Stepping into the arena, you are immediately enveloped with the light shining into the room, either morning or evening depending on what time you decide to enter, yet it's as chilly as a snow covered stone statue. An extra cloak or two would be helpful. If you can tear your gaze away from the intricately designed windows and high ceilings could, you can see to the very right of the room, there is the long platform in which supervised duels will take place while four benches on either side are placed at a safe distance for those who would like to sit and watch. Just ahead of the platform in the right corner, there is a door, though pay no attention to it. It's locked for a reason.

Towards the back wall, there are various types of practice dummies, both stationary and moving, depending on what difficulty the practicer wants. Don't be afraid to go all out with your spells, for these dummies are charmed to repair themselves. There is one practice dummy set aside that will shoot spells back to the practicer, however, permission from a Professor is required to use it. To the left side of the arena are two sets of stands, eight seats high, that look out to the entire arena, comfortable for those who would just like to watch what's going on all around or for general purposes such as studying or relaxing after a long day in the arena.

The middle of the room is quite empty, due to the fact that the defense Professor enjoys presenting lessons in here, but please, despite the brilliant light that shines through the arena due to the large windows, it is not some place to sunbathe or fall asleep. You will be levitated out with a good dose of cold water splashed on you if caught.

If her father didn't know she was prepared to jump off a roof to have her own way, he'd constantly try negotiating instead of getting to the part where she got her way. It was tedious to go through all of that really, not to mention time wasted at a hospital but to each their own. Lex had long since learned that not all parents operated in the same respect.

And what was with that little smirk of his? She was being completely serious. Kinda like Vivi had been serious...except not the same because in the end Lex didn't completely listen about the boy rule--Cutty had to listen though. "I'm serious." Though maybe she could look serious if her expression wasn't so amused herself. "You aren't even allowed to hold hands with anyone unless you're both wearing gloves--dragonhide preferably." So then only in classes where there were lots of other witnesses. Ahem.

Felix DID look exotic, didn't he? Although compared to the other kneazles, he looked quite normal. Funny how that worked. "He's a kneazle through an through. Bloody brilliant, hides evidence well. Wouldn't trade him for any other feline." Not even. He knew it too. That's what made him so obnoxious and spoilt. The knowledge he would never be replaced no matter how many attempts at other people's owls he made.

Lex considered his question for a moment, factoring in that whatever she showed him, he'd want her teaching it to him after so while she wanted flashy and over the top, she went with something she'd learned in one of her first books. "Alright. Watch." She took aim at the dummy that had been bound by Cutty's ropes. "Alarte Ascendare!" There was a bright shot of red light that sent the dummy airborne. Higher and higher it flew before losing it's momentum an crashing to the floor.

Hehehe. Cambridge thought he was pure, did she? Whilst this didn't exactly warrant outright laughter from the clutchling, he did give a slight chuckle and shifted his position. "Booht,...I've already snogged a gehl." He admitted. "She's m'gehlfriend." His girlfriend who lived in Canada. And really, this was only a half-truth, cause she wasn't really his girlfriend as he didn't feel for her as a normal 13-year old mind feel for anyone he called by that title. He simply had no other name for Bonnie.

A kneazle. Fascinating animal they were. He'd research what they ate, cause if they ate candy... . Maybe it was an independent hunter, like other felines and could feed itself. H'mm...yeah. A kneazle could do nicely.

As soon as the words, 'Alright. Watch.' left Lex's lips she had Cutty's full attention. Watch he did and fascinated he was as the dummy's body flew quite a few feet in the air before the work of gravity reared it's head and saw the dummy hurtling toward the ground with all speed. "Alarte Ascendare!" He said waving his wand toward one of the other dummies occupying the room and wasting no time in trying out this spell for himself. The dummy lifted awkwardly, feet first until it looked as though it were simply being charmed into doing a mild, although literal, headstand. Cutty, however did not give up and he remained focused on the goal until the dummy was being lifted in it's upside-down position higher and higher. It had gotten only so far, however as he was impatient to see it drop. And drop it he did, sending it crashing down. It was not busted. But as it was magicked to do, the dummy righted itself, resilient and ready for another spell.

Well...at least he hadn't fallen off the platform. But with Mr. Hirase stepping off like that the duel was officially over and he the victor. As if there had been any doubt about that outcome. Ha!

