Rhys was holding his own against the pair. Everly frowned as she watched her spell veer off, completely off from its intended target. Pierre’s, though it didn’t seem like a direct hit, had at least landed. She gnawed on her lip. Now wasn’t the time for her to start missing her shots.

ROUND TEN

Though Dylan was one evasive fellow, it seemed luck just simply wasn't on his side this time around. Even with the way he bobbed and weaved to make himself much much harder to hit, he happened to just move in front of the attacks, instead.

Both Pierre's and Evelyn's Incendios hit him in varying places, with the latter expertly landing squarely on the foreign boy's chest. Deliberate and precise.

Already, the scorch mark on his shirt would start smoking and soon enough would catch fire.

Trouble was brewing for the sole foreign representative battling against the two Gryffindors.

"Watch his movements... he's expressing a pattern." Piérre murmured to Everly as he traced a sigil in the air with the tip of his wand. "Turning up the heat! Oh yeah! Incendio!" Piérre traced the flaming pattern with a mild hesitation. He would have likely gone for a stronger spell, had it not been for the fact that he was facing off against a person this time around... and not a hag slug

Yet, he had hit his mark alongside Everly, and there had been a good deal of damage done. Just push for a little bit longer, and the game would be theirs!

Left to fend for himself, it seemed Rhys had decided to instead focus his efforts on evading Pierre and her’s attacks, two identical flames landing their marks. The boy’s sleeves immediately caught fire. It seemed Pierre had noticed the change in action, too.

They were close; Gryffindor just had to hang on for a little longer.

ROUND ELEVEN

This time, Dylan's meticulous footwork seemed to be paying off. With a bob here and a weave there, the boy was able to easily sidestep both Pierre's and Everly's flaming projectiles.

His evasive tactics brought him right to his floating wand just millimeters from his grasp. This would make him finally be able to retaliate with his own spells if he so chose.

However, though this did inure to his benefit, Dylan's sidestepping brought him right smack into a lightning bolt. He would be able to feel the electricity coursing through his body briefly, barely registering the searing pain he'd feel from his previous burn.

The moderator grimaced, feeling sorry for the boy.

It's just one misfortune after the other, it looked like.

Disco Inferno!
@Everly Charlton

House Colours: Hufflepuff

This time around, the other boy had a much better time confusing and weaving to throw off the aims of both Piérre and Everly. Hand wavering in the air for a moment, Piérre inhaled and tried to steady his aim with a small incantation. "Disco inferno! Incendio Duo!" He said confidently, tracing the hand motion and sending a fireball towards him.

However, Piérre's aim was desperately off, as a small flashback of the same spell being used by him a few months ago came over him caused him to hesitate at a critical point of his aim. The fireball would go haywire and not even come close to hitting the boy.

Shifting a bit as Piérre saw the kid pick up their wand again, and with a small huff, the Britalian drew himself back to a comfortable fighting position. This was almost it. This was the end.

"Just a little more, Everly. We have this in the bag! How's that carnation looking?" The boy smiled again, doing his best to brush aside bad memories and focus on the moment instead.

ROUND TWELVE

In one explosive burst of magical power, all three duelists left standing on the piste shouted out one spell in unison: "Flipendo!"

The spectators would simply just hear a loud whoosh as the three offensive spells left their wands and quickly approached their target. Worthy of a grand finale, all of the spells connected. Dylan's hitting Pierre's, and both Pierre's and Everly's making the foreign student stagger backwards under the brunt force of two Knockback Jinxes.

It seemed like a good time to end the duel.

There was no coming back from that.

"Alright! Wands down!" The moderator would announce from the side of the dueling stage. "At this point in time, it is pretty apparent whose team has the advantage."

Nodding at the two Gryffindors, he would address the arena as a whole. "Everyone, give it up for Gryffindor!"

Whatever reaction the audience had, it would quickly be drowned out by the moderator's additional statement. "Let us also give it up for the Dylan Rhys for lasting til the end of this duel. You all did marvelous!"

Ah. Yet another duel finished.

CONGRATULATIONS, GRYFFINDOR AND VISITING TEAM!
