After her first duel Hadleigh Lynch had been a little bit weary about checking the roaster to see whom she would be up against this time around. It had actually taken her around two days before she was able to walk over and take a quick look, instant relief washed over the girl upon seeing the name. Henric Nicolei. A seventh year. One she knew though. Now she wasn't on best friends terms with him no but she did know him rather well over the years and maybe she didn't know his full dueling style but she did know one very important thing. Henric would not purposely aim to harm her in anyway like her previous partner had done. This was sure to be a good duel but a very fair one.

Fixing the ponytail in her hair, she smoothed some stray hairs down with her left hand, wand being held firmly in her right. "Hello Henric," Hady greeted with a light grin rather then her blank look she usually had. Giving a proper bow towards him she then took several steps backwards never taking her eyes off the older boys face. She would be paying complete attention this time around as always but her guard was most certainly higher then ever.

"Obscuro!," she called out casting her first charm in Henric's direction quickly following it up with a much more softly spoken, "Rictusempra." Simple spells really but this was her way of getting to see how he would follow up. His reaction to these would help her determine what came next.
