| --- | --- Henry had made a few things quite clear when he'd agreed to mod this match. He would only do this if it was on a Saturday afternoon, that way he could sleep in. And also that if anyone managed to set him on fire, he was allowed to return the favor. A note befitting any Hufflepuff moderator worth their salt, he was sure. Perhaps a stipulation could have been included on which Saturday. That way he could have time to actually do some research on how dueling worked - he'd snuck in to quietly watch a game or two last year, but had only recently been added to the Blazing Badgers himself - unfortunately, it was not to be. Before he could even think of doing so, the day had been agreed upon and... well, it would be rude to say no. So he'd spent the past few nights frantically reading over the duties of the position he'd been handed. His new wand had stubbornly refused to cooperate in the days leading up to the match. But that probably had nothing to do with the fact that it absolutely hated when he didn't advocate for his boundaries. It was probably just getting used to him, that's all. For sure. The short boy idled up to the piste and took his place, looking back and forth between the younger Ravenclaw (someone who had become a friend of his in the past year) and an Gryffindor upperclassman, Lily, if his memory served. He blinked at Fawkes, suddenly wondering if she'd entirely lost her mind, but who was he to judge her dueling someone with more than twice her schooling. But then again, he'd only passed some of his classes last year with her help, so maybe she had a plan. He cleared his throat, "Right! Well, good luck to both of you! Have fun! Try not to seriously hurt one another, if you can help it? I reckon that'd look bloody bad on my part if I let that happen. Alright, get to your places. Ready? Begin!" |

Lily found herself grumbling as she entered the duelling club and raised a hand in greeting to the spectator of this fateful duel, Henry Holbrook. She had no idea how she got involved with this one to be honest. How she was dueling with another second year, even if she is a duelling captain. That may have started it since Lily has ambitions to be a captain herself one day. Which shouldn't be too hard if a second year got the position. Lily rolled her shoulders as she waited for the ravenclaw to show up. Honestly Lily loved duelling but the a.ount of duels she's already had this year kinda scared her. And a couple were with enemies, not exactly a duel just for fun like this one hopefully was. Though usually things that are just for fun don't end up with you unconscious or potentially hurt really bad. That was the only danger with duelling and one that actually didn't scare her, like other sports did. Once she did they got into their respective positions and Lily raised her wand to start casting spells. After bowing of course. You must always have manners even if you hope your competition does terribly.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━sta 06|eva 07| str 03| wis 09| arc 07| acc 08━━━━━━ Prodigal Astronomy Learner | Wandmaker ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━This was becoming a recurring theme now. Fawkes couldn't help wanting to fight against the older years tho. It was so much fun. She truly enjoyed the feeling of duelling the older years even if it didn't always turn out the best.
Today, she had gotten Henry to mod the duel for her. Now the question was who exactly to fight? Well her question had been answered for her. An older Gryffindor girl was Fawkes' duelling opponent for the day. She vaguely knew who the girl was. The McCoires were rather well known in the castle. Well more specifically Colin was but that didn't mean the reputation didn't extend to the others. In particular, her opponent was Lily McCoire.
Well she didn't know much about the girl beyond the fact she was part of the McCoires. Fawkes didn't usually interact with the older students beyond duels such as this. Actually considering how often she did duel older students she knew quite a few of them now. Well now wasn't the time to reminisce. Now was the time to duel.
She found herself face to face with Lily and bowed slightly in greeting. May the best duellist win! She exclaimed before raising her wand ready to cast.

Henry had just settled into his seat when the spells started flying. He crossed one leg over the other as he kept watch. His notebook laid open against the angled leg, and his blue eyes occasionally flicked down to scan across the notes he'd scrawled out in his glittery green ink - just to make sure neither Fawkes nor Lily were breaking any of the rules he barely knew. So far seemingly so good.
He was glad to see that both duelists were being properly respectful to one another. With how brutal he was certain these matches could be, it was probably a good sign that things were off to a cordial start.
Now that he gave it some thought - it seemed more than a bit ironic to him that Fawkes was taking on a relative of the Astronomy professor, given that seemed to be her subject of choice. Maybe it was a tactic to try and get extra credit? He didn't remember seeing 'please go toe to toe with my kin, bonus points if you win' in the syllabus, but then again he'd only skimmed it.
No matter - there was little time to consider that now. The match had officially begun.
Fawkes struck first: a hex Henry wasn't familiar with yet - Impedimenta. He supposed it must be one he'd eventually learn in a higher year. Lily attempted to dodge, but the precisely aimed spell caught her in the side of her knee and it seemed to hobble her more than a little. Judging by the incantation, the impairment to her mobility was hardly a surprising effect for the spell to have.
Lily's spell followed soon after. The Hufflepuff moderating the match was surprised that he knew this one - he'd learned it last year. Where Fawkes had been going for a debuff against the Gryffindor, her opponent was coming out of the gate swinging with a Knockback Jinx. And a wonderfully executed spell at jinx at that, albeit one with an aim that was ever so slightly askew. Lucky for her, Fawkes - perhaps still ecstatic that she'd managed to land her spell against a girl 3 years her senior - didn't react QUITE soon enough to evade it. Rough break. Still! She'd managed to pull away enough that she didn't look as hurt as she might have otherwise.
Glancing blows from both opponents thus far, but everyone still had all their limbs intact so it was a promising start! He was excited to see where it went from here.

Lily was enjoying round one so far. She cast her spell a first. A nice Flipendo. She moved her wand in the required movement and whispered the incantation. Her spell casting was almost perfect, that even Fawkes barely dodged it. It hit her arm and sent the much younger girl back. The spell didn't cause the girl as much damage as Lily had hoped but at least it was something. Fawkes cast back at her an Impedimenta. And jees these people here really like that spell, don't they. The other duels she had witnessed and/or participated n, this spell was always cast at least once. Really, Lily should start casting this spell becaue apparently its a favorite around these parts. Lily tried to dodge but the spell caught her knee and she felt herself slowing. She grumbled unhappily but that was a part of any duel. She had to get used to it. She raised her wand to cast another spell at Fawkes. She prayed that Impedimenta had not completely messed up her accuracy because if it did Lily was definitely not going to be happy. She needed her accuracy to take Fawkes out...in a good way of course. She took a breath and started to move her wand.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━sta 06|eva 07| str 03| wis 09| arc 07| acc 08━━━━━━ Prodigal Astronomy Learner | Wandmaker ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Impedimenta. It was a spell she had recently learnt how to cast. And she absolutely loved the spell. It slowed down the opponent making them either easier to hit or easier to dodge their spells. Both worked in her favour. Especially against her senior.
Her spell had hit. Barely. Actually to be more specific it had hit her knee. Not exactly what Fawkes was aiming for but it served the purpose she needed it to. Honestly it seemed the girl wasn't the most experienced when it came to duelling. Which was a bit of a surprise to her but at the same time she knew some people just stuck to one sport and didn't touch the others for years. She couldn't blame them. She herself was scared to play quidditch after all. Broom racing? she wasn't too sure on her stance with the sport but she was certain with her love for duelling.
Unfortunately, she wasn't paying attention to her opponent during this train of thought and dodged a bit too late. She was partially hit by the spell. She let out a small hiss of pain but it faded rather quickly. Her only worry was the fact she knew no healing spells whatsoever. But that wasn't about to stop her. She raised her wand again.