"Mr. Hirase, the door is...," Oh. Never mind. The spell had done quite the number on the boy and it was a wonder he wasn't tripping over his own feet. It was a spell that the astronomer was especially proficient in. Had sort of been his bread and butter when it came to mischief as a student. Well, that and a well placed Sticking Charm.

Without saying another word, he marched over to the Gryffindor, bent at the knees, and promptly picked him up in a princess hold. Purely for the boy's own safety, of course. Heh. "This way, Mr. Hirase," he smirked as his long legs began to take confident strides towards the door. The spell was sure to wear off in, oh, ten minutes or so. The longest an hour. Probably. "To the kitchens then, yes?"

Heh.

Heh.

Frowning in confusion and scratching the back of his neck, Kevin stared at the wall in front of him. He wasn't stupid, he knew the door was here somewhere! Looking around, he noticed the door near his side and stepped towards it, getting ready to walk through the opening but then hit the wall beside it again. WHAT WAS HAPPENING?!

The Gryffindor got even more confused when he suddenly felt himself being lifted up and...held in a princess hold?! Because of the sudden action, Kevin had to grip on to the Professor's arm tightly for fear of falling down again. He loosened the grip when he noticed that this wasn't the case but widened his eyes at his words.

.....to the....kitchen?...he was going to carry him to the kitchens?! "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" he hit the Astronomy Professor against his arm a couple of times "YA put me down! I can walk by myself!" What if ANYONE saw!? He would get laughed at FOREVER!

He needed a different tactic. And so the Gryffindor closed his eyes, put his head back and hanged his arms down. Yep, the fainting tactic. 'Cause it was way cooler to have fainted during a duel than...being confunded and being carried princess hold style out of the dueling arena...

FireboltAvis88 · 06-11-2014, 05:45 AM

Cris waited patiently for Grayson to complete his homework assignment before he got up from the viewing stands and walked over to him.

"Hi, I hope you don't mind, but I was watching as you practiced casting the Reductor Curse. You have really nifty moves and skills. I was wondering would you like to have a dueling practice with me. I really need the practice and I know that I could learn a lot from you," Cris asked the young Slytherin.

Please say yes, dude.

Good thing this Gryffindor didn't have any claws or else the astronomer would have found himself without an arm.

Amused, he continued to make his way towards the door while Mr. Hirase thrashed about like a kid being dragged out of Honeydukes by a parent who had denied them a case of chocolate frogs. "Considering the fact that you were walking into a wall just now, not to mention trying to open a door that was not there, I have my suspicions that you would fall down the stairs should I let you go on your own." Or, you know, miss the stairs entirely as they moved out of the way and then the Gryffindor...well...yeah.

..............................wait. Was he asleep now?

Looking down at Mr. Hirase, Airey simply shrugged his shoulders. Could be an effect of the spell he had cast. Best just let him sleep it off. Should wake up soon enough. If not before the kitchen then surely after he got the house elves to splash him with some cold water. Although he couldn't stick around for all that, sadly. Had other work to take care of back in his office. The house elves would take good care of Mr. Hirase, he was sure.

Off to the kitchens then!

Please say yes, dude.

There was something about watching the dummy re-assemble itself and knowing that he had caused this to happen. It also made him that little bit more confident that he could defeat one of the Cold Ones. Of course, he'd need more practice and needed to know more spells and whatnot but he WAS pretty confi--

..................... Oh?

Watching someone was a creepy thing to do and, from one creep to another, he was totally okay with this. Uh huh. Mainly because the boy had gone on to praise him. Good. Keep the compliments coming, person. Grayson smirked a little at the boy and looked him up and down quickly. "'Course I do. You need them to defeat the Cold Ones." Did this one have nifty skills too? These things were necessary to know, especially since he was talking abouuuuut......................

................... DUELLING.

FREAKING. YES.

And learning from HIM. This one was one to keep around. "I hope you're ready to lose," he joked, rolling up his sleeves, "But yeah, duelling would be great! How much do you know already?"

DaniDiNardo · 06-14-2014, 06:00 PM

SPOILER!!: He would have learned that on his own eventually :P

Oh? Not only had he snogged someone but she was his girlfriend? "Aren't you like 6? What'd you need a girlfriend for?" Merlin she was starting to sound like Vivi and Louisa only now she could understand why for the longest time Lou kept calling her 10--you think she'd acknowledge that Lex got a year older every birthday but it was always 10. Funny how that worked but yes, Cutty was 6...just a very tall 6 year old with intelligent speech and a wealth of candy to make her happy. How did he not know this?

