She took her moment to bow low in a dramatic and exaggerated show of respect and also how silly she thought it was that they still had to bow before a pretend duel. She stood back up and let her nose and eyes crinkle up into a goofy smile, reflecting her mood. Now for the stepping part. "That's great to hear. Thanks, I really appreciate it. I wouldn't want you to totally wipe me out before I get a chance!" she said as she took her steps backward.
Once she was at her place for the duel, she shook her arms out to loosen up. "You ready?" she asked, taking a deep breath - anticipating when the girl would give her the go-ahead. She wasn't super confident about her mental list of spells, but she was fairly confident about her casting ability. Maybe she'd just stick to the few she did know and worry about learning other spells later.
Annnnd, then they were off! But she panicked and still couldn't think of a good spell at all, so the first thing to come to her mind was, "Aguamenti!!!" And a HUGE jet of water came rushing out of her wand and flew through the air like a fire hose of water towards Laura. Someone could help her with the drying spell for that later, right?
Laura smiled as was about to answer when she heard Eliza speaking it was right though they weren't at a get together if they were then they would have some sweets and drinks that is what they did at a get together, well she would love having one of them later just not now.
Laura bowed and was about to say yes when suddenly Eliza had shot water at her and it wasn't as if the jet of water was small it was massive. "Protego!" Laura was sure that would hold it out right?
O__________O
How wrong she was it worked at first but then it started to wear off. "Eliza, this yet of water is massive!" Laura exclaimed as it finally broke through her shield. "Can you stop it please, I'm getting wet through here and I don't really like it, the water is freezing." Laura pouted, and then the Professor was speaking, it wasn't fair she hadn't got ago.
