelp - listen, it hurt, okay?). The match was nearly over, and they were so very close to winning, but there was no telling what team was making it out victorious. Mahlioz could only pray the duelling gods would have pity on them.

Both teams chose two double actions. Sere's Flipendo missed, and the Regal Roar was under Ventus's wind effect. The only consolation was that Vladislav succeeded with his Knockback Jinx. They still had a chance to win this match.

The final round was in looming. What should she do? Another offensive, healing herself or dodging? Sere squinted, finding it difficult to see what the opposing team planend to do with all this wind surrounding her.

WC : 74/50
Action : Sent. Thank you for the duel, and thank you for the moderation!

Day 2 morning slot

This duel was coming to an end, something that was easily visible in the actions of both teams. Both of them seeming to have decided that going out with a bang was the best course of action, as the last few spells flew over the piste.

It looked like Draven wasn't quite on the same page though, maybe he had decided that they had won either way and thus his spells weren't necessary or he hadn't realised that they weren't quite done yet? Either way the Slytherin hadn't moved to cast his last spell and had seemingly left himself open to get hit, a powerful Cracker Jinx landing at his feet and doing some decent damage. Mahlioz however managed to just about avoid the small explosions attempting to hurt her.

Sere also seemed to want to cast a matching Cracker Jinx however Mylo wasn't quite sure what had happened but nothing left her wand, a sour note to leave a duel on.

It looked like Mahlioz had the best round out of all of them, her Flipendo splitting off and targetting both of the Gryffindors, hitting the two of them square in their chests. Securing their victory as even at a quick glance Mylo could see that the lions were a lot more injured than the snakes.

Stepping up to the two teams Mylo raised his hands.

"Okay, wands down please this duel has finished! Thank you all for your hard work and amazing spell casting, however there can only be one winner."

Pointing their hand at the Slytherins Mylo continued their little speech.

"Congratulations to the Slytherins; Mahlioz Evethisawe and Draven Mirador for your victory! Please make sure to go and get yourselves check out and to have your wounds healed, and once again well done to both teams!"

SLYTHERIN WINS
