Practice Makes Perfect PV Henry K

Kazuo’s nose wrinkled in disappointment when Henry dodged the Bogies. He really would have enjoyed watching Henry sniffle the rest of his way through the duel. Ah well, he could always try again… though if he did it definitely wouldn’t be his next spell. The spell that Henry shot at him next was not one he recognized and though he tried to dodge, he wasn’t fast enough. The spell hit him squarely and before he knew it he was bursting into song uncontrollably.

Kazuo wasn’t particularly embarrassed by the spell’s effect. He was a decent singer, his music lessons ensuring decent rhythm and on key. It was an amusing retaliation for his successful attempt to make Henry dance but unlike Henry, he didn’t know the counter spell yet so he would have to cast while also singing. Certainly an interesting challenge but it made a spell with a long incantation much harder to attempt. So he stuck with a simpler spell.

“Flipendo!” He managed to slip the incantation in neatly between lines of song, sending the Knockback Jinx flying at Henry. Unfortunately, his aim wasn’t as stable as previous casts and he grimaced a bit, hoping it would be enough to hit. If not, well maybe he’d try Bogies again… once he could stop singing, that is...

Even though he was still singing, Kazuo managed a wide grin when his Knockback Jinx managed to connect with Henry’s arm. It definitely hadn’t been a good shot, wobbling off to the side a bit but it seemed Henry hadn’t been paying attention. Probably didn’t expect him to be able to get a cast off with the Jinx still on him. Thankfully the Jinx was short-lived but it seemed Henry was determined to keep him from casting any more incantations… using whatever awful means he could. The next spell that the Slytherin sent at him was terrifying, worse even than the Bogies, a Curse he had hoped to never be on the receiving end of. Unfortunately, the spell came at him too quickly for him to dodge and the awful feeling that washed over him as the spell connected drew a horrified look to his face. Then he was doubling over, stomach heaving and eyes watering as the magic forced him to expel the contents of his stomach. Except… what came pouring out of his mouth was not anything he had eaten that day. No, the slimy, wiggly, absolutely disgusting creatures that he vomited onto the grass were slugs.

Now generally, Kazuo had proven to be a good sport. He liked a challenge and he didn’t see losing as a bad thing, merely a sign that he needed to work harder, to learn more, to get better. But this. Well. This wasn’t a lesson, this was an attempt at humiliation. And though he knew the spell was allowed in Dueling, the idea that anyone would actually use such a disgusting, horrifying spell… On him no less… He couldn’t stand it.

He forced himself upright, doing his best to ignore the roiling discomfort of his stomach, to contain the inevitable heaving that was starting to rise again, just long enough to point his wand squarely at Henry and clearly call out his next attack. “Incendio!” The spell flew true but Kazuo couldn’t wait to see if it connected. Once again he doubled over to heave up another round of slimy nasty disgusting slugs.

There was something very satisfying about seeing his burst of flames engulf Henry, especially as another wave of nausea rolled over him and he heaved up another slug. Bloody hell, how long was this spell going to last? He watched as Henry extinguished himself, considering what to do next. Honestly, part of him wanted to yield, simply because the nausea was starting to feel overwhelming, not to mention the sensation of the slimy wriggly creatures as he vomited them up. Yet, part of him was determined to see this through, refusing to bow out from one spell - even if it was the most disgusting spell in existence.

He considered his options and finally settled on a second attempt at Bogies, hoping to share at least some of the discomfort he was going through with Henry. Unfortunately, as he lifted his wand to cast, Henry’s incendio landed true, setting him on fire. He grimaced but focused on his return spell. “Mucus ad Nauseam.” He barely managed to eke out the words even as another wave of nausea rolled over him. His next thought was, of course, that he needed to put out the flames. He quickly pointed the wand at himself but when he opened his mouth to utter the incantation, his gut heaved out another slug. “おぞましい (Ozomashī - horrible/disgusting).” He muttered in Japanese before trying again. “Extinguo.”
