"SHE'S WHAT?" Kayla screeched and then quickly looked around to make sure no-one else was around. "Oh over my dead body she's going to do that." Bloody hell, Celandine Toussaint was going to put her into an early grave, for the love of Merlin...volunteers! "I can understand why this is upsetting to you, Plymouth being your brother and all. Although I still find him a little icky nobody deserves to be treated that way."

Oh when she got her hands on that girl...ugh she couldn't even do anything to her otherwise Nico, would throw a fit. Oh Maddox, was going to have to be told of this straight away. "Who are her volunteers? Has she said?" Kayla looked at Cope and gave him a sympathetic look, "Don't worry there is no way I am going to let this happen."

I'm for bed! Thanks, and I'll respond tomorrow.
 

"Well I don't know. I mean this is a first for Cela, boys I mean and well she likes to make sure she has researched everything so that whatever conclusion she comes to is the right one." Oh but this wasn't some experiment like climbing a tree or judging a moving staircase, these were people's feelings she was about to mess with. Kayla gave Cope, a skeptical look before speaking. "I won't say anything to her but I will be keeping a closer eye on her from now on."

Miranda wandered nervously into the Dueling Arena, sticking close to the wall. She slid onto a bench, and pulled out some parchment and her quill. As long as she had to do this whole dueling thing, she might as well watch for a bit and learn all she could. Watching the duels taking place, she took notes, looking around nervously every few minutes. Eventually, she was going to have to put the parchment down and find someone to duel with.

Smirking Vanessa followed Miles into the duelling arena, quite looking forward to having a duel with him, although she didn't quite like the idea that she might actually hurt him. She didn't want to hurt him!
"Ready then Parker," She grinned at him, as she pulled out her wand, and looed up at him.

Thankfully, Vannie didn't seem that bothered about it, which made him feel better about it too. Gosh, if he was going to be this worried, he shouldn't have asked her! Oh well. "Oh yeah." He winked, and walked to the other side of the room, and faced her. "I'll sheild first!" He called to her.

"Good Luck," Vanessa smirked at him, as she watched him, walk to the other end of the room and then face her. This was it then. Now she didn't want to hurt him, but she didn't want to lose either. So she was going to try to get both. That would be easy right? But Miles was pretty clever.

"Okaayy," She called back to him, a quick smile on her face, before she became all serious. "Locomotor mortis" She pointed at her wand at miles, as she spoke the words clearly, would Miles' sheild be able to stop the attack?

EEP! She'd already started! He stood in a defensive manner and whipped his wand out. And just before the spell hit him, he yelled "Protego!" And it bounced off of him.

And then he stopped shaking. "Thank god." Miles sighed. He went back to his normal stance and grinned. "Nice one Vannie, d'you want me to whip one at you now?"

Vanessa smirked, and chuckled to herself as she watched Miles, at least his Protego seemed to defend him, which was good. This was quite fun, and it meant that they would be getting better woot. "Thanks," She mumbled, she hadn't though it was that good.

"Suree!" She grinned at him, before preparing herself to produce the shield, it would be embarrasing if it failed now.

He smiled slightly and got ready to cast, although he was really nervous not to actually hurt her. PLEAAASE! Don't hurt her! "Locomotor mortis!" He yelled from across the room. He crossed his fingers behind his back that it wouldn't hurt her. But he didn't really need luck, she was a clever girl.

"Protego!" Vanessa spoke, almost directly after Miles had spoken, attempting to produce a strong enough shield that would block Miles' Curse. Although it wasn't that strong, for her thoughts were elsewhere. She felt her legs attempted to lock together, but the shield was strong enough to at least block most of the curse.

"Owned," She smirked to herself, before grinning at Miles. "Good one," She nodded, before quickly moving her wand, so that it was pointing at Miles, and she cast a babbaling charm. Sneaky alright.

Miles gasped as he quickly held his wand up and yelled "Protego!" and it bounced off of him again. He could tell this mini battle of thier's was getting faster. Hoho. So Miles decided to yell an immense "Confundo!" at her. This one wouldn't physically hurt her, and it's the only reason Miles used it. He wondered if it would be better if he chose someone he hated. Bwaha.

Vanessa was a little to into basking in the glory of how fast she was attempting to "attack" Miles that she almost forgot that he was going to send a curse at her. "Protego!" She spoke, almost at the last minute, as she aimed the shield at where Miles' attack was coming from.

Her shield wasn't that good, as she started to feel a little confused. "ermm.....?" She shrugged, confused at what spell to us. "I umm Oooooh!" She smirked, glancing at Miles. "Petrificus totalus"

Miles closed his eyes tightly, a little annoyed at himself as Vannie's eyes wondered around the room in confused. He was such an idiot, he knew not to use that one on her again. Whilst thinking about it, he only just missed the hex. "Protego!" He said quickly, and he went a little high-pitched, as the hex only hit part of his leg.

And so it gave way.

"Aww man!" He yelled as he hit the hard floor. Miles moaned, and decided to stay on the ground for a few more minutes.

Vanesssa stood, eyes wide, as Miles fell to the floor. Eeep! He must have been watching her looking confused, meaning that he too did his shield at little late. "Millees!" Vannie jogged to where he was lying on the floor, feeling a little bad.

"Are you okay?" She asked, staring down at him. Surely he would be okay? She'd only thrown the body binding curse at him.

Miles touched his leg, but couldn't really feel anything, as it was a little numb. "Well, that was fun." He laughed at his leg, as it started to bring back it's feeling. Miles wavered Vannie away and smiled up at her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Nice one though." He winked, and used her to help himself up.

"I think you might have won that." He smirked.

Barry only just managed to shout "Protego" and a sheild formed and the spell bounced off and Barry sent a hair thickning charm to Chalice`s eyebrow hoping to make her blind.

"Protego!" She screamed. This time she was just in time to have the spell bounce off. "Aquamenti!"

Barry simplt used Protego again and watched the water flood the floor , and sent the jelly brain jinx after the girl.

"Protego!" she yelled. Too late, she fell to the ground, unable to think or do anything what so ever.

Anna stepped into the duelling arena and rolled the sleeves of her robes up just a bit. She and Cale had come to the arena to complete a duel they had to do for their Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, and Anna couldn't wait to get started. She'd only duelled once before, and she'd lost to Agie Brandywine. Hopefully her second time would be a charm, and if not, then she seriously needed a duelling tutor. "So, you ready to fight your own girlfriend?" Anna teasingly asked Cale, turning around to see if he was ready to begin. "You know, I feel sort of weird duelling against you. I've grown used to always being on your side. Ahhh, well, though. Homework is home, I guess..."

Barry immediatly lowered his wand and walked over to the girl "Duel over" he muttered and he muttered the counter curse "Would you like to go to the nurse?" he asked.

"Um... no. I think I'm okay, just a little dizzy. You win, nicely done Barry. I'll put it in the log." she said as she got up VERY shakily.

Banana <33
 

Cale smirked as he too rolled up his sleeves and pulled out his wand. He was half tempted to see what would happen if he battled her full force--after all it WAS Anna, not just any other girl, and he knew she wouldn't take it too seriously if he gave it his best shot to beat her in the duel. "I was BORN ready," he told her with a grin as he walked to the opposite end of the arena to get himself prepared. "I'll let you go first...you'll need every advantage you can get!" he joked before getting in the ready position.
