Rooney was exceptionally eager to get back into this, even though he had told himself that he no longer wanted to do it and it wasn't for him. This year he had something to prove, and that something was that Blaise Bellaire would not get the better of him no matter how hard he tried. AND that he would not lose a duel that he had clearly dominated, because THAT was still an outrage and he was still sulking about that months later. This Ravenclaw held a grudge when his talent was shunned. He bowed before his opponent, giving the Hufflepuff girl a smile and just a little wave. Friendly tactics today.
That was, until he needed to act at his best. "Good luck!" He hoped that she could handle it. Or that she didn't cry.
But, he knew exactly what he was starting with because he'd been working so hard for a whole year to perfect his wand work and make this stronger. It was familiarity. He needed to ease back into this stuff with things that he knew. STICKING.
Ehehehhee.
Wand at the ready, Roo cast a firm "Colloshoo!!" and grinned about how good it felt to be here and against someone (THAT WASN'T BLAISE) and may have momentarily thought back to Miss Charlotte knocking the Bellaire kid out and just how wonderful she was and how pretty and -- BRONWYN. There was a duel at hand! Get to it, loon.

Soooooooo this was it: her first duel.
If Esme said that she wasn't in the least bit nervous she would be a liar. WHAT WAS SHE EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO? Dodge attacks and offer counter ones? Her mind had officially turned stupid with stress and nerves.
Gulp.
Entering the arena she saw her opponent for the first time. Hey, he was just an average looking boy! Not an older, hulking guy who would probably decimate her within the first few seconds. He also seemed pretty nice. Nervously she returned the bow and the smile. The wave as well. "Good luck to you too." It came to her that she HAD seen him around the school before. He was in the same Year but different House.
Right off the bat he tried to stick her shoes to the floor. At the last second Esme managed a sidestep, the spell hitting the ground an inch to her right. That had been pretty close and she let out a sigh of relief as her mind worked on what she wanted to send back his way.
"Anteoculatia!" she called out a moment later. This should be rather interesting if it managed to hit him.

"Bravo!" He was quick to applaud his opponent for her quick step, but distracted himself beyond help as she also quick shot a spell back at him. Ehehehehe. Ooooooooh. The third year gave his head a wiggle, hoping that his antlers didn't fall off...given the fact that that was ALL there was on his head. "HOW COOL IS THIS???" Okay, so that wasn't fighting speak, but he had to admit that it was a good spell and he was VERY much enjoying having antlers. Antlers were sO much cooler than having those stupid centaur legs from last year. ACTUALLY, Rooney trotted a little on the spot and gave a few appropriate noises just to draw attention to himself.
Then with a wonderful little spin to jazz the whole thing up, he shot a direct Bat-Bogey Hex in Esme's direction with another grin. Let's see her step her way outta that one. And even if she did...
Antler-boy shot a Bewitched Snowballs too.
There was definitely no escaping this whole thing happening. And he was too lazy to get rid of his antlers, actually he was probably going to keep them until the end of this whole thing.
Eheheheeeehhheee.

Esme would have bowed at the compliment but she was too busy giggling at his new hairstyle. "Very nice. I think you should keep it." Heeeeeey it wasn't as if he seemed to MIND the change so there was nothing wrong with a little bit of fun. It helped lighten the mood and ease her nervousness a little.
WERE they supposed to be taking this more serious? Because if so she was failing.
Oops.
Rooney was quick to offer a counter attack. Wand still ready, she managed to cast. "Protego!" Lowering the shield a moment too early, Esme found herself pelted with snowballs. Not cool. This boy was clever and sneaky enough to send TWO spells in a row. Wow. Was there a little bit of Slytherin in him? Shivering from the cold, she ignored the snow and decided to send a Cornflake Skin Spell in his direction. It would be really interesting to see that along with his antler hair. Hehe.

