 Granddaddy Ravenclaw | | Jermione Granger
Perhaps it would be to Nicky's advantage that she was a transfer student. She had no idea what her opponent had been told of Hogwarts' student preparation, but whatever it was, it didn't apply to the Castelobruxo transfer.
Truthfully, she hadn't expected the stickfast to, well, stick, but she allowed herself a small amount of pleasure seeing the bats swarm. "Those shoes are tacky. I'd be doing you a favor," she called back. She let the comment about the wand pass, though she did take note of the similarity in their wood. But all those thoughts were short-lived as the bats reversed course and headed her way.
That was a nice move, she'd give her that. She threw a quick shield up, watching the bats pop against them as she continued to move in the area. And it was a good thing, too, as the orbis hit right behind her and she narrowly avoided it. In the split second she'd taken her eyes off her opponent, the woman had disappeared. A muttered obscenity passed Nicky's lips as her eyes scanned for any hint of movement... a footprint, anything.
She weighed her options. She could shield, anticipating an attack, and wait for Amrita to reveal herself. She could try to cancel the disillusionment and attack herself. As she considered, she continued to move around the arena, keeping her back to the edges best she could, lest the woman sneak up behind her.
"Aparacieum," she muttered, finally deciding that she needed to see the woman.
Once she figured out where she was.... she could do something else.
