"NO!" Varius screamed as she ran for the exit. Nobody else should be faced with such a horrendous thing! After he had calmed down, he got some sense into him. Running over, keeping his distance, mind, as he wanted to be nowhere near that AWFULLL thing. "Aquamenti," to deal with the fire, "Diffindo," to deal with that horrid bow! Hopefully it worked... Merlin only knew when it was Varius casting these relatively simple spells.

Panting, Daphne tripped over her own robes and would have hit the ground with her nose if the bow hadn't become so unbelievably floppy that it served as cushion for her face as well.

In her stumble, Varius' Aguamenti spell hit her on the shoes, wetting her socks. "Ugh! Vaaariuuus! Stop it!" Crawling away, the other spell hit the wall above her and Daphne rolled out of the Dueling Arena, bow and all.

Maddox pursed his lips as she finally agreed and walked gracefully back to her spot. He couldnt help but watch as she did so. It was mesmirizing. Which was not a good thing since she was sending hex's his way.


He quickly snapped out of it when the first one just missed his left ear. He was so caught off guard that the burst of flames burned his right arm, but he jumped high enough that the crazy dancing leg charm missed him. He had a nice burn on his lower arm now. He shrugged, a new scar to add to the others.

Maddox flicked his wrist and yelled, "Rictumsempra!" He then spun around down to the ground, sending a non-verbal duro at her feet to plant her in place with cement, followed by a non-verbal knee reversing hex. That would be painful if it hit her, but hey, she burnt his arm. Maddox smirked a bit and decided to send on last one. "Turpis speculum!" He whispered. This one conjured a mirror. It showed the person who was looking into it what they would look like if they were ugly. He had a feeling she wouldnt like that to much, but grinned wickedly anyways.


OOC: Turpis speculum literally means 'ugly mirror'

Camira smirked in satisfaction as one of her spells caught him in the arm. That had to have hurt, and she felt a bit bad, but this was a duel. She didn't have a choice.

She saw the wrist flick before she heard the words and ducked out of the way. Thank goodness. She was wicked ticklish. That would have been torture. Unfortunately, she didn't notice the duro coming and found her feet firmly planted onto the floor. And they were stone. Ack! And all of a sudden, her knees. Oh my God, they hurt. She let out a little whimper, but bit her lip to stop it from escalating to something else. She was not going to show weakness. Not a chance. And all of a sudden, a mirror. What the hell? She had no clue why Maddox felt the need to have her look into a mirror, but she was never adverse to looking at herself so she did. "AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK" The shrill scream echoed through the arena. What had he done to her?! She was....hideous. She felt like crying. This had better be reversible.

That was it. Time to get serious.First off, if he wanted to mess with his appearance, there was no reason she couldn't do the same. She aimed an engorgio at his stomach, and a densaugeo and furnunculus at his face. She hesitated slightly. She wasn't sure if she was allowed to use this here. Oh well. What he'd done to her formerly face was far worse than this. "tardus congelo." There. Either he'd be almost as ugly as her or he'd slowly freeze. Hopefully.




OOC: oh yay. I wasn't sure if you were into using made up spells. Now I can release all of the tamer ones I created. Anway, "tardus congelo" translates into "slow freeze" and is supposed to slowly induce hypothermia.

Tanjiro nodded, and sighed a bit. "Good luck, I suppose," he yawned and accidentally dropped his wand, "you're going to need it." Slouching down to pick up his wand, he paused. Swiveling his wand, he casted, "Stupefy!" towards Paris. He then stood straight, waiting for their next moves.

OoC: sorry about the late reply :/

Sitting out of the way, Celandine watched the duels in process and made notes in her book at each of the spells used, their intentions and their actual results. She alo added her own thoughts about which spells would have been more effective before looking up as she heard one of the spells she had heard her brothers use. Teehee! Cela made up her mind to show Camira the counter to that one so she could turn it back on Maddox next time he used it. And Cela hadn't heard the spell that Camira used, but the etymology suggested it was something to do with cold. Cela kept an eye on the big Hufflepuff to see what would happen; he had been used to cold temperatures at Durmstrang so it would be interesting to see what the spell was going to do. But for now; more notes. Cela decided she'd go look at the logbook too, see who won which duels and with what spells.

