Arya! That was it. The girl with the kneazle kitten. Wasn't she one of Sabel's friends? Oh well, Sabel didn't appear to be here at the moment, so he avoided the students already dueling and made his way over to her.
"Hey, Arya." He smiled, "I can't say I'll give you much of a challenge, but would you like to be my partner for this?"
Arya was about to give up looking for a partner when she heard her name. Turning she saw the boy Allison said burned down his previous school. Not the first person she would choose, but he was the only fourth year around. Plus from the few times they meet he seemed fine to Arya, nice actually.
Smiling up at the boy she was glad he alteast wasn't a skilled dueler like Cela. Of course being a Ravenclaw his definition of skilled was probably diffrent from hers.
"I'd love to be your partner!" She began to get nervious about the duel as she flicked her wand out of its holister. It had taken her a while but she had finally found the wrist holister her brother gave her, she figured this was the best class to be wearing it.
As she walked a few paces away from Kellen she nerviously twirled the wand between her fingers, turning to face him. As she turned she went through the spells she knew deciding which one to use first. She didn't know a many spells, but the ones she did know were good enough to duel with. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath, focusing all her attention on the duel. As she opened her eyes she pointed her wand at Kellen,
"Locomotor Mortis!" As the spell headed towards Kellen, she slid quickly to her right, to avoid his oncoming spell.