Alexa took the smallest of steps back, giving him room to cast while she watched...clearly puzzled by the dummies ascent. For the first moment or two she didn't say anything, just watched it slowly rise higher and higher before falling.

The Gryffindor blinked, tilting her head to the side curiously and giving Cutty a once over. "That almost looked like Levicorpus except you cast the Alarte Ascendare so that's weird." Her eyes flickered back to the dummy before resting on the Slytherin again. "In any case you'll have to do it over, the movement was much too slow and somehow you managed to flip the object. What you want to do is imagine it shooting upward in one quick thrust like this." Lex took aim at another dummy. "Alarte Ascendare!" Another shot of red light sent the dummy zipping toward the ceiling of the arena before losing momentum like the first and hurtling to the ground again.

"Now you try. No slow motions, it's meant to dart to the ceiling like it's nobody's business, got it?" Though now she was thinking she should have just shown him Levicorpus but he might have already known it.

FireboltAvis88 · 06-14-2014, 08:18 PM

SPOILER!!: Grayson

He had said yes...YES!!...Cris wanted to punch the air with his fist jubilantly, but thought twice about doing that. He wanted this Slytherin to believe that he was serious about dueling and beating him. Yes, his first intention was to learn as much as he could. If he happened to beat this guy at the same time, Cris was all for that.

Keeping that second thought to himself, Cris just chuckled at the boy's joking...at least he thought it was a joke, comment about him being ready to lose.

"Well this is a duel right? I guess one of us will have to lose," Cris readily agreed. Heck, even though he still didn't intend to lose, Cris had a crazy suspicion that the possibility of that happening was pretty high. This boy had major skills going on here.

How much did he know? "Hopefully enough to defend myself and keep you on the offensive," Cris readily replied. "What about you? You look like you've done your fair share of dueling." he asked the boy in turn.

"By the way, my name is Cris. I guess one should always know the name of the person they are going to be dueling with right?" Cris introduced himself, smiling nervously at the boy.

...and then it was back to the dueling session. "So how do you want to do this?" Cris inquired.

SlytherinSistah · 06-15-2014, 05:13 PM

Text Cut: Nothing replaces hands-on learning time with Lexa Cambridge, though. XD

"I'm thirteen." He said matter-of-factly. At the next part of Lex's question, Cutty gave a small hesitation as he considered how to phrase it. "Fer snoggin'." That's what he needed a girlfriend for. His mind considered that again and with energy and a smile, he moved is wand and spoke the incantation. "Alarte Ascendare!"

This time the recently dropped and righted dummy flew, and with all speed, upward. It hurtled toward the ceiling with such force that it's head became lodged in it. Not entirely, however. It was as though the Defense dummy were simply trying to wear the ceiling as a hat. Big dreams.

Lex regarded her company for a moment, his protest going right over her head. Thirteen. That wasn't possible. He was joking possibly or maybe Lex needed to stop thinking everyone was six?--Though in her defense, Mikey was eight so there was that...or he used to be eight before all that happened and he started dating Zahra and now he was probably what fourteen? Fifteen? The next thing he said though, that got her and she fixed him with a look. "You don't need a girlfriend to get snogs, it's just more socially acceptable that way but I don't reckon it'd be so bad if you only snogged one girl without being hitched." Or was she not allowed to say this anymore? It was true though significant others weren't needed. They were more a want, were they not?

"I'll admit I find it weird you draw a line between snogs and getting stuck to someone else but it's....good, expected...yeah." And she could probably stop talking about it now because he got the idea.

"Much better." The spell she meant. "You're a fast learner, you'll do great with my books."

Deezerz · 06-16-2014, 02:39 AM

She was here again, and anyone who knew Beverly Wayne well enough would have expected her to come back to the Dueling Arena. Especially when she wanted to improve on her spell casting. It wasn't that she lacked in it, it was just that she needed to learn to focus on more than just one thing. In a duel one had to learn to concentrate and take everything in and...whatever other gibberish her brother had told her.

