A referee (Professor Flamsteed or Dakest) will be assigned to your duel and present. They will only interfere if there is need, including foul play, serious injury or unacceptable or illogical use of spells.
OOC: Each duel must be completed by no later than October 24, midnight GMT-6 (OOC). Remember that a duel ends when one dueler has lost ALL magic or ALL health points. Please make duels a minimum of 3 posts each.
These first duels will be a trail run of sorts. The point system for the spells and physical actions was done by thought and hasn't been tested. You all are the guinea pigs.

At the top of their post (in the tag line) they must include their current standing of points, as they are at the BEGINNING of that post. At the bottom of their post, they must include a 'spoiler' tag, including the spells which they've cast (and the directionallity of the spell, so the opponent can easily reference the potential damage to themselves), the spell(s) that have affected them (if any) and their own final Point Standing for that post.

He'd forgotten all about Dueling Club. No joke. Even worse, he'd forgotten his mum put him down for Tournaments as well. Was it too late to back out? It must have been because his name was called and he was already standing in the arena with people staring. Just what he needed. If nothing else, this had the potential to be the most embarrassing day of his young life and it would be all the MOAR embarrassing because he was facing a girl. He couldn't just forfeit. DID NO ONE SEE HOW BAD THAT WOULD BE????? No, he'd have to stay and duel and let whatever happens happen.
Blaise Bellaire was a Gryffindor, he was no runner--except that's probably what he was gonna be doing for more than half the duel but it wasn't the same as running away from the duel; that was different. He would stand here and face this like a man.
Good thing he'd taken his wand with him today, eh?
The 11 year old took a deep breath as he bowed before Charlotte, side eyeing his quill and notepad on the sidelines, poised and ready to start taking notes on the match. Just brilliant. Straightening, he turned and counted out the five paces in his head. He felt absolutely sick, like he might throw up kind of sick. His wand didn't work. It never worked. If he stood there everyone would wonder why he wasn't casting, they'd think he was scared but if he DID cast they'd all know his magic sucked. This was waaaay too much pressure for the small boy.
At the end of the five he spun around, wand raised for all the good it would do and cast one of the only spells he'd ever seen his wand cast with all the concentration, doubt and determination he could muster. "Aguamenti!"

Probably Char couldn't get more excited than she was right now. DID EVERYONE SEE HER IN HER SPIFFY DUELING UNIFORM THOUGH?
She hadn't even THOUGHT about who her opponent would be or anything because she was sure that EVEN IF IT WAS A SEVENTH YEAR SHE WOULD WIN (at least in her imagination). She'd been preparing for this, excitedly, and while she couldn't pretend to be an expert even in her own mind, she had made the effort to learn a thing or two, had practiced with cousins, AND she was twelve now so that obviously would make it EASIER right? Right.
Char waved at Blaise though when he joined her and then bowed, then turned her back and stepped out the paces.... and then turned around and....
was DOUSED IN WATER.
Okay. Well. Not doused but, a lil jet did hit her in the shoulder. She blinked at it and then shrugged it off in favour of a counter-attack. One that she'd thought would be an AWESOME way to start, and therefore had been prepared with. Her wand flicked in the appropriate wand movement and yelled AS LOUD AND INTENTLY AND HOPEFULLY INTIMIDATINGLY AS SHE COULD:
"Tarantallegra!"

It....actually worked.........?
No begging, no pleading, no obstinate refusals to give it another try because his wand was up in her feelings at the particular moment? The boy blinked--several times--at the wand in his hand. It shouldn't have come as such a surprise to him, given this was probably one of the only two spells he'd ever in his entire short life seen it cast but it felt GOOD not to be left hanging there, so good that he didn't even pay attention to the fact it actually hit his target and even more that his target was HITTING BACK.
All he heard was a shout that drew large brown eyes back to his housemate. Wait he knew that spe--
"Whoa!" Quite suddenly his legs were dragging him all over the dueling mat, yanking him this way and that in a dance he wasn't even aware he'd learned. Leaps. Spins. Sweet Circe how did he make this stop??? The boy wracked his brain. Though he'd stopped attending both crucial magical classes (that weren't actually electives but he was treating them as such) he'd been doing his reading in them as well as his Defense reading and he was sure he could remember a spell that made things....NOT do stuff like this.
Um...ummmm....holy snitch how was he supposed to concentrate like this? Uh..--OH!! "Finite!" Hah. Yeah. Just...just go ahead and ignore him. No problem. He LIKED dancing anyway--except he really didn't and this was making him even more nauseous than the fact he had to duel in front of all these people. For this reason specifically. The boy thought to brush it off, pretend like he didn't mind dueling and dancing but he couldn't continue like this. There was no way he'd get a clear shot and right now he was getting dizzy. Again he aimed at his legs. "Finite!" PLEASE?!
.....It stopped. It. Stopped. Blaise gave a short laugh and sucked in a deep breath, both because he was winded AND because he'd finally gotten it to work for him, somehow, some way. Wanting to capitalize on the opportunity while he could, the boy immediately took aim he needed a breather. Focus Blaise. Breathe and concentrate. "Locomotor Wibbly!"

