It had been two years since Noelle had dueled. Her schedule hadnt really allowed it, but that hadnt stopped Noelle from training and working with Hirsch and others to keep up. Dueling was important, especially if she wanted to be an auror.
Heading into the arena, Noelle made sure her hair was tied up securely. She smiled at Mason as she pulled her wand out. "

Hirsch and her had been working on nonverbals. They were hard.. but she'd started doing easier spells and working her way up. One that she'd been working on currently stuck in her head. She'd done it a few times in the practice room so she was confident she could do it. Aiming her wand at Mason, she nonverbally cast Tarantallegra. Just in case that didn't hit him, she quickly sent another spell. This time out loud. "
