If ONLY Anna were truly taking dueling seriously. Which was not to say that she wasn't and actively out to make a mockery of things because that would be mean and wildly unfair to both her dueling partner and Professor Khanna, but it also fell deliciously close to the land of make believe and imagination. Anna was hardly a fighter, unless you asked Daniel and then you might know that she did have a little spunk to her words when the situation was juuuuuuuuust right, and more than that was the fact that her spell casting was distracted at best. Perhaps, someday, her whimsy would turn out to be her greatest asset as a dueller since...well...few would expect such passive forms of offense in such a setting. Maybe. Who knew. It was unlikely she would ever know herself but she was very appreciative of the whole experience and opportunity!
The Hufflepuffle was not even sure what spell the Gryffindor had cast first, but it sure sounded like she had just made herself invincible which was REALLY impressive and left Anna puzzling over what sort of spell she could even hope to cast now to have any effect. The second charm she knew and had used herself while propelling paper airplanes and other paper creations about the common room - or just a stray leaf on the grounds to see just how long she could keep it up in the air before her aim went awry or she simply grew too tired to continue. Did Sable want to play that game with her little blobby pseudo water dragon?! Anna found herself tickled by the idea...but also uncertain that she could cast the spell with enough delicacy to keep it in tact and she was not about to be an enchanted water dragon murder...or slayer. Slayer was not on her imagination BINGO card. Alas, all the while the third year was bouncing around in her own thoughts...the water blob floated and tumbled in the air closer and closer to her. Her eyes crossed and refocused a bit too late, but that did not stop her from working on just the tiniest bit of reflexes. "ProTAGo!" she chirped, utterly butchery the incantation and erecting not a translucent shield but rather conjuring what resembled little jolts of neon blue lightning from her wand. Hardly effective in stopping the water blob dragon and but her face sure was good at it!
*splash*
Not soaked but no longer dry, Anna wiped her face with the long sleeves of her robes and laughed a little. This much be how flowers felt when they got their morning dew or were watered in the afternoon on a particularly warm day: refreshing. And thankfully thoughts of flowers had distracted her from the fact that she had indeed become a water blob dragon slayer on accident. Flowers though....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Wand at the ready, or as ready as could be as Anna Walles, the curly haired well intended mess of a human pointed her wand at a few spots in front of Sable's shoes...and also kind of AT Sable's shoes but it was mostly accidental. "Herbifors!" she chirped, hoping that at least one of the spots would produce nice tall flowers that might block her opponent's view since the whole attempt at a blindfold had not go over so well. Beginning with patches of grass dotted with wildflowers her enthusiasm was certainly motivating the spell this time as more and more flowers began popping up (like daisies!) on the stage and growing upwards towards Sable taller and taller until they were waist high and continued to grow.
Yes, she knew that usually people cast this spell at people's hair...but Anna thought it horrendous to mess with a lady's hair without permission so the stage (and maybe Sable's shoes too?) would just have to suffice for now.
