The trailblazing of the cracker jinx sent stinky smoke into the high ceilings, revealing its carnage.

Avery watched as disappointment flooded the faces of most, and he relished that Vale was the kind of witch to rub it in after such an impressive spell; they shared that in common. Each of them realed in some kind of manner, before they each recognised movements in the other side; and all of them instinctively raised their wands at the same time...

Ming took a strategic step and his wand arched up as he called forth a storm, the incantation barely heard as the cracks of thunder and flashes of lightning began to form in the sky above the Vale and Avery. Leveret had never seen the Metelojinx from this angle; only having been under it, or seen it over his enemies, but from his slightly raised position it didn't look nearly as scary. Could Chen and Ashwood say the same as two bolts of lightning sparked and struck the piste; a short distance from either of them.

Chen's spell didn't leave his wand, instead; a small spark and a trail of smoke of fizzled magical power that had failed to manifest. He wasn't having a good duel so far. Neither team seemed to have a clear lead just yet, but Avery felt that if Chen pulled it together, that might be a different story; only betraying his thoughts with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Vale's cast was a ferocious bolt of roaring flame, but for whatever reason; be it the unsettling storm above or something other; it missed Ming by a considerable degree. Had the bespectacled boy put on his game-hat? Had she missed because in the corner of her eye, and through the discordant sound of the storm she heard his sister take aim and cast the Dancing-Feet Spell. Wide again, it went leaving none on the piste injured this round. Avery seemed content enough to simply nod them on again, expectantly; why waste breath on commentating a rather unexciting barter of spells; he'd much prefer to see how the participants would react to the strategies of the other; to see if they'd call them out and begin to add to the dance with a few words of poisonous song.

As a large, foreboding cloud left Ming's wand and formed above his and Vale's heads, he looked at it with amusement. He had never been struck by its lightning before, and wondered what it would be like to get hit by something at random and without warning. It was not like watching the field for blatchers and bludgers, where the smallest actions could betray an opponent's plans. He shrugged. There was no point in worrying about it now.

He began casting his next spell, but one half of his mind still lingered on the cloud overhead. His careless cast fizzled into a few sparks at the tip of his wand and his face dropped. "Aww, man..." he mumbled in disappointment. "I was looking forward to some dancing..." He was sure that Ming would've been a great dancer, with his lithe limbs and a hilariously stoic expression.

He hardly noticed as Vale's fire-making spell missed its mark. Well, at least she was successful in casting, wasn't she?

Wow, he was really useless so far. Dueling was not his forte. He'd made enough people dance in his first year at Hogwarts, but perhaps he was out of practice after not having dueled much at all in the past year.

However, he quickly reminded himself why he was here, just to snap out of his self-pity, and raised his wand with renewed vigor.

Action: As strategized

A deep sigh escaped Vale's mouth. Nobody set alight, her opponent appeared to have been done in by some sort of miracle.

The familiar scent of burning no longer invited itself to her perky nose. A scent that reminded her so well of her beloved home. She turned her newly uninspiration towards her partner in crime, watching him barely flicker out a spell from his wand. Sigh, it was like going to a funeral with no body in the coffin. Was Avery's wand broken? He could've at least just set himself on fire. Vale would've clapped for his achievement.

As Vale was forcing herself to overcome her grievances, an equally, familiar sound of roaring thunder echoed above her. Her amber eyes flicker up, and to her sense of wonder and awe, a dark, looming cloud lingered above her and Avery. It was dark, gloomy. Vale's agony changed to a sense of belonging.

It felt like home.

She would clap at the cast, as if proud of said dark, looming grayness that threatened her very existence. At home, there was always a sense of grayness. A chance that her bedroom's window was kindly visited by a whirling storm by the cliffside. It helped her sleep better in the hintering morning as she would scurry around in the midst of the night. Oh, why can't her schooling be active at the proper schedule for a growing, young girl?

A new, more inspired sigh escaped Vale's mouth this time instead. "Oh Avery, can you feel the air surrounding you, ready to encase you in a static, painful death?" It sent a warm pulse in Vale's cold, dead heart. She was almost enticed to just simply sit and allowed the lightning to snare herself. She'd have a story to tell her father on her next time home.

Vale wanted to reach out, to touch the only thing bringing her close to home. All she could do was longingly look towards the sky, turning her eyes back to the two siblings before her. There was no sense of fear. Vale never knew fear. Everyone else, it seemed, to fear her instead. Now at least.

"Finally! Something that risks our very lives! Our battle shall be glorious, and full of death and destruction!" Vale crackled out her hyena-like laughter once more.

"Prehaps duelling isn't as dull as the stone around us." She hummed, returning back to her stance. Yes, Vale smiled, finally things are changing up.

