It wasn't until now that she had realized this would be the first time she and Ivory dueled. She wasn't even sure she had even seen her friend duel besides the little incedent last term, and that didn't really count. Keeping on her toes, she watched as the spell hit Ivory, satisfied that her aim was still good while she was in motion. Arya was about to hold out her hand to retrieve the claw's wand when Ivory twirled her fingers and kept hold of her wand.

A small smile touched her lips at the action, her friend wasn't too bad. Watching as Ivory sent a spell her way, she gave an easy flick of the wrist, pointing her wand upward. "Protego." A shield surrounded her and she felt the spell make contact before bouncing off in another direction, only to be stopped by the magical safety barrier around thier plateform.

Dropping her shield, she aimed her wand towards the right side of Ivory while she moved. "Langlock." Hoping that the spell would be a good distraction or that Ivory would walk right infront of it, she took another few steps in the opposite direction and aimed the spell at Ivory's left arm. "Rictusempra" Cause everyone needed a good laugh every now and again. Arya kept moving while she threw her shield back up, ready for whatever the claw would throw at her.
