Carl was... perplexed. His opponent was Junia, a Second Year snakette. He had dueled girls before - in fact, most of his duels were against girls - but a girl younger than him? He didn't know what to do. Should he go easy on her? Or should he behave like he did in his other duels? He had so many questions.

He was still deep in thought when they bowed - and she immediately cast the Stickfast Hex at his shoes. "Protego!" The Hufflepuff said, defending himself against the spell. That was close! However, he barely had time to retaliate, as another spell came flying at him, this time at his ears. He sidestepped quickly and the jet of light whizzed past his left cheek. Ears to Kumquats. He recognized the spell, seeing as he had used it in a previous duel. He was impressed. He could tell that she was not an easy opponent. Alright then…

Aiming his wand at Junia, Carl said, "Furnunculus!" He hoped the boils did not cause too much pain. If the spell hit her.
