And yet, Tobi's words managed to immediately shove him out of the comfort zone. He twitched, a rather noticeable twitch, and stared up (up, up, up) at the tall Gryffindor, chewing on his bottom lip again despite the rather painful lesson he'd learned about that in Diagon Alley.
"He... he wouldn't..." Raiden said softly, his hands tightening on Kayla's in worry. "They're professors, they'll know better than to... do that..."
But the doubt was heavy in his little voice. Professor Kazimeriz seemed like he could do it. Like he might. Even the idea of them hurting each other though... was troublesome to Raiden. Was this how people worked after they grew up? They got mad at each other and challenged each other to duels and tried to kill each other?
...maybe growing up wasn't something he wanted to aim for anymore.
Kayla felt Raiden's hands tighten around hers and she threw Tobi a reproachful look. "Nice one Avalon, let's scare all the little kids while we're here." She pulled Raiden tighter against her and leaned down a little to whisper into his ear. "It won't come to that Raiden. Professor Kazimeriz, maybe a little frightening but he wouldn't do anything that stupid on school grounds."
She looked back at the two Professor's as they all waited on tenterhooks for the first spell to be cast. No, she was sure Kazi wouldn't try and kill Professor Truebridge but she should see him trying to hurt him a lot. That was what dueling was about after all and looking at Truebridge, she was pretty sure that he was going to put up one hell of a fight!
