Okay.

Look.

Listen.

Look.

It wasn't that Abey was laughing at Derf's trousers being set on fire necessarily, it was more that he was laughing at Derf's reaction. And it wasn't really a LAUGH either, but more of a good-natured giggle. AND it was more because of the excited and nervous ENERGY that he was feeling, and not meanness. After all, Derf was his friend, see? AND by the time said friend was ready to continue, Abey had moved onto to just grinning at him. WITH him.

Duelling was FUN, wasn't it?

Except... oh. Um. Uh-oh. It wouldn't be fun if he was upchucking slugs everywhere, would it? No no nooooooooo, Abey was SURE to duck out of the way of THAT spell (ew) (slugs in his mouth) (no), but then sprang back up again with a BOUNCE.

..... Only to then end up getting hit with the second spell. Whoops.

It went without saying that Abey's legs started to dance and twitch uncontrollably. Went without saying because it was QUITE OBVIOUS ACTUALLY to anyone watching.

"VILLAAAAAIIIIIIIIN!"

That wasn't a spell. No, that was a message especially for Derf (he'd know what it meant), because for a moment it was all Abey COULD do. He certainly couldn't focus on a spell while he was getting used to his FLAILING LEGS, but yelling at Derf was fun and familiar, so he went with that.

Oh, Merlin. And the worst part? Abey still hadn't mastered undoing this sort of spell (HE had focused more on the OFFENSIVE SPELLS, which... well, which was starting to prove slightly foolish), and didn't want to waste his time attempting a spell that likely wouldn't even work, so he'd probably be stuck doing this weird (and tiring) JIG until the end of the duel. THIS was valuable time he could spend getting back at Derf, after all. And Abey just HAPPENED to be feeling extra devious now. Hehehehe.

Raising his wand, and sort of struggling for half a second (NO TIME TO WASTE) to make sure his aim was right, what with being jolted every which way, Abey cast a quick and easy Trip Jinx in Derf's direction, and then quickly followed it up with a- "Periculum!" Have some RED SPARKS, TOO. Ahem. "Sorry, Derf!"

Sorry because the main idea was for the sparks to make Derf stumble back into the trip jinx and then DOUBLE FALL, which was kiiiiiind of mean but also perfectly within the rules of a duel. Also, a long shot; Abey was perfectly fine with ANY spell working at this point, given his - ahhh... - predicament.

Now, with Derf (THE VILLAIN) hopefully preoccupied for a moment, Abey tried to make at least a little bit of sense out of what on earth his legs were trying to do. He even actually tried to force them to stop dancing, but they weren't kidding when they defined that spell. His feet really WERE out of control. Merlin.

SPOILER!!: Points
