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.
Was that blindfold glued to her head or something? Or did Gold cast a permeanent sticking charm to it?
Magic Mother of Merlin! Destiny was going to look like a superhero for the rest of her life! A stupid superhero that forgot to cut holes into her mask so she could see..
Oh.
It came off.
Destiny had to blink a few times to readjust to the rooms lighting, even though she was only 'blind' for a few seconds. What was the point of them dueling each other anyway? She didn't learn anything by it, except butterflies are afraid of birds. Not that that would help her any other time. Professor Durskurkurk was a strange man.
She gave Gold a smile when she asked if she was alright.
'Yep. I'm fine. Except my jelly leg.' But she could see, and that was good.
'Are you okay?'
