Instantly her whole body became rigid and she fell over backwards, grateful that the dueling arena was carpeted or else her fall might have hurt. Waiting for Sarah to come over and perform the counter-curse, she had no choice but to concede defeat as she could neither move her wand nor speak any incantation.
Sarah watched as the spell hit Mariel before she could block it.Then slight shock came across her features as she saw her fall backwards.
Struggling to her feet,she shook her legs several times before running over to her friend.
"Mariel! You're not hurt are you? I'm sorry I thought you might be able to block it,your Protego was so good earlier." Getting her wand ready she pointed it once again at her friend and said the spell to release her
"Finite Incantatum."
Sarah put her hand out to offer Mariel help in getting up.
"Forgive me..." she muttered to her,looking down.
