Etta's very first duel. She could feel the anxiety slowly creep it even if she didn't show it. She mentally pushed away the nervousness as she stepped into the dueling arena, gripping her wand tightly. Yeah, she could do this. What was the worst that could happen? Even if she lost, the girl was simply going to learn from her mistakes and do better the next time.
The Hufflepuff smiled at her mate and opponent, kind of glad that she got to duel with Olivia. She took a few deep breaths, mentally going through the spells that she wanted to use. Maybe start off with something simple but effective, yes?
Etta stood in a ready position and flourishing her wand, she cast the babbling curse first. That would be an interesting way to begin. Thinking fast, Etta quickly cast a protego on herself. Her shield in place, she watched Olivia carefully, mentally AND physically alert.
Oh, yeah. Bring it on, friend.

Alright. First duel. Here goes nothing! And she was up against Etta Kramer of all people. Funny how life worked. Had the Professor known that they were friends and decided to test them against each other? " Good luck!" cried Olivia to Etta before she prepared herself. Deep breath, wand at the ready. What was Etta going to do first? Cast a protective charm perhaps then attack? Or maybe that was too predictable? Olivia would have finite at the ready to cast.
And then before she knew it they were starting. Olivia quickly cast, " Finite!" to counter Etta's babbling curse. Normally Olivia would have been tempted to go to an offensive but she decided to switch it up for once and play more defensively. Then to prevent any further damage, she cast a quick protego on herself. Alright. Your move Etta.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Natasha Shenoy Slytherin Fourth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Andrea Bowen Gryffindor Fifth Year | Health - 250 | Magic - 193 | Fatigue - 25 SUMMER FOREVER The nervousness was slowly seeping away.. In fact, Etta was beginning to feel so very excited! This was fun.
She thought for a moment, wondering what spell she wanted to use now. She realised that she needed to get Olivia out of her comfort zone... the girl narrowed her eyes a bit, took a couple of steps back and raised her wand. Oh, yes. She knew what she wanted to do.
Etta quickly cast a jelly-fingers curse. Again, simple but effective at the same time. And without a pause, sent the freezing spell ( Glacius ). Sorry, Ols. Etta felt bad for a few seconds... eh, she couldn't help it. Yes, this was just a duel and it wasn't going to affect their friendship but STILL. She didn't want Olivia to end up hating her later. Would she?
UGHHH. Concentrate, Etta. The girl stood in position once again, trying to be as alert as possible. Okay, well. She was ready.

A jelly fingers curse? Not on her watch. Olivia cast another finite spell to stop that curse. She took a moment, perhaps too long to think of what to do next when she realized that her right ankle felt very, very cold. She glanced down and nearly fell over at the sight of it. WHAT? Her shoe was frozen to the ground. What the? She was impressed. Nice spell! She smiled. " Ha!" Cool.
She eyed her foot, then eyed Etta, and (being the ever competitive person that she was) prepped a few spells in her mind. With a flick of her wand, she cast her next spell, " Ebublio!" This had been one she had wanted to use in a duel since the first time she read it in a textbook.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Natasha Shenoy Slytherin Fourth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Andrea Bowen Gryffindor Fifth Year | Health - 250 | Magic - 168 | Fatigue - 20 SUMMER FOREVER Ahhhh. Etta grinned when she noticed the expression of surprise on Olivia's face, and it was a good surprise too. The girl couldn't help feeling a little proud but unfortunately... she really should learn not to waste a single minute when she was in the middle of a duel. What was she THINKING? Stupid, Etta. And now a spell was flying towards her! And the girl didn't have the time to put up a shield. EEEEP! "Whaaa--"
Thanks to her pretty decent reflexes, Etta quickly ducked and fell to the ground, almost instantly getting back on her feet. Woah, that was close. That was really, really close. If that had hit her, she would have definitely lost the duel. She took a deep breath and the next second, she cast a simple Immobulus.

Olivia watched as Etta barely ducked out of the way. Darn. She pursed her lips, readying a defensive spell just in case Etta should cast another offensive spell. When she heard Etta cast her next spell, Olivia's eyes widened. Merlin's Beard. Quick. Defensive spell. Uhhh.. No time to lose. She went with her standard counter spell. She didn't have much time to speak but instead performed the spell non-verbally. Finite! she said in her mind, quickly trying to counter Etta's incoming spell. Did that work? She didn't have time to check as she went about readying her next spell. Alright. A smirk quickly appearedo n her face as she cast a rather optimistic spell, " Gaudeo!"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Natasha Shenoy Slytherin Fourth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Andrea Bowen Gryffindor Fifth Year | H - 250 | m - 128 - 17% | f - 20 SUMMER FOREVER Etta was about to put up a shield just as the cheering charm hit her. Too late.. and she started to relax. The Hufflepuff didn't understand why she felt so stressed out, it was just a duel after all! She should be happy. The girl started to smile...maybe she could just lie down...... OH GOSH ETTA! She quickly cast a finite on herself. Phew, that SPELL.
Okay, seriously. She was starting to feel a tad bit tired and wanted this duel to end already... "That was a good one!" She said with a grin, getting ready to throw another spell.
She casted an expelliarmus, aiming for Olivia's wand first. Hoping that worked, Etta proceeded to cast the leg locker curse. Pleeeeease, let it be over already. She felt so exhausted.. but still tried to be as alert as possible, though. 'Cause she didn't like giving up.

| urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse It was interesting to see how different the two girls were in terms of their duelling style. Both were taking part in their first duel in the club and, as a result, they could learn off of each other and pick up their own tactics. One that included a lot of Finite being used. Was that a favourite of Miss Holden's? Hm?
Not the time, Hirsch.
As the duel progressed, the man was becoming more and more intrigued with the spells used. There was an interesting mix of both fairly complicated and pretty simple spells used which, considering their ages, wasn't surprising. But a non-verbal? From a fourth year? Was he seeing this correctly?
Before he could register this too much, the duel was coming to a close. The man cleared his throat slightly before striking up the shield between the two duellers. "Well done!" he called, heading up towards the two girls, "Really. That was an exceptional effort from both of you, especially considering the fact that this is your first duel." He half-expected some freaking out, at least. "After some consideration, I have to say congratulations to you, Miss Kramer, for winning this duel. And a very well done, Miss Holden." Stats: Henrietta Kramer: 72.17% Olivia Holden: 70.67%