OHMGGGGOSHBAHAHAAAA!
That was HILARIOUS! Why was it that Tarantallegra was ALWAYS hilarious? ALWAYS? Even people that were normally good dancers looked ridiculous, she thought. And Char got the giggles of course, though really she should have been using the lull to attack more or something but instead she was bouncing on her heels and laughing.
Like a deranged hyena on a pogo stick.
But then Blaise managed to stop the spell and he brought his wand to bear again. Char wasn't adept enough to deflect things back but one of the FIRST things that she was properly taught was how to make a decent shield, and as soon as she heard the 'loco' part of the spell she reacted, her own wand up and her voice ringing out determinedly, "Protego!"
There was a pretty COOL flash when the spell hit her shield, and her shield promptly fizzled away, since she couldn't hold one for long at all.
But okay. Okay. DID BLAISE KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUNNY? Char did. Char TOTALLY DID. TICKLE ATTACK HUZZAH!
"Rictusempra!" She cast gleefully.

One of the worst things about theory had to be when you heard a spell and you absolutely positively knew what the spell DID but also knew you couldn't cast it yourself. Take that shield charm she'd just conjured for instance. He'd done tons of reading on it, knew all it's strong and weak points and even knew the variations. Could he cast one? He wasn't sure but he was willing to bet a firm 'no'.
A depressing thought really.
Even WORSE was how she just kinda brandished her wand again and suddenly there was an uncomfortable wiggling motion at his ribs and his sides. It was the kind that had him wiggling at first...then snickering and before he knew it he was bent double, laughing as if Charlotte Kettleburn was the funniest person in the entire wizarding world.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHE!!!!
This was even worse than when he'd been dancing and the boy was laughing so hard that there were tears in his eyes. Happy tears? He didn't even KNOW but there they were as the boy toppled over on the ground, wriggling this way and that while loud ripples of laughter burst from him.
Rolling was happening, lots of it both this way and that. As hard as he tried there was no way he could settle himself enough to cast.

...... this gave Charlotte the opportunity to --DUNDUNDUNNNN-- nope, not attack, but INDULGE IN HER FANTASIES.
She was the BEST DUELER IN THE WORLD and she made that breathy crowd goes wild sound to punctuate this particular fantasy.
SHE COULD BARELY HEAR HERSELF haaaaaaaaaah OVER THE CROWD haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. By the time she was a seventh year, obviously she would be able to take on ALL THE PROFESSORS PROBABLY EVEN haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Cough.
All those crowd noises took a toll on your throat. A drink of water would be good. She made a mental note to go get one after the duel. OH OR APPLE JUICE. YEAH! YUM!
"Hey Blaise, after this, do you want to go get some apple juice with me?!" Char offered, sort of forgetting for a second that he was, in fact, her opponent.
.... oh yeah. DUELING.
She cast at him again, once again hollering the incantation with possibly WAY more enthusiasm than was necessary, this time though it was a knockback jinx (not nearly as fun as dancing or tickling but she liked how it SOUNDED). "Flipendo!"
Likely not super strong but SHE WAS DOING HER BEEEEEEST!