Ruby walked into the Dueling arena she hoped to meet someone that she could duel with to let off some steam she smiled as she walked in and looked around "nice" she said rather coldly

Amanda turned around and noticed a little first year Slytherin, she smirked and decided to walk over. "Are you looking for a duel? Because, I'm just here tutoring someone but I'll gladly duel anyone." She said with a devilish smirk on her blood red lips.

Ruby smirked back and replied "yes and looking to blow off steam" she looked at the older Slytherin and said "i'm Ruby Malfoy, for short, i know plenty of spells from the libary at home" she said with an evil grin

"Well it is a pleasure to see another Malfoy at Hogwarts. The name is Amanda Lesalle, and I am a 3rd year." Amanda said, introducing herself politely. "Well shall we duel?" She asked, drawing her wand from her robes and twirling it around in her fingers.

Ruby smiled and replied "pleased to meet you Amanda and yes another Malfoy seems Draco had a fair few wifes in his time" she smirked she watched Amanda twirl her wand and Ruby removed hers she bowed and said "polietness is still curtious"

"Ah of course." Amanda said, and bowed politely. Malfoy or not, this girl had something else coming to her. "Incarcerous!" She yelled and started the duel off with her favourite spell.

Ruby returned up right and Amanda hit her first spell Ruby yelled "Finite Incantatem" to that rectched spell that would have tied her up she quickly returned with yelling once more "Furnunculus" she smiled an evil smile

"Protego!" Amanda said and casted the shield charm just in time to deflect the spell and have it fire back at Ruby. She smirked, this girl was going to learn a lesson about duelling against a third year.

Ruby ducked out of the way and smirked Amanda wanted duel then fine "Obscuro" Ruby yelled she quickly stood and yelled again "Locomotor Mortis"

Amanda rolled her eyes, wow this was sad and slightly pathetic. "Finite Incantantem" She muttered. She wasn't done yet, she racked her mind for the spell that would teach this first year a major lesson. "Levicorpus!" She yelled and fired the spell directly at Ruby.

Ruby saw the spell was heading for her she yelled "Protego" and as Amanda had done cast herself a sheild she racked her brains and shouted "Rictusempra"

Amanda saw a silver jet come towards her but didn't have the time to duck or cast a shield charm. It felt like someone was tickling her, and she started laughing. After several minutes, she started to lose focus. "Finite...Finite Incantatem." She finally managed to say and the tickling stopped. She was going to find another spell which was going to give her the advantage, "Tarantallegra" she muttered and fired the spell, regaining focus.

Ruby was too busy being smug she had let her gaurd down and didn't see the spell coming towards her her legs started to move uncontrolablly she said with every other breath "Fin...Fini...Finite Incantantem" and it stopped she looked at Amanda and said quietly "Petrificus Totalus "

Amanda had her focus back perfectly and she was ready for anything, hmm so this girl was trying to end the duel early. But, she wasn't going to allow that to happen. "Protego" She muttered and casted the shield charm just in time, but she wasn't done yet. "Langlock" She said in barely a whisper, firing the spell directly at Ruby.

Ruby saw that Amanda had cast the sheild charm to be certain Amanda hadn't sent anything back she muttered "Finite Incantatem" she was going to have to watch her carefully she was starting to mutter her spells, just as Ruby was thinking that she saw a light coming towards her "Protego" Ruby whispered casting a sheild charm to whatever was coming her way she quickly thought and whispered "Avis" she then said in the same low tone "Confundo"

Amanda noticed the flock of birds and remembered what happened with this last term. She wasn't going to give Ruby the chance for those birds to attack her. "Finite Incantatem" She said, pretty much whispering. This duel was going to be over soon, once she went on the offensive. "Stupefy" She said in barely a whisper and smirked as the red streak fired from her wand.

Ruby saw the red streak come from Amanda's wand she muttered "Protego" and then whispered "Expelliarmus "

Amanda rolled her eyes as she saw the red streak come back at her, she ducked out of the way. Oh this girl was trying to disarm her, that was not cool. "Protego" She whispered, and the shield charm cast in front of her. "Aquamenti" She muttered and smirked, waiting to see if Ruby was going to try and fire it back at her.

She giggled at him. He was a 6th year and he wasn't using non-verbals. That was going to cost him. She "Protego!" She shouted and with a flourish of her wand she sent a non verbal stinging spell straight at his face. Her aunt Tommy taught her that one, with a few modifications added to it.