With a scoff at her shield charm, Rooney managed an eye roll. Good work, he supposed. A lot of good work, honestly. But Roo just wanted to at least do something better than he was right now. What was it with people and jumping to shield charms? That wasn't going to do anything to him. The cornflake skin was though... He found himself itching at his arms as the skin flaked away. Immediately, he was thinking about what his arms were going to look like after this. Would he have to see the healer? WOULD HE NOT HAVE ARMS?! He'd already forgotten about the antlers on his head now with his next distraction.
He cast a quick "Finite!" at his arms, watching the skin flake off once more and reveal his normal arms -- oh how he had missed them!! And then he looked back towards Esme, eyebrow raised and a complete look of 'you're going down!'
AND THEN HE WENT FOR IT. HE WENT STRAIGHT IN.
"Calavrio!" He called, wand brandished and quick. Off with her hair! If she wanted to hit him in the skin and the hair -- ah, the antlers.. Well he would just do the exact same!
Rooney cast another "finite" at the things grown out of his head and prepared for the counter attack.

Clearly someone didn't like having cornflake skin. Honestly Esme didn't see anything too wrong with it; at least she hadn't covered him with boils?
SEE, he removed the problem skin easily. It wasn't so bad!
What was bad, however, was her losing her hair. Gasping she held a clump of it in her hand. That was so not cool. He should KNOW that hair was something important to most girls. He was very lucky that he wasn't facing her sister because Juno would have flipped out at him. Putting it lightly. Esme wasn't going to do that though. Nope. She was going to stay calm. "Finite!" There, she had fixed her beautiful hair.
Returning said look, she sent a Fur Spell towards Rooney. This was still just for fun for her but he had made her hair fall out!

Maybe Rooney really did need to stop this whole thing, and maybe even talk to the Professor about it. His Mama thought it was a good idea that he was learning from others, but Roo knew that this club was stressing him out and giving him reasons to dislike people that he wouldn't usually dislike. It was quite hard to dislike people you didn't know, or so it was for him... Until now. First Blaise, and now Esme was really getting on his last nerve. At least his last spell had worked and had made her hair fall out. If she were a Ravenclaw too, he'd probably have made a bald eagle joke, but instead he hooted with laughter. A great big "HA HA HO!" and then was right back in the thick of it all. Right in the action. Right in the duel.
His duel.
This was his duel. He was completely SLAYING. Even though he had lost skin, grown antlers and all sorts. The thirteen year old threw up one of his best shield charms, as he was finally concentrated. "Protego!!" AHA. HAHAHA. No fur for this GUY.
Roo be nimble, Roo be quick, Roo jumped over a -- nothing. He was clearly trying to distract Esme. A little bit of Irish dancing here, some tap there and his favourite -- THE ONE MAN TANGO. A RUM PA PAAAAA. AYYY. "LOOK DOOOOoowooOOOWWWWN, LOOK DOOOOWN, YOU'RE STANDING IN YOUR GRAAAAVE!" Seriously, Esme. Look down. Look at your feet. LOOK NOW. Was she looking? Was she? Was she? "TWO FOUR SIX OH ROPE!" Ehehehehehehhehe. "INCARCEROUS!"
Witch, please. Beat that.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, hadn't he?
Esme raised her brow, confused as to why he looked so annoyed with her. Rooney knew this wasn't anything personal, right? Head shake. She was still taking this in stride and not caring that he had pelted her with snowballs or made her hair fall out. Yep, she was better than this. She was also not going to fall for his obvious attempt at distraction.
Please.
Smiling, she kept her eyes on him the entire time that he was trying to get her to look elsewhere. She might not be in Ravenclaw but she wasn't an idiot. She was also having more fun with this duel than she had originally thought she would. Clearly more fun than HE was. Still smiling, she cast another Shield Charm right before his magical ropes could get to her. Maybe she was better at this whole dueling thing than she had originally thought. She was her father's daughter after all.
Lowering her shield, she came at him with her next spell. "Rictusempra!" Hopefully that would improve his mood.

Merlin, Mr Bronwyn, are you always this energetic?
The man found himself chuckling to himself every now and then at some of the comments that were being made and that wiggle he was doing that only highlighted the antlers on his head. Never before had he seen someone so enthusiastic about a duel before. And Miss Darcy? She'd pleasantly surprised him, to be honest. She was actually putting up a fight, which was different to what she had been like in his lesson on muggle defence. Interesting.
And........ time's up!
Roderik cast up the magical shield, saving Mr Bronwyn from a case of the extreme giggles. Stepping towards the two, he smiled before launching into his explanation, "Well done! Both of you. That was a fun duel to oversee." Really. Thank you for that. "But there has to be a winner and so........ congratulations, Mr Bronwyn. Your energetics have saved you." Smile. "Keep it up, Miss Darcy."
