Xana jumped off the desk top where she was sitting and went over to Josh. "Hey, are you all right? "

Diabolica stood straighter, taking on an air of superiority, as dark artists always did when they had won a duel, her eyes glinting maliciously. "Ah, I believe that you always need to polish off your enemies before sealing a duel. It's just the custom I grew up with." she said softly, looking into the first year's eyes. She bristled slightly. Everyone was always like this...

"You fought well, Dia. But I just hope he's not hurt... Josh?"

"Thanks..." Diabolica smiled. "But I'm sure he's alright."

Josh sighed and nodded,"Yeah im fine. A bit over the top there Dia." he said to her but then shrugged it off. " Expected nothing less from you though." he said to her as he then smiled. " Im fine really. Just hurts a little." he said as he was sure he had a bruise in his future." Good job." he said to Dia as he stood up." See im fine." he said

Diabolica bristled again. ''Nothing less', eh?' she thought. "It wasn't that over the top..." she gave him a cold look. "And thank you. Hope you feel well soon." she smiled half-heartedly. "You battled well."

Well ..." he was about to say something but held it in. " Thanks. Not as well as Xana im afraid.' he said as he then asked." So who goes next.." he asked as he sat on the table. He was done for the day. Come again tomorrow.

"I'll go next against someone..." Diabolica smiled grimly. Her ankle was killing her from when she had sprained it--but that was besides the point.

Xana sighed with relief and smiled at Diabolica, grateful she was extending him a compliment. It was a hard thing, to fight Diabolica-- she of all people knew that . He'd done reasonably well considering his lack of their background.

She looked back at Josh and joked, "Not too bad... It looks like only your ego is cracked..." But her eyes still held concern. She knew what it was like to be pummelled in a duel. Not fun, that.

Josh chuckled." Eh well its been cracked before the match so now their is just a hole." he said to her as he looked at xana. Her look made his heart melt but also ache. He gave her a smile and a look of his own. One of those im really fine so please stop worrying. " I think you better set one out Dia. You'll end up knocking us all out." he joked.

Xana sighed in relief and stood up, perching back on the desk. "Might as well watch the other duels... though no show is going to compare to what we've had, I fear. I hate Muggle wrestling." she wrinkled her nose and grinned.

Josh smiled as he looked at her. " Ha its not that bad. Us m- well muggle boys do it all the time. " he said then adding," Its all about proving your worth . How strong you are. Also to show off to the ladies. "

"I agree with you there." Diabolica nodded. "It's stupid."

"That wouldn't be the worst of things," Diabolica winked at him, grinning, and sat down. "Duelling, after all, helps build you skills...in case you run into anything or anyone that would harm you..."

Diabolica cracked up.


Diabolica smirked. "'Us Muggle boys'? So you're a Muggle?" she joked. "Anyway, it's not just for men. Trust me. Some women are stronger than some men."

Its stupid when you look at them doing it. They are doing it all wrong. and... it looks weird." he said as he wasnt a fan of wrestling himself, but he had done it before. " The stuff on tv is even worse. " he said as one of his muggle friends was into it. Smackdown or something like that. " It does... I will eventually." he said as he knew it was coming. His good looks got him into trouble. He smiled." Yeah i am. Im a muggle during the summers." he said proudly. He didnt think their was anything wrong with it. " its true.. you should see my cousin. She is a killer."

Xana nodded. "True enough. You're freakishly strong for your size..."