Wand in hand, brows pinched together, her multi-colored eyes scowled at the dummies. It'd would be lovely if they had wands so she could practice with them. But then what would she practice? One spell? All the spells?

Hmm. She should have thought better of it before coming here.

FearlessLeader19 · 06-16-2014, 06:53 PM

SPOILER!!: Beverly

Adi was back at the Arena, hoping to try out the Reductor Curse again. Sure, he had done well at the practice a few weeks ago but practice made perfect, right? Humming softly to himself, he made his way over to the dummies intending to practice on one of them.

Oh look! There was someone over by the dummies. "Hi,'' Adi said approaching the girl. As he got closer, he could see it was the girl who helped him out at the Lake last year. The one he spoke to at the Start of term feast. "Beverly, right?'' Could he call her Bev? Hehe. "What's up?'' Oh! He just remembered. He needed someone to duel with. "Wanna duel?'' Adi asked without giving it a second though.

hermionesclone · 06-16-2014, 10:57 PM

Text Cut: Cris!

The laugh made a half-smirk and half-smile spread itself across his face. It was good that the guy got his joke, hence the smile, and it was even better that he was agreeing, hence the smirk. Though, he HOPED that that didn't mean that the boy was going to go ahead and NOT TRY. Because that would be lame and boring and really, he didn't want his first duelling experience here to be a lame one.

"I guess. Unless we go for a draw." Which was even MORE boring, just FYI.

As for his answer, Grayson snorted. "I say you've got that sorted." Nothing like putting someone's hopes up and hoping they'll defeat themselves. Unless that was what the Hufflepuff boy was doing. Grayson wasn't sure. "I just like duels and fights and drama. They add a bit of spice to life, you know?" As for his skills, he continued, "I'm hoping to do the same thing."

This boy had an advantage in that he had SEEN how Grayson was against a dummy, whereas Grayson didn't know what this one was like. HMMMMMM.

And his name was Cris. Nice one, this one was. "Good to meet you, Cris. The name's Grayson." He even held out his hand for a handshake. Manners, you see. He could pretend that he had some of those.

Interesting question. "WELL. We could take this as a proper duel; we get up on those stage things, bow, count down and then start firing spells at each other." Was there any other way to do this? "What d'ya think?"

FireboltAvis88 · 06-17-2014, 01:25 AM

SPOILER!!: Grayson

Cris interpreted the smirk that appeared on the Slytherin's face as self-confidence. Nothing wrong with that. It was good to see a person full of self-confidence. The Slytherin was going to need that if he wanted to beat him.

However, he had to give it this boy, he was polite and a perfect gentleman. Cris took the hand the boy's hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you too, Grayson," Cris nodded with a smile.

Formal duel? "Sure that's fine with me. Formal it'll be," Cris nodded in agreement. Propping himself up with his arms, Cris hopped on to the stage and waited for Grayson to join him. Then he bowed and began the countdown. "On the count of three. ONE....TWO...THREE...Expelliarmus," Cris called out as he waved his wand in a tight clockwise circular motion ending in an upward flick.

He watched as a scarlet beam of light streamed out from his wand and headed towards Grayson.

Deezerz · 06-17-2014, 02:39 AM

Text Cut: Adi

Beverly was twirling her wand in her fingers, attempting a look her brother got when she watched him train back home. A cool look. Turning as someone approached her, the first thought that ran through her mind was: He owes me a favor!

Heh. It wasn't time to cash in just yet, though.

"Yep." Beverly is her name, don't wear it out. "And you are...Adi," she stated. That's what she heard Cutty call him at the Feast and that's what she was going to call him. To his 'What's up?' she was about to give him a sassy comment when he suggested they duel.

O__o

Was he a seer or something? It didn't matter. She wanted to duel. "You read my mind," she admitted. Then with another twirl of her wand, she added, "That means yes. D'you want a proper duel, all spells allowed or certain spells?" Like the ones they've learned in DADA. Seeing as he was probably younger than her, she'd let him pick.

FearlessLeader19 · 06-17-2014, 01:18 PM

SPOILER!!: Beverly

"Yep, Adi it is. Can I call you Bev?'' Because Beverly was kind of long. He grinned. "I did. None of your secrets are safe with me.'' Mwahahaha. Nah, he obviously couldn't read minds though he wished he could do Occlumency.

