Time for the finals, and Paulina had to admit that she would be rather pleased when the whole thing was over with. She understood the importance of knowing dueling skills, but this was not her forte. She would much rather be in the greenhouses than flinging spells at a stranger and avoiding attacks.
Dressed in proper attire and wand in hand, she entered the room. "Good luck," she said to the girl named Evangeline before bowing to her.
Formalities aside...it was time to get fighting.
After taking a deep breath, Paulina raised her wand. This was her first time starting off a duel and she didn't feel very comfortable doing it since she didn't like violence and it felt to her that initiating a fight was different than defending oneself and trying to get out of a situation.
Here goes nothing.
Pointing her wand at Evangeline's face she verbally cast the ears to kumquats spell. She had never had a chance to try it out on someone, so this might be interesting.

Evie was frustrated. She had tried to calm herself before the duel, but she just wanted it to be OVER and she wanted to be the winner. Not that winning would do her much good. 7th place wasn't good, but she supposed it was a little better than last place. Merlin... Last place was not an option. Taking deep breaths, Evie waited until they were allowed in the arena. She walked in with the Hufflepuff girl and stood across from her, bowing, as was necessary. She didn't return the offer of good luck, though, because the last thing she wanted was the other girl to win.
Taking her stance, Evie kept herself balanced and focused, wand across her body, ready to defend herself.
"Protego!" She said as she spell shot towards her. With ease, Evie was protected and the spell shot back towards Paulina in hopes to catch her off guard and muffle the sound of the spells that would follow. "Descendo!" she shot next towards the girl, and half a second later, "Everte Statum!" Quickfire, her way.

Okay, so apparently Evangeline was determined to win this duel. Paulina could definitely see why because 8th place wasn't the best position to be in. Honestly so long as she got through this Paulina would be happy.
Winning for once would be nice, however...
The blocked spell bounced back towards her, but she ducked at the last minute and it hit the wall behind her. It was the attack that would follow that she needed to watch out for. Quickly she moved to the side right before the two spells could hit. That had been really close but her reflexes were improving with practice.
Aiming her wand at Evengeline, she verbally cast the Fur Spell. If it hit, things would get rather interesting.
Just as a heads up, the duel has been extended. You have until midnight (GMT-7) on Wednesday December 2, to finish your duels.
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask

Yes, Evangeline WAS determined to win this duel. She'd been training for two years now, so when dueling club started up at school, Evie had tried even harder to push herself and make herself the best. And honestly... she was irritated. Girl was just avoiding the spells like they were nothing, not even using magic. And seriously? The Fur Spell? Merlin, how terrifying. She thought this was supposed to be a competition.
"Protego," Evie said lazily, easily blocking the spell.
Come on. She wanted to do some damage. "Tentaclifors!" And a second later, she cast the scorching spell and alongside it, the homing spell so that spell would hunt her down. And, just for good measure, Evie flicked her wand while the girl was busy and nonverbally cast the disarming spell. How about THAT?

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS WRONG WITH HER OPPONENT.
Apparently Evangeline wanted to kill her...
Paulina raised her wand to avoid the first spell, but was a second too late. Now she couldn't see.
SHE COULDN'T SEE!!!
Trying not to panic, she brought her hands to her face and saw that it wasn't her face anymore. Trying to defend herself, Paulina felt intense pain shoot throughout her body at the moment that her wand flew out of her hand.
In pain she fell to the ground and would have screamed and cried out in pain but she had no mouth. Frantically she tried to put the fire out but couldn't because she couldn't see anything.

There was nothing WRONG with her, she just wanted to WIN. And now that the child's play was over, it looked like that was about to happen. Evie watched as the girl's face turned into a tentacle. And she watched as her spell effortlessly singed her opponent (hopefully not too much, Hufflepuffs were fragile). Ah, yes, and there was her wand flying through the air.
Evie reached out and caught her wand. Her opponent was writhing on the floor with no face and no wand and Evie was stillbored.
"Does that mean I win?" she called out, knowing Dakest was around somewhere, watching. Because... it kinda looked like a win to her. And she was just kinda... done with dueling for the year.
