Rather than flinch, the dummy grabbed firmly to the Prefect's leg, hoisted her up and tossed her down into the ...Merlin knew what that substance was.
A searing pain traveled up her leg as her foot slammed into the dummy's lower half. "OUCH!!!" She reached down instinctively to grab it, but she didn't have time, as the dummy was lifting her into the air. Avalon flailed, completely upside down, trying to get out of its grip. But it was too strong for her. Upon its toss, the Ravenclaw tumbled head first into the muck.

Groaning in disgust, she managed to push herself back up to a standing position. She wrung out her hair, which was now dripping with the substance, and wiped her eyes. Yeah, she was going to have to take approximately five showers in a row after this.

Avalon wanted to take a deep breath to regroup, but the air smelled so putrid that she couldn't bring herself. A punch only seemed like a definite way to break her hand. These dummies were strong. So she bent her right arm and lunged toward the dummy, sending an elbow jab to its neck.
