Avalon didn't seem to have any choice in the matter. Already on thin ice, the Ravenclaw plastered on a smile as she stuck her hand out to her opponent. "Hey Mamie. I'm Avalon." She didn't want the first year to think she was in a rotten mood. After all, she was still a prefect. Had to make a good first impression on the first years.

When it was their turn, she faced the young Hufflepuff, her wand at the ready. With a nod to signal that she was ready, she debated waiting for the newbie to make the first move or jumping on the offensive. But she remembered that Trent's eyes were on them, and it would look way too obvious that she was stalling. If this spell worked, it wouldn't be much a duel. But dueling didn't seem like the point of the exercise -- disarming was.

A small part of her hoped that the first year could fend off the spell. It was so unprefect-like to cast it on an unsuspecting firstie. Everything about today's lesson just felt wrong. Avalon made a mental note to apologize to Mamie after class as she raised her wand.

"Expelliarmus!"

Mamie tried to watch and remember all the spells the pairs before her used in her duel, but when it was her and Avalon's turn and the older student raised her wand, all the spells she had heard went straight out of her brain. Nope. Magic wasn't going to be helpful.

She dropped to the ground.

Expelliarmus? Is that what Avalon had said? From the ground, Mamie raised her wand. She had no clue what this spell did. Hopefully it would do something. "Expelliarmus!" she shouted, waving her wand above her head in Avalon's general direction. Was that right?
