Jelly fingers were annoying, okay? Like really actually very annoying to the extent that Abey was having such trouble keeping hold of his wand without feeling like he'd drop it again that there was maybe a couple of tears of frustration threatening to appear. Or maybe they were from sadness because he wanted to win but knew he'd be stuck with this for the rest of the duel because he hadn't learnt how to undo spells yet.

But... he did know what the spell was... so, maybe, what if, maybe he sort of somehow tried? But then how would he point his wand at his own hands when actually he needed BOTH hands to hold ont-

"AGHHHHHHHHH!"

Abey had waited a little too long to act, and had sort of forgotten to pay any attention to Carlton, believing he had a few moments to deal with his predicament. (And actually, he had been correct, but had totally lost track of time what with his FRUSTRATION and all actually.)

The fire crackers (PURPLE, by the way, Abey had time to notice that because he looooooooved purple) had taken him more by surprise than anything else, because suddenly they were RIGHT THERE FLYING AT HIM. Abey stumbled backwards and brought up his hands to protect his face and eyes even though he knew that there was no way he could get seriously hurt. The stumbling backwards brought him right to the ground, on account of tripping over his feet and falling backwards... and dropping his wand AGAIN in the process.

DISASTER.

Abey was disoriented more than anything else. Okay, his backside sort of hurt a little from the fall but of all the things to take the force of the impact, he was glad it was the most cushioned part of his body actually. Carlton had fallen on his face earlier, which was something Abey was keen to avoid.

........ Uh oh. Carlton. Abey could hear him sneezing, but that didn't necessarily mean he was incapacitated. He took a second to get his bearings, before looking up at the boy who was still standing, just in time to see a wand pointed at him and to hear the incantation of a spell that Abey did not want to hit him oh no oh no oh no.

Naturally, Abey did the only thing he made sense.

"AAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He screamed. Again. BUT THEN he also did something more useful and ROLLED TO THE SIDE OUT OF THE WAY. Still screaming. By the way.

But then he stopped screaming, because he had found himself having rolled towards where his wand had fallen. Abey felt the relief flood him as he scrambled/army-crawled towards it and picked it up as quickly as he possibly could (given the whole wobbly finger scenario).

Still lying on the floor, on his belly, Abey held up his wand (STILL in both hands and boy oh boy did he suuuuuuuure hate having jellified fingers) and sent green sparks back at Carlton, because it was the first non-complicated spell he could think of and ALSO he wanted to make green to counteract the purple. Complimenting colours were important, EVEN in a duel, okay?

But Abey didn't stop there, because the sparks had only really been to serve as a distraction again. Once he had done that, he summoned all the magical willpower that he possibly could, and followed up the sparks immediately with a set of bluebell flames, right in the direction of his opponent.

Also, being on the floor was not very helpful when it came to duelling actually, so as soon as he had cast his spells, Abey pushed himself back to his feet, panting heavily because of all that excitement and moving around AND magicking. Abey was more a 'short bursts of energy' kind of person after all actually, and now he was tired. And thirsty, actually. BUT DUELLING. But thirsty.

SPOILER!!: Points
