Exceptional Situations need Exceptional Reactions... Right?

... Right. For that exact reason Opeila was sitting next to a hospital bed with an unconscious boy in it, around fifteen minutes after the pair had just won their duel. They had won their final duel of the year. First she had been exhausted, even felt a little bit guilty when she looked at the blonde Ravenclaw who had been lying on the ground just like that, knocked out by a Knockback Jinx from Opeila's wand, but then the excitement and pride had overweighed it more and more.
They won. Opeila had taken on Callie, who she knew had never lost a duel before on her own and made it! The longer the little Slytherin thought about it, the less she could believe it. It simply felt so... surreal! This was the first time Opeila did not wake up in one of those beds herself after a duel- really, she had been hit, no not even that really, she had been clipped with one spell, Opeila was feeling great! Actually she found it hard to keep her excitement quiet, but she didn't want nurse Brumby to kick her right out again.
So breathing in and out, trying to think of something else until Adonis was done sleeping- recovered. Right, recovered, that was what she meant of course. Actually, the duel had given her quite something to think about, at least the last moments of it. It had been like the noise of the spectators faded into the background, a bit like being under water and suddenly Opeila had known where to move. Where to aim. What to cast. The Slytherin would have bet a galleon that this had actually something to do with her seer heritage.