THE OLDER BROTHER


Image posted by the member
With almost no hesitation Hui-Ming cast his spell, continuing with his plan to go big. It would draw the attention of his housemates, and give his sister the freedom to go ahead and let loose.
But even as the bespectacled Slytherin cast his spell, bracing for the impact of a volley of incoming spellfire; and was rewarded for his wariness of Ashwood by being able to sidestep the Incendio sent his way, helped partially by the jinx sent her way by his sister; and partially by the Slytherin girl’s own fixations.

A small nod to his sister, as he tried to wordlessly acknowledge her contribution. For someone who was not an active duelist, she was performing acceptably; though her spell choice was perhaps a bit more limited than the duel he had facilitated with the Slytherins back when he himself was her age.

She was here to have fun, and he wouldn’t hold her strategy against her.

…Speaking of fun though, he turned his attention momentarily to Avery Chen. Bright, boisterous, and energetic; the Slytherin Chaser seemed to be enjoying himself, for all that they were slinging spells at each other.

“Brings back memories, doesn’t it Avery?” he called out to what would be his best friend here at Hogwarts; the ghost of a smile lingering on the corner of his lips at the other boys antics. Perhaps he should drag the boy dancing sometime, Avery might surprise him as he had with music. “Except we’re using spells instead of tomatoes this time”


The curtains fell. And the silence was deafening

Ying wanted to follow her brother's words, "take a deep breath and focus. This is all about having fun and nothing more!" This thoughts crossed her mind on repeat, as a mantra so she could make her heart and emotions follow its intent. But all was proving to be fruitless and it started to bothering her. Fun? without a spell working? Just standing there stepping aside from spells that were not even cast at her? Like...her definition of fun was really missing there as far as her spells and that was upsetting!

She did breathe though, gave it a try, a deep breath and a master effort to keep her mind in place. But it wasn't working. When Chen's spell was more stubborn than her, and refused to leave his wand she felt that maybe the roll of luck was starting to change. It gave her hope at least!

As always to compensate, Ming's spell was impressive! For her at least, as she had never seen anyone using it in any of the matches she witnessed or participated in. To bad that the lightning had missed its targets though...however, she couldn't understand what was bothering her more, the lightning missing its target or seeing the happy expression on Vale's face, as if that had been a gift and not a jinx sent her way, threatening to burn her through merciless threads of energy. That girl was unsettling!

Ming's voice, thanks Merlin, was proving to be her way to balance and clean her mind from whatever disturbing feelings she was battling. A smirk finally appeared in the young girl's face, a mix of amusement and incredibility. "Have you been throwing tomatoes at each other? When did that happened?" She asked in a quiet voice to her brother. How many stories he hadn't yet told her? That was a scenario in which she was having difficulty imagining her brother participating. The always so tidily composed Ming, putting himself in the middle of a vegetable fight? That was something she would like to have seen!

"Alright, let's do this, I'm tired of missing spells!" Ying said, looking at her opponets and fighting her thoughts that were keeping distracting her from the challenge in front of her.

─▪──────────────▪─
-----
Almost as soon as the merciless winds and stormcloud were summoned, Avery Chen’s aspen wand shot to the sky and dispelled the rumbling threat from above. The static that was constantly building, as though a snake preparing to strike at prey, ready to flash into action and leave one of them with some serious injuries; until it wasn’t. It was rather anticlimactic but perhaps there was something more to it. Leveret understood that there were moves and countermoves to duelling, like in Wizarding Chess.

What wasn’t expected was the winds continued as the last of the clouds dispersed; Fang Hui-Ming had launched another volley of wind forward that rushed across the piste to his opponents. Leveret also knew that he was a sound strategist, perhaps he had laid this trap, two moves in advance. Vale was the target now, perhaps the siblings had identified what Leveret had; she was the threat. She was struck squarely, as the wind threatened to take her off her feet. It felt as though she was in a wind tunnel, the forces of magic so strong around her that it laboured her movements.

Hui-Ying took aim at the same time, launching a perfect flipendo that propelled through the air with some force. It was a powerful blast, but it missed by less than an inch; sailing past vale and striking the wall of the duelling room behind. If it weren’t for the enchantments on the walls, it would surely have cracked the stone beneath its magical weight. Vale fought the winds and in her reply summoned another fire-cracker like jinx to send across the piste. Her aim was off massively, but the beauty of the spell was in the chaos that followed from the initial burst. Ming was the intended target, managing to steer clear of more destroyed robes; but Ying; Ying was once again struck by the blast of a zipping, coiling, sparkling mini-firework that set off inches from her face, leaving her covered in a thick layer of black soot.

Leveret uncross his arms and leaned upon the moderator’s railing. His grin meant only one thing; this was becoming an interesting duel now that the siblings had struck back.

Unbelievable! There was no other word to describe the scenario in front of the young Gryffindor. "For the love of..." Ying began a seething curse, muttering her words and briefly closing her eyes. When she remembered, she was fighting alongside her older brother. Shutting herself up before saying something worse, she sent him an apologetic look, before turning to face their opponents.