By now, he wasn't sure if he was still laughing because of the spell or if it was because Charlotte was mimicking a crowd. But why would that be funny? Wait. Why WOULDN'T it be funny. Everything was funny and everything hurt from all the laughing he was doing.
Whoever invented this spell knew exactly what they were doing.
Apple juice?? The boy struggled momentarily into a sitting position but even then he couldn't get much words out so he would have to settle for nodding enthusiastically before tumbling over again. He wanted apple juice. This whole being reduced to tears by laughter thing was exhausting work!
Just as the boy regained what little senses he had left, he heard her shouting again and he didn't even wanna KNOW what that one did 'cause she seemed to like the kinds that left you out of control of your own body. First dancing, then giggling; suffice to say he wasn't interested in what was coming next so with wiggling ribs, he pushed himself into a roll that narrowly missed...whatever that was. It was funny how all he heard was shouting noise and not actually what she'd cast. Miraculously, he could feel the prodding and poking and wiggling subsiding. It wasn't like it was gone but at least now he could get a word out. His first word of choice though would have to be, "Finite!" No more! NO MORE! He didn't want to find things THAT funny anymore.
Blaise took aim next at her, his heart now more into the apple juice than the duel that he didn't want to be a part of in the first place. Still had to try though because neither Professor seemed willing to call the match. They enjoyed watching him suffer first. Obviously. "Periculum!"

Since he was busy rolling around, Char KIND OF JUST took another opportunity to fantasize on being amazing and performing to the crowd. DID THEY SEE HER? WERE THEY WATCHING? WERE THEY--
"EEeeek!" Char shrieked as a flash of red sparks went off, STARTLING her out of her little fantasy. She STARED at Blaise in astonishment, utterly surprised that he had got back on his feet, not because her own spells were super amazing but rather because he'd seemed like he had enjoyed the rolling around so very much, right?
OH NO SHE HAD TO GET SERIOUS NOW. SHE HAD TO. and then they could get apple juice IT WAS BUSINESS TIME NOW THOUGH. RAWWWR.

Merlin he was tired and he felt like he must have grown AT LEAST a 6 pack with all that rolling and laughing he did. It was legit. He now probably had muscles he didn't even know he could grow and he wouldn't complain either. Manly men had muscles. He was growing muscles. It all fit perfectly.
That spell; he knew what that one did too and tried desperately to copy what Charlotte had done earlier with her shield charm but no matter how many ways he said it and how many different ways he tried the same wand movement, his wand wasn't having it, she hardly seemed to be having anything. How this duel happened was still a mystery.
He might have tried running as a last resort but by the time he realized his wand had left him hanging it was much too late and there was already a blast of red light rushing toward him. His eyes widened tremendously and his muscles tensed in anticipation of the attack that was inevitable.
That was the last thing he remembered. That light. Nothing else. Kid was unconscious before he hit the floor.

Raising his wand, the Astronomy professor shot a small golden firework up into the air that exploded with an enthusiastic BOOM and rained down upon Miss Kettleburn in a sparkling shower that vanished when the sparkles came in contact with her uniform.
"VICTORY TO CHARLOTTE KETTLEBURN!"
Now they were probably meant to bow to each other again as a formality? Eer...seeing as that was not really an option right now...oh sweet solstice don't be dead, Mr. Bellaire. Not when you FINALLY used your wand....
"Oh thank Merlin," the astronomer breathed a sigh of relief upon checking on the first year. "Alright, Mr. Bellaire. Let's get you to the hospital wing."
Opting to carry the young man physically rather than magically, Pebbles plopped ceremoniously on his stomach, the professor turned towards the little lioness. "Congratulations, Miss Kettleburn. You advance to the next round of the Jinx Tournament. Details regarding your next duel will be announced in the coming days. You are free to go unless you wish to accompany me to the hospital wing."
You know, as the concerned housemate.

GAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaSP!
She'd only meant to stun Blaise a little bit! But LOOK SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY SO POWERFUL AND ONE DAY WOULD BE THE BEST DUELER IN ALL THE WORLD THIS WAS A SIGN!
She was about to rush over and see if he was okay but got distracted by a BOOM and sparkles! OH for HERRRRRRRRRRRR?
Victory to HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?
Char turned around in delight. Twirls. And bows. And prancing. And temporarily forgot about her unconscious friend in light of this distraction of being the winner.
Oh but she was being congratulated now. She beamed at her Head of House and then belatedly remembered Blaise.
"Oh! Yes I'll come, we were going to get apple juice after! He's not dead, right? Just a little bit unconscious?" He'd wake up. She'd get him some apple juice for when he did!

"No no, not dead," he assured the first year with a moderately amused smile. "Thank Merlin."
Adjusting his hold on the young man in his arms while taking great care not to allow Pebbles to slip off the boy's stomach, he gave a small nod towards the door.
"To the hospital wing then....and to apple juice."
At least now he would have an awake witness to prove to Cecelia that he was not responsible this time!
