Sixth place wasn't so bad. It wasn't. It could have been worse...right....? There...were more than 6 other students who got grouped in the Jinx category so...so...technically even if he lost this duel, he had nothing to be ashamed of because he wouldn't be placing DEAD LAST no matter what.

It was a comforting thought; one the little boy would cling to for all it was worth because David Truebridge was a genius that actually knew how to cast spells.

Lightening didn't strike the same place twice and in that same breath it was unlikely he'd pull a second win in less than a month. There was just no way so he had to come to terms with this as early as possible. Lower expectations, avoid disappointment. It was the stance he'd taken with his wand. She could work when she wanted and when she didn't...he would just run. No big deal. Blaise might have wished Davie good luck but he didn't want him thinking he meant that he NEEDED luck if he wanted to win--because frankly that's where his mind would have gone and yeah......so the little boy simply bowed, turned and counted out the ten steps in his head.

Mentally he was preparing himself for the moment he would turn around. Davie had nothing to worry about. Months ago, he might have just lunged at him and taken whatever would come as a result but Davie was good people and the urge to deck him had never risen after that night in the RoR. Kid might have been worried about looking stupid but having others watching his others duels....he was long pass that point and was just trying NOT to go unconscious.

At the end of the ten, the boy turned sharply, uttering the first spell that came to mind--which just happened to be the cornflake skin spell. Don't even ask how he remembered it.
