She didn't like duels, and she didn't like the next spell Gold cast. Butterflies? Really, really bright butterflies, too. Shielding her eyes from the BRIGHTNESS with her left arm, Destiny pointed her wand with her right, 'Avis! Oppugno!' Butterflies didn't like birds..right?

She slightly smiled when the birds went after the butterflies. In that instant, the smile disappeared, and Destiny couldn't see. Maybe she was a little dramatic, but it is sorta scary when you just lose your vision.

'I'm blind! I can't see!' she flailed and threw dropped her wand trying to remove the blindfold.

No one was watching her, right?
Oops.

Looked like her spell hadn't exactly ... done what she had wanted it to. Gold bit her lip when a little flock of birds erupted out of the end of Destiny's wand, and then there was the flap of wings, and the butterflies had scattered Merlin-knows-where.

A bird managed to peck her on the arm. Protego, Gold thought, eyes widening a bit. The shield charm had the effect of making the birds leave her in peace, and go after the butterflies, instead. Poor butterflies. But she couldn't worry about them, now.

Now, all of this happened in a matter of seconds. Gold quickly raised her wand again, glad that she was safe for the moment and ... and then she lowered it.

Because Destiny had just dropped hers, on the floor.

Ummm, what was this? Maybe she shouldn't have tried that last spell of hers? Obscuro and all. But what else could she have done? Duels were not supposed to be fair. Well, they were, but how could a duel between a fifth year and a SECOND year, be fair? That was just plain wicked. Which was exactly why Gold felt rather guilty, now.

"Are you okay?" she asked, picking up Destiny's wand as the girl attempted to remove the blindfold. Gold would have helped with that, but she did not because she could tell it would come off, any moment. Yeah, Destiny was doing well enough at that.

She sort of wanted to apologize, but she didn't think that would work out. Because this was a D-U-E-L duel, right?

Even if it wasn't a nice one.

Not one bit.