Adi thought. Beverly was a year old than him so she had a tad bit of an advantage at spells. "Hmm...let's go for all spells.'' That would make things more interesting. "You ready? Don't forget to bow.'' He took some steps backwards so that he was away from the dummies. Ready to duel!

hermionesclone · 06-19-2014, 05:44 PM

Text Cut: Cris!

Of course he was confident. BRIMMING with confidence, he was. Look at his stance. CONFIDENCE.

IF he knew that Cris thought he was a gentleman, Grayson would have laughed. But, seeing as he couldn't, no sound of laughter escaped his lips. instead, he merely shook the boy's hand in return and may have offered a smile. It didn't happen a lot, Hufflepuff, accept it or leave it.

Heh. This older-looking kid was practically doing whatever he said. This was interesting. Something to take note of, too, for later. Right now, he propped himself up onto the stage with a teeeeeeny bit of difficulty but when he finally rolled onto the stage, the fourteen year old stood up straight. Nothing to see here, mkay?

Oh jeez, that really was formal, wasn't it? All that bowing. Fine. He WAS going to do that. Uh huh. He was inclined to keep his eyes on the boy during the bow, though, as if Cris was a Hippogriff that he was trying to pat. He pulled out his wand at the sound of the countdown. Right. What spell did he want to use? Stupefy? Or should he amuse the guy for a bit? YES. MAYBE he could make the boy tap--

............................... And there went his wand.

Flying.

Arching.

GOODBYE WAND.

FireboltAvis88 · 06-20-2014, 04:05 AM

SPOILER!!: Grayson

What just happened there? Cris first blinked in surprise and then his mouth gaped open in shock. Even though he had hoped he would disarm Grayson before the boy could react to his spell, Cris didn't expect he would be able to do that. And so when he did, he was flabbergasted.

No way!! Maybe Grayson had not been ready after all! Maybe he should have counted down louder.

"Finite," Cris called out before running to pick up Grayson's wand, and walked over to return it to the Fourth Year.

"I'm sorry. I guess I should have asked whether you were ready before I counted down. Do you want to try again? Maybe you can count down this time," Cris offered. Yes he wanted to duel again. He expected a good duel from this boy. Not an immediate win. No, that would not do.

So Cris returned to his position on the stage, bowed to Grayson and assumed his dueling stance, wand at ready.

Deezerz · 06-21-2014, 10:38 PM

Text Cut: Adi

"No."

Not Bev. Not Bevvie. Not Everly. No derivative or shortening of her name. Just no. It had been a serene expression that had accompanied her answer, then she added: "What's your whole name, or is it just Adi?" She was curious.

To his little comment about no secrets safe with him, she reached out and poked him on the arm with her wand. "You're a seer, now, eh?" Of course he wasn't. Actually, one never really knew who was of Seer blood, but lets hope Adi really wasn't.

As for their duel, all spells allowed. Beverly grinned a little and nodded. Yes, that sounded way more fun. Pfft! As if she'd forget to bow. With a slight smirk, Beverly took several steps back until there was a fair distance between Adi and her, then she BOWED.

"On the count of three. One...two..." she readied herself in her offensive stance, "THREE!"

FearlessLeader19 · 06-22-2014, 03:45 AM

SPOILER!!: Beverly <3

Adi had been expecting that resounding no. But that wouldn't detour him from using the shortened version of Beverly's name. Hehe. "Actually it's Aditya but from as long as I can remember Adi's what I've been called.'' He knew he had a funny sounding name to a lot of people so the nickname made stuff easier.

"Nope. Seers aren't real, right?'' He didn't believe in anything that had to do with Seers. Or divination for that matter. Bunch of made up stuff. Anyway...Beverly took her steps back and bowed. Adi bowed back before readying himself.

When Beverly reached three, Adi instantly cast his spell. ''Tarantallegra!'' The wand movement was a really complicated one but he hoped he did it right. But there was green light heading in the Slytherin's direction. He could only wait and watch the results.

hermionesclone · 06-23-2014, 11:12 PM

Text Cut: Cris!

Of course he hadn't been ready. That was what it was. It wasn't as if he had been ready and was just not ready with a spell.

P S H.

"Thanks!" he said, taking his wand back. And CRIS was apologising. Oh jeez. Oh MAN. Something inside of him told him that he should probably tell Cris the truth but it was a matter of ego and pride. HELLO. He couldn't just say something like that. But he COULD say, "Not your fault, man." See? No one was getting their ego bruised. Brilliant. "And sure! Let's go again!" And that previous one didn't count, mkay?

