Evelyn watched the girl move the snakes in front of herself more as a shield than anything. Hadn't the snakes suffered enough?! And the poor smallest snake of them all, pathetic looking and just horrid. This Shorty did that to him! How dare she!?

But Evelyn suddenly forgot about any revenge or anger when she saw what happened next. Fire. And it was the largest snake on fire. Two of her most favorite things in the world, together. It was a pity that the snake wasn't a dragon though. In fact, she was too busy staring at the flames on the withering snake to realize that it was coming straight towards her! She was a split second too late when raising her wand to slow the three snakes down when it hit her. And hit her hard...sending her to the ground. Why in the world did she make that one snake this big? It weighed a ton!!

Gasping, she sat up, trying to get the entanglement of snake off of her, especially since that biggest one was engulfed in flames. She could feel the heat of it burn through her clothes and onto her skin and arm as suddenly there was a piercing pain on her right shoulder extremely close to her neck. What was that?! Evelyn squeezed her eyes shut as she finally flung the thing away from her, opening her eyes and watching the three snakes struggle with each other.

Again, there was no time to really pay attention to anything. As a little gift from her own fiery snake, it left her sleeve on and part of the front of her robes on fire. "Aguamenti!" she said, casting the spell on herself, thankful that her wand arm wasn't burned. She had enough to deal with from the shooting pain in her shoulder. Reaching her hand up as she stood up, she gently touched her neck, feeling something wet. Was it the water she just conjured? Please, someone tell her it was just water...

Not wanting to look though, she closed her eyes for a moment, taking everything in. The shorty just conjured flowers for probably some idiot reason, her neck/shoulder and feet were in searing pain making her slightly blurry eyed, along with her left arm...OH dear MERLIN! Opening her eyes, she moved up her sleeve and took something out, examining it quickly to see if it had got burned in the attack. No. No it was good.

Smirking, she suddenly heard the Ravenclaw cast some fire spell, looking up only to see all the torches had been pushed over, making a ring of fire around the arena. Well, she was forgetting something quite important now wasn't she! DUH! She needed a partner to actually duel with unless she wanted to knock herself out. Evelyn wouldn't mind if she did that, but still, she was on the OUTSIDE of the ring...

Rolling her eyes, she watched as a medium sized wall of fire lit around the arena quickly, and she made a hasty decision to take off her jacket revealing the burns on her left arm and a bit on her cheek as well. The jacket was ruined anyways. That Ravie was going to need to buy her a new jacket! Taking a leaping jump, she landed in the arena, only to find herself stepping on dead flowers and to have spells being cast at her.

Jeez! Could she ever get a break?!

"PROTEGO!" she yelled out, holding up not one wand, but TWO wands, (one lighter than the other), and creating two shields in the process. The two spells bounced off of her shields quite easily, making her smirk.

Aww the Shorty was hiding again. That was sweet. But Evelyn had no intention of playing Hide and Seek with the girl. Not now. Not ever.

"Finite Incantatem! Geminio!" she yelled at the birds, watching them start to actually move again. With two wands now though, even though she was only used to using one, instead of the birds multiplying once, they multiplied twice. "Oppugno!"

Scooting her feet along the dirt ground, wincing as the dirt and dead leaves of the flowers scooted their way into the cuts on her the bottom and top of her feet, she moved around until she was more towards her own side of the arena.

Stopping, she took a deep breathe and took a step forward, sending another "Confringo!" towards the Ravenclaw, along with... "Sectumsempra!"

Pausing for a moment, she closed her eyes, squeezing them shut as she had to lower her arm. Her shoulder was killing her, and it felt as if the pain was spreading. Gah! She didn't need anymore problems!

Opening her eyes again, if one looked closely enough and were really paying attention, they would have noticed that they were not the usual bright hazel that one would normally see her eyes as, but they were black.
