The spell.. what spell? The shield? Vaguely recalling reading it before coming to the arena, she stepped back and watched him demonstrate anyway. 'Contego' and then the shielded object in question, right. Alice had obviously known that. Obviously.
"I'm just casting the Knockback Jinx for testing, right?" Without waited for an answer, she pointed her wand at the stationary dummy and its supposed shield. "Flipendo!" As she said the incantation, Alice moved her wand in the respective moment for the spell, the check mark like shape with a flourish at the end. Dylan's shield must have worked, because as she cast the jinx, it rebounded back off it and sent her flying.
Ouch. After sitting up from a rather painful collision with the ground, she rubbed her head and gave him a thumbs up. "Your shield worked." Clearly. "Just do that four more times, okay?" So she could get all of her crashes out of the way before she did her five shields. Then it was Alice's turn to blast him backwards.
Dylan's eyes went wide as Alice soared through the air...like a Biting!Star. Really, she could've just ducked out of the way or something...She didn't have to withstand the force of the spell. What a crazy,
brave thing to do. Forever a Gryffindor.
"You could just dodge them..."...if she wanted. Maybe she liked getting knocked off her feet. Dylan didn't know her life.
"Finite." "Alright. Get ready."...or something. The dummy couldn't very well get ready...as he wasn't alive. Meh. DUELING ARENA, GET READY.
There.
Dylan took several moments, re-centering himself and his focus. He was staring at the dueling dummy that had just popped back up like a daisy. These little buggers didn't say down for long. He'd heard they reassembled himself, too. Merlin, he itched to test that out...
Breeeeeeeeeeeathing. Preparing himself...GETTING IN THE ZONE...
Breath. "Contego Dummy" WHOOSH. The magic flew from his wand, seeking out its target at once. If it left a trail of light, the Slytherin didn't see it. But that didn't really mean anything...Maybe he was blind...
"How about try ducking this time, though...so I don't make an Alice-pancake or something."
There were so many people that would be after him...if he hurt Alice...
Selina....West.....Penelope......The important people, anyway...