"You ready?" He'd BETTER be. Because Grayson was going to WIN this one. Uh huh. His ego was practically calling for this win. "Threeeeeeeeeeee!" Smirk. "Twoooooo!" Pause.

More pausing.

LONG PAUSE.

It was going to help him, mkay? Keep him on his toes and ready for anything. See, this was a GOOD thing.

"ONE! TARANTALLEGRA!"

FireboltAvis88 · 06-24-2014, 03:46 AM

SPOILER!!: Grayson

Yep that was what it was along. He had counted down without letting Grayson know he was going to do so. He grinned when the Slytherin agreed to have another go at dueling again.

"Yep I'm ready," Cris called out immediately on the alert when Grayson started counting down.

'Shield up....shield up,' Cris thought to himself and despite the fact that Grayson paused on one, Cris was already planning the first spell he would be sending Grayson's way.

The moment he heard Grayson call out his spell, Cris was already moving his wand in a tight circular motion, and ending with a flick of the wrist, he called out the incantation to his favorite shield spell, "Impiriano" and immediately blue bubble like shield sprang up all around him.

....and just in time too, as he saw Grayson's spell bounce off the shield.

Immediately on the offense, Cris pointed his wand at Grayson and drawing a squiggly line with it, he said, "Flipendo," sending a blue beam of light right through his shield and straight at Grayson.

The denial of Alexa Cambridge, whose mind got a little bit blown by how old he actually was. He watched it work through her mind via her expressions. She was slowly....wait, was she...?

The boy nodded. "That's not something I considered, but it is a good point. Keeps things clean and uncomplicated, snoggin' only one gehl at a time." Lex was smart. So very smart. Cutty liked this tutelage he was receiving. When was the last time Lex got caught doing anything? He considered whether or not she'd think he was a romantic sort. This caused a rapturous chuckling on the inside.

Taking Lex's next words as compliment and not taking that compliment lightly, Cutty let a small smile play across his face. It may have even reached his eyes as he considered the knowledge available in Lex's books and what it could provide him, which it normally didn't do too often.

"Thanks for showin' me yer spells, Lex." He said, readying to depart from the dueling arena as the defense dummy he'd casted upon moments ago hit the ground with a crash and immediately began to heal itself. "I'm lookin' forward to readin' the book." But for now he had to be on his way. He twirled his wand before tucking it away and departed from the arena, his little mind warped and eager to find out exactly what other spells were available in Lex's private library.

Text Cut: Cris!

Good. He was ready. Because being the one to count down gave him, Grayson, the upper hand and he really didn't want to start all over a--

........................ ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!

He blocked the spell. Full on blocked in. MERLIN. And it was ricocheting off and towards HIM! Grayson did the smartest thing he could think of and ducked as quickly as possible. JEEZ. If he made it out of here without being hexed, it was going to be a freaking miracle. And it would be something he'd boast about too. Not getting himself hexed in a due--

So he spoke too soon.

The Knockback Jinx hit the fourteen year old squarely in the chest and he was sent flying backwards until he landed with a THUMP on his bottom. "OWWWWWWWW!" And yes, he was going to massage his bottom because it HURT. And he didn't care if the boy laughed about this. Or he cared a little. Whatever.

Groaning, the Slytherin scrambled to his feet again and pointed his wand over towards the Hufflepuff. "Stupefy!"

SPOILER!!: Grayson

Honestly? Cris couldn't quite believe what he was seeing. Grayson had taken a hit from the Knockback jinx he had sent him way and was now tumbling backwards.

Cris had actually believed that Grayson would dodge that last spell. Was the boy messing with him? Was he actually letting him win? No...No...

O_o...wait Grayson had recovered quicker than he had expected. Cris immediately ducked to the ground when he saw the Stunning spell Grayson had cast, flying towards him. He watched as his Impiriano shield absorbed the hit before disintergrating in front of his very eyes.

He was without a shield and an open target until he raised up another one. But before he did that, Cris sent another spell back at Grayson.

With a quick jab of his wand at Grayson's feet, Cris called out,"Locomotor Mortis," and watched as a purple beam of light shot out from his wand and headed towards the young Slytherin.