But seriously, there must be some jinx or invisible curse against her, what else could explain so much bad luck?

Ying looked up at the mass of black clouds flying over Vale and Chen, which looked like a living image of how she was feeling, a torrent of impending lightning, prevented by some external force from striking. Her hand wrapped tightly around her wand, as her eyes focused directly in front of her, on no specific point, unfocusing from her surroundings and trying to find the strength within herself to remain detached from everything that was happening and center herself. She trusted her brother, was impossible to not see how a brilliant wizard he was becoming, and she knew she was far better than what she was showing so far. Maybe something else was having its influence at her, but she couldn't keep it having a hold on her emotions.

Another deep breathe, before her eyes slowly lock on her next target...

Although it would be interesting to see how much a lightning strike would hurt, and whether it would paradoxically make it easier to tame his birds' nest of hair, he felt it would be a good time to show off his knowledge of the Weather-Modifying Countercharm. Surprisingly, it was actually a spell that he remembered how to cast.

He aimed his wand towards the storm cloud, recited the incantation, and performed the countercharm miraculously well. He grinned proudly as the cloud disappeared. "Ha! -- Sorry Vale, just trying to be useful!" It was the first thing he managed to accomplish this duel, thank god. Hopefully, Vale wouldn't be too disappointed that he made her source of suspenseful horror disappear.

His ears perked as he Ming called out to him, bringing back memories of when they slung tomatoes at each other during summer camp before their first year at Hogwarts. A grin spread on Avery's small face as he remembered the summer he befriended Ming and actually got to see his relaxed and carefree side. Oh, Ming, that uptight enigma of a boy who people always seemed to have difficulty figuring out or connecting with; Ming was someone Avery himself seemed to not fully agree with, but at least he felt he understood him.

"I remember that we had each landed a hit," Avery recalled. "You think you can finally beat me this time?" he nudged with a little grin. He then directed his attention to Ying's expression of disbelief. He couldn't blame the girl for her surprise. "And only your brother would think to wear a fresh white shirt to a tomato war," he chuckled. Ming's appearance was always neat and smart, but this positive trait surely did him no good when tomatoes flew through the air.

When Ming's Ventus struck Vale, he quickly turned to her. "Vale, are you okay?" he asked instinctively, but then thought he would already know her answer. He had to give credit to Ming for knowing such an advanced spell so early during their third year. Avery knew that he would have to step up his game, too.

A bit of wind meant nothing to Vale. She felt worse at her very home on a cliffside of Scotland. With a easy brushing, she fixed her braids. The smile on her face did not leave. It was only when she noticed that a fellow broom captain moved to risk a spell her way that she made a wider smile.

The spell was beautifully casted, Vale could admit. But Vale was left unbothered as she watched the spell wisped past her. Honestly, it was nice to potentially scare her enemies away but now its far more difficult to find cockroaches and bugs for her pet spider-

Oh, this wind was actually a lot more harder to deal with than she expected. It's almost harder to manuever even. Just standing was difficult. Nevertheless, the intensity was thrilling.

Too bad that Avery, finally, did a spell right and it was to get rid of the exciting odds of death looming above them. Sigh, what a waste.

"Don't worry, my partner in crime! We will just have to await another time filled with dreadful pain and agony! Surely similar to...tomato throwing? Why not just eat them...?" She brushed off her robes, even if it meant nothing in the gush of wind that's nearly blowing her away. Her boyfriend's concern of her health was almost left unnoticed.

"Don't fear, Avery! These winds only feel like a lovely breeze of death." Vale kept her signature smile, turning her body back to the siblings before her as she barely kept her stance.

"They're only just realizing how much danger they're in, is all." If Vale had fangs, she'd be showing them off. Hm! Maybe she should get her teeth sharpen, would make eating a lot more easier.

THE OLDER BROTHER


Image posted by the member
Reflexively, the bespectacled Slytherin brought a hand up to cover his face as if to cover a cough, but in reality to mask the small smile that he could not but help but concede. Here he was, watching Hui-Ying try her hardest against people who were both older and more experienced than her and holding her own with remarkable ease – and yet all the girl seemed to be able to do was be upset. Instead of taking pride in casting a perfect spell, Hui-Ying seemed more preoccupied with Ashwood infuriating ability to knock people off their game. Perhaps, maybe he could understand some of Avery’s frustrations with him at that point.
Speaking of his best friend, the boisterous Slytherin had gone ahead and nullified his cast of thunderclouds. A part of him could freely admit that Avery surprised him – the boy who ran from fowls in his first year was now going toe to toe with him, without needing handicaps.
Well, no handicaps aside from Ashwood. The hairs on the back of his neck were still standing, and his eyes kept returning to her with routine frequency – it was as if a part of him expected her to… he did not know what.

But there was definitely something off about the girl. And he did not like it one little bit.

The curtains fell. And the silence was deafening
