DEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFF!

Even with all of EVERYTHING that was going on, even with Abey's own personal issues with classes and then the whole big school PANIC thingy, even with all of that, Abey was still SO excited to duel. In fact actually it all made him even more motivated, rather than put him off, because 1. duelling was NOT a theory lesson or even a lesson at all, so he wasn't nervous about it in the slightest, and 2. it seemed actually like IMPROVING his duelling skills was exactly what he needed to do really actually. Just in case.

And best of all? He got to duel DERF! His VILLAIN! Dreams did come true.

When it was time to duel, Abey bounded forwards into the duelling area, giving Derf the biggest grin of his life. Then, just like last time, he did a BIG DRAMATIC BOW literally actually just because he liked the idea of bowing before a duel - apparently it was something to do with 'shivery' which was actually also a Gryffindor trait (but did NOT mean he belonged there, just by the way). THEN, without skipping a beat, he raised his wand and cast the quickest Bluebell Flames spell in his LIFE.

Except that there was a veeeeeeery slight chance, though, that because he had been trying to launch himself into action so quickly (because Abey), that his flames - while, yes, did appear - weren't as RAH and WOO as he would have liked. Probably because it was conjuration and Abey KNEW that conjuring things was supposed to be difficult anyway, and also EXTRA difficult in duels. But it was still just a little bit disappointing for his first spell in this duel to be so weak.

SO - and here he was drawing on experience with his last duel and how much of a pain in the neck it had been to be under the effects of THIS spell - Abey used up a few valuable seconds to put all his focus into a Jelly-Fingers Curse, and sent it hopefully in Derf's exact literal actual direction.

And then he bounced on the spot in his excitement, apparently forgetting how tired duelling made him last time and that he should probably conserve his energy.

Shhhhh.

SPOILER!!: Points
