 <.< >,> v.v ^,^!
A flit of emotions passed over Ivory's face. Many of them didn't really matter like fear or respect, the only one that did was anger. Swishing and flicking her wand, she too levitated the snakes and then brought them in front of her as she watched the Yeti's feet get swarmed with ants.
Not able to resist a chuckle (thats what she got for being barefoot afterall) Ivory used that small moment to cinch her jacket tighter around her waist, hoping it would ward off the numbness of that area. As it was her heart rate was slowly increasing slightly and she felt as if a fit of adrenaline was running through her body. Almost as if everything going on around her was slow motion but she herself was moving incredibly fast.
Her eyes very wide and alert she watched the jet of white light from the stinging hex shot her way slowly. It was as if she had all the time in the world and she lifted her wand casually levitating the triad of snakes in front of her to intercept first it then the second spell.
One of the smaller snakes became unrecognizable as it became tight, swollen, and puffy as though it had suffered some violent allergic reaction, its already snakelike eyes narrowing more. The sight of it reminded her of muggle balloons that clowns would blow up for children and she had a childlike urge to bend and twist it into a bunny or something. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to do any such thing because in the next instant the larger snake erupted into large flames and it regained more of its mobility struggling against her levitation spell, a writhing long flame in the air.
Figuring the worst thing that could happen was that it would come floating back, she rushed it towards the Slytherin with as much force as she could muster just in time to see her slowly making her way around the arena and turning out the torches.
Oo ho ho. So she thought she could do better in the dark did she....
Moving her wand to encompass the entire area, she concentrated on thinking of dead flowers, brittle and dry and the type that if you stepped on would crunch uproariously.
"Orchideous!"
Dead flowers erupted from her wand coating the entire floor. If Big Foot took a step she'd be sure to hear.
Looking around however she decided to take an extra precaution.
Staring at the edges of the arena where the wooden poles were situated around the circumfernce she reached out her hand and strategically pushed the one nearest her which pushed down the next one and then the next one. One by one, by domino effect, they all fell, the tip of one landing on the end of another and a low fire was starting. Eeh...might as well speed up the process.
Squinting her eyes in concentration, she aimed her wand. Her mind intent on controlling the flame. "Incendio!"
A flame erupted on one wooden torch and quickly spread until a circle of flame surrounded them leaving them both visible to each other. Well aside from half the immobilized birds that covered a bit of the arena. Luckily, her side.
Now with a clear view at Big Foot and her ant bitten feet, Ivory glared without holding back as she casted her next spell. "Furnunculus!"
Tucking forward into a forward somersault she then rolled to her knees behind the birds once more and shot off another one. "Petrificus Totalus!"
She didn't know how long this adrenaline would last but she was going to milk it for all it was worth.
Bringing up her shield once more, she rolled her shoulders predatorialy and waited.
