Since her first duel with Hattie, Skylar had been feeling kind of down and it had nothing to do with the fact that she lost. But more she was struck with how lucky her best friend seemed to be able avoid EVERYSINGLESPELL. No matter the angle. Had she missed her friend attending extra lessons? Honestly, she had no idea but somehow it felt like Hogwarts was going all wrong. It was supposed to bring her closer to those she already was close with and yet, it felt the older she got, despite deep in her heart knowing she would always be best friends with Hattie, it felt like maybe they were simultaneously breaking up. Like who even was Harriet Paton? Skylar used to know, but now ... she couldn't be sure.

Just like she couldn't be sure where all the fourth years were, as it seemed like herself, Junia and Hattie were the only ones partaking and after that she would duel a third year. This time, it was Jessa Cambridge, an interesting Ravenclaw who seemed very ... inquisitive, but then again, most Ravenclaws were. She was going to have to have twist Felicity and Vivian's arms into signing up next year. Maybe Kirk too, except she'd only really ever talked to him on the train and hadn't really run into him much elsewhere.

Following Jessa's suit with a bow of her own, she kept a calculated but distracted gaze on her opponent, to which she jumped off to the side to avoid the explosions out of impulse and reflexes. What was wrong with her? Why did she feel so off-point this term when it came to dueling? It was only her second term dueling, but maybe last term she just had some beginner's luck. Or maybe it was the gnawing feeling of growing distanced from one's best friend.

As she'd done previously though, she did manage to remember to cast a featherlight charm on herself, because it felt helpful before. Ugh, she wished she was more focused right now, to better concentrate on some offensive spells. But yet, the most she could think of was, "Aqua Eructo" the jet of water at least carefully conjured toward the third year.
