 <.< >,> v.v ^,^!
Ivory smiled as the cloud of dust circled around them, but then quickly frowned as the Slytherin ran kicking up even more with her huuuge feet, shrouding them both.
After a few seconds of examining the whirl of dirt, through the dust, she saw a shadow move the length of the arena. What was Big foot doing? This wasn't a runway and for the record see was abnormally proportioned anyway.
Maybe a toe-nail growing hex would make things a little harder. Smirking evily, she raised her wand and was about to cast when she paused. A little ways ahead down the length that the Yeti had walked there seemed to be a tiny stream of water. Thinking it was better to work quickly, she aimed her wand at the tiny stream."Duro!"
Watching the mud harden and on her guard now, Ivory kept her shield tight to her body as she followed the Sasquatch's shadow this way and that. And then she didn't need to look because she was announcing her presence loudly with a hissed 'OW!'
Pinpointing the source of the sound, Ivory peered through the now settling dust and eyed her opponent who was in the midsts of conjuring snakes. Gifts her big toe. But she was so not going to get distracted with unwitty banter.
"Impedimenta!"
Aiming at the girl and not the snakes, her mind whirled. What to do? They were snakes! Holy Merlin's belly button lint and one was huge. Hearing the slytherin yell 'oppungo' made her take one tiny step back and then forward with her indecision.
And then she couldn't think anymore because there they were, rearing their heads, with their fangs dripping with venom, about to wind up her leg and-
Pretend they're birds. Pretend they're just birds.
"Stupefy!""Stupefy!"
Agh!The big one had wound up her back and then striked at her side, the fangs sinking in deep, where she suddenly felt a numb spot with pain."Stupefy!"
Wincing in discomfort, figuring the venom would kick in at a later time, she decided to use them to her advantage. Her stunning spell was her weakest and only lasted a few seconds so they were bound to start attacking again any second now. Thinking fast, she grabbed them by the tail as one of the small ones began coming to. Tying them together and using them as a bolus, she launched them through the air, hoping they'd wrap around Yeti's legs or at least give her bite or two.
Rolling her shoulders to shrug off her new pain, she turned her neck quickly to the side stretching it out a bit-which is right around when she saw something that made her smile in spite of her pain. Ants...fire ants and the Slytherin was bare foot.
"Oppungo!"
As ants began to swarm into the arena, even she herself felt a moment of fear. There must've been a ant hill nearby because what was nearing her opponent were intimidating little monsters climbing over each other in swarm upon swarm. Lets see if her feet were big enough that!
She hoped that was a good enough distraction for now and if not well there was still the trip jinx on the spot on the ground directly behind her.
Her one shot spells were doing nothing for her and she had to be quicker especially with the venom in her system.
"PROTEGO!"Sidestepping and favoring her side, she brought up her arm exaggeratedly as if she was casting a shield but then murmured two quick spells one right after the other on the well aimed upwards flick.
"Petrificus Totalus. Expelliarmus."
And then she took a few circling steps to be behind the birds once more, if anything they'd work as mini individual shields in case hers failed.
