Leaping to the right, she tried to bring up her shield only to have the spell zip right through it and feel her left leg all of a sudden feel weighed down with-'Oh no! It was immobilized!'
Luckily the momentum of her jump was enough that with the added weight she was still able to land on her feet without falling...although her left leg did come crashing down hard enough to jar her teeth.
Against all odds Ivory smiled, finding the hilarity in all of this. Even though she still felt a hint of nervousness and hesitancy, she still found this incredibly entertaining, and surprisingly looked forward to more matches like this.
Moving in quick random footwork (as best she could practically dragging one leg), she raised her wand and cast the first spell that came to her mind from her small arsenal. "Petrificus Totalus." Hoping just maybe she'd be casting while Arya's shield wasn't up yet or at the very least that her shield didn't extend as far as her left hand, which is where she was aiming.
"Protego." Bringing up her wand in a large upward swish with the tiniest flick just like she'd practiced, she brought up her shield and concentrated it with enough time to block the second spell sent her way. Letting it dissolve immediately, she tried to balance as well as she could to cast again and in that moment she thought of Cela and the those duels of her's that she'd witnessed. Smiling, the thought of the inspiring older girl made her concentrate on one of the five spells she'd worked on this term.
"Glisseo." Maybe just maybe the loss of shoes would make it hard to keep keep her footing. But then Ivory had other things to worry about because she had to work on mobilizing her own leg again.
"You owe me a new pair of shoes..." She said as the second had been blown off, a grin playing on her lips. Arya didn't mind the least bit that she was barefoot, she needed a new pair of sneakers anyway.
The young girl had juuust barely dodged the body binding spell as she stepped to the side. It wasn't an easy step, what with the pieces of stone and that hole in the plateform from Ivory's previous spell. Aiming her wand at the girl, she took a few steps while thinking of a spell to attack with.
She opened her mouth to send off a spell, when Ivory turned thier part of the plateform all slippery. Having no shoes on a slippery floor while atempting to take a few steps is not a wise choice. It was, however, the first thing she had done when the spell took effect. More instinct than anything.
Taking a step to the side, she immediately lossed her balance and fell to the ground butt first. Arya then atempted to regain her footing, but somehow ended up spinning towards Ivory, giggling. She didn't even atempt to send a spell towards the girl as she couldn't tell where she was or focus on any particular spell.
