It definitely could've been worse, it was a shame Eun-ji got hit and Delilah missed, but it definitely could've gone way worse. They will just have to hope that they could get better luck next time. It wasn't too often that Dels spells missed, so it was interesting to see it go off around Alec instead of touching him.

Now that Meenauh was back up and standing, she wasted no time in healing Alec who hadn't been looking so great but seemed improved after the Episkey from his partner. In fact, one might say that this round was going very well for Gryffindor, as not only did Alec escape another of Delilah's persistent knockback jinxes, but his aim continued its impressive precision as his own knockback jinx met its mark on Eun-ji.

For her part, and despite the constant flurry of incoming spells round after round, Eun-ji was looking like she'd be back in the duel soon. Despite the blindfold and disarming earlier, and the ventus last round, and the knockback jinx this one, it looked like she'd finally found her wand. Eun-ji had withstood all those hits, an impressive feat in its own right, but to do all that and still look ready to keep duelling? Nessie was in full respect and awe.

The duel had been going on for some time now, and the young Hufflepuff checked the time just to make sure. There would probably only be a few more rounds left before time expired ...

The surge went down from her heart and through the wand towards Alec. It was almost instant, but she could feel the spell taking effect on Alec. Patching up in time was as important as dealing some damage.

Which Alec, by the way, was doing very well. And at the same time — dodging spells from Delilah. Quite an interesting boy he was. She was looking at him for a while before unpausing the duel for herself and catching up with the train of thoughts, which should bring her to the final destination — the next step.

Eun-ji was no stranger to pain so when the next spell hit her, she barely flinched. It was definitely not a pleasant experience however and she’d rather not repeat the same next round as well. It may have not knocked her out and she was able to find her wand but she was not invincible. She felt each and every spell as any other person would. It also didn’t help that Meenauh managed to heal Alec while Del missed for the second time in a row. It almost felt like their luck run out but she was not about to give up. There was still plenty they could do in order to salvage situation. Surely next round would be better for the Ravenclaw team.

After casting the Knockback jinx Alec smiled towards Meenauh as he felt himself instantly rejuvenated. He would narrowly avoid a knockback jinx from Delilah before feeling safe enough to take a moment and stop to quirk an eyebrow at Meenauh with an inquisitive hum. “Pretty effective healing charm,” Alec complimented, going through a mental list of all the spells he knew; Alec would take a second to recognize it. He had only learned of Episkey this year, still with how effective it seemed to be, it was a good thing to keep in mind if another ball went awry.

Well that didnt go well either, Delilahs spells were missing left, right and centre and she was quite unhappy about it. The usually relatively cheerful girl had a somewhat scowl on her face as she watched the dash of light shoot by her target for the second time in a row. Almost shouting out a curse word, her emotions really did rely on how well they were doing.

Certainly, this round could've gone better for Delilah, whose impediment jinx backfired on its caster, leaving her slowed. But for Ravenclaw, there was a bright spot in that Eun-ji's attempt to heal looked quite successful, and Nessie couldn't help but admire the quality of the healing spell.

But although Delilah was spared any further misfortune from the wands of the Gryffindors, Eun-ji would not be able to heal in peace. In an impressive display of coordination, both Gryffindor duellists aimed for Eun-ji. While the Ravenclaw showed amazing skill in dodging Meenauh's pressurized water charm, this left Eun-ji vulnerable to Alec's well-aimed wind jinx, which met its mark leaving her at the mercy of the gust of wind.

With only a couple rounds remaining, would all the duellists make it through to the end? Nessie wished so, as she never enjoyed watching anybody go down, but she'd seen enough of duelling firsthand to know better than to hope for such an outcome. These duellists were fierce, and their expertise was far beyond her own. All she could do was study carefully and learn, and do her best to ensure their safety in the match.

This was bad. The Ravenclaw team started the duel with a bang but now, nothing seemed to be going their way. Del kept missing and this time her spell even backfired further hindering any future efforts. Of course, Eun-ji herself wasn't doing much better. She managed to heal herself only to be hit with yet another gust of wind from Alec. This would no doubt throw her off for a bit and she'd have a hard time avoiding whatever came her way next if the Gryffindors targeted her again. Well at least she managed to dodge Meenauh's spell. It wasn’t great but certainly better than nothing at all. The duel was much more even now and her team was definitely at disadvantage. Hopefully the situation wasn't beyond saving.

Another spell went off. She should continue supporting probably as her targeting has gone rogue it seemed. Her perfected spell-casting was slowly turning to waste as a perfect spell not laid on a target is not a perfect spell.

Whatever she was thinking, it didn't matter anymore. A blink and she saw Delilah backfiring on something. Not something, but SOMETHING! An impediment. It was a sign. They needed to act quick. End it right there, right at that very moment.
