Default Unsupervised Dueling Arena

Please exercise a modicum of common sense whilst utilizing these facilities. At least one of a dueling pair should be well enough to get help in case of emergency.

Dueling partners can be found by checking and posting on the bulletin board outside (ooc: see sticky thread in DADA Classroom forum) or by outside arrangements.

Gold was not sure which side of the bed she had woken up on, this morning. It was not a bad hair day - well, to be honest, those didn't happen to her. Not that she was perfect or anything, but her hair was one thing that had never really bothered her - but she still felt ... sort of strange.

Why?

That, she could not tell.

She stepped into the duelling arena, and scanned the place with bright, green eyes. Her wand was not out yet, but carefully tucked away into its holster, something a cousin had suggested. Had suggested after learning it at Hogwarts, that is.

It was empty right now, the duelling arena. But Gold was pretty certain it would fill up, sooner than later. Not that it mattered. For her, it was enough to know that she was here, somewhere she could practice duelling, one of her passions. In fact, she actually felt better, now that she was inside this place. Duelling was, for her, much more than a skill -- to say that she knew it was an art, would not be wrong.

She sometimes wondered whether she loved the thing as much as she loved Quidditch. She probably did, maybe even loved it more. It was a hard decision, though; and she knew she could never really pick one - even though she practiced Quidditch more often, majorly because that could be played when alone, too.

Duelling? Well, one could practice that by oneself too, she knew, but it was never as much fun, never as much exciting, alone, as it was when you had an opponent to tackle. To have a partner to duel with, always seemed to put a lot more thrills into the whole affair. Make one want to win. Yeah, it was never half as good, without a duelling partner.. and she frankly did not think it ever could be.

The fifth year stood up straighter, and looked around. Ivory would enter, any second.

Emily walked into the classsroom. She had been unable to duel in class, and she hoped to now. She looked around and only saw one other student in the room. Emily couldn't remember her name, but she knew she was a fifth year. And that was who Emily was supposed to duel against. But she seemed to be looking for someone. Emily decided to ask her anyway, just in case.

"Are you waiting for someone?" If the answer was yes, Emily would wait for someone else to duel. "Or do you want to be my partner?"

Gold looked up and saw, to her surprise, that the first person to enter the duelling arena after her, was not the Ravenclaw she had been expecting, but someone else.

"I am," she said, with a polite nod, when the 'Puff asked if she was waiting for someone else. "We can always arrange a duel later, if you like." She gave the girl a cheerful smile.

"Gold Laksh, by the way." Because it was always polite and all nice to introduce yourself, right?

Right.

Default Sorry it took me so long :)
<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

Ivory walked breathlessly into the arena. Having just run from the library to the dormitories and now here, she was very near winded.

Placing her hands on her knees to catch her breath, she tried to look on the bright side...at least she was limbered up for her duel and odds were she wouldn't pull anything in her attempts to doge, jump, and flee.

Looking around she took stock of her surroundings, just as she'd overheard her grandfather always tell her cousins.One never knew what could be used to aide in a duel. Sure she'd usually been doing something else entirely when he taught her older cousins the finer points of dueling every summer, but she had watched at times and somethings were bound to stick after so long.

Spotting the other people in the room, Ivory tried to stand as straight as possible. She had just found out she'd grown half an inch so she was trying to make it as noticable as possible. She was proud as a button to finally be growing even if it was just a measly half inch.

Stretching her arms a bit, she walked over to where Gold was standing with Allison's friend Emily, whom she'd met in Herbology.

"Hey Gold! Hiya Emily!"

Bouncing on the balls of her feet as she greeted her semi-new acquaintances, Ivory let her excitement for what was to come show in a brilliant smile.

She knew the odds were heavily against her...she was a first year after all and Gold was a Prefect for Merlin's sake, but she had still been craving another go at it since the first taste in DADA class, and who knew maybe this time she wouldn't be stunned and confounded all at once.

Gold had given Emily a cheerful smile, and was now waiting for Ivory, arms crossed against her chest, not in anger or anything, but in a happy, sort of bored way.

Her bright, green eyes acquired a happy glow, the moment the Ravenclaw walked in... and my, did Ivory look excited, too! Gold was glad the younger girl was here. She had thought, for a second there, that she might have noted down the wrong time.

"Hey, Ivory," she said, cheerfully, tucking a bright red bang of hair behind her ear. She needed to get those bangs, out of the way! That thought, the Prefect produced a hairband out of her pocket and, with its help, pushed her brilliantly red hair, back.

It was something she always did, when setting out for a duel, but she had been so cheerful lately, she had pretty much forgotten, this time round. But at least she remembered, now!

"Ready?" she asked her Ravenclaw partner, as she assumed the proper stance for a duel, and quickly drew her wand out of its holster. She was going to let Ivory make the first move.

Because that would be fair, right?

<.< >,> v.v ^,^!

Giving Emily a little wave as she stepped off to the side for more room, Ivory looked wide eyed at Gold with admiration. Wow, the prefect was brilliant!

Remembering how her hair had been all over the place in her last duel, she squinted her eyes in concentration, trying to remember the hair arranging charms she'd recently learned.

Unholstering her wand, she immediately felt the familiar warmth spread through her body and pinpoint in her hand, and as usual a small blue flame blossomed at the tip of her wand.

Aiming the firey tip at her hair, she pronounced the incantation for a hairdo.
Crinis Dispono Comptus

Her hair, as if being handled by invisible hands, was pulled back from her face and magically fastened into a loose knot at the back of her head.

Shaking her head this way and that to loosen her bangs and let them frame her face, she now felt ready to duel.

Smiling in excitement and now a twinge of nervousness, after all she was dueling someone four years her senior instead of three, she sent up a little prayer to doing better then last time. Hopefully she wouldn't end it stunned and confounded actually she didn't much mind the confounded she just wanted to be conscious toward the end.

The more she thought about it the more the pit in the middle of her stomach grew so that it felt like there was a small black hole inhabiting her middle that was causing pressure to everything...including her bladder! Everyone knew fear was connected to the urinary system...who knew how but it was.

Now worrying about one more thing of the tens of thousands of things she already was, she gave the prefect a little salute. "Ready." At least as ready as she'd ever be considering she couldn't just say 'Hows about we postpone this for another 5 years? You just wait right here I'll be riiiight back.' No it was far too late to say and that and besides who would wait that long anyway.

Setting herself into what she thought of as defensive stance (one that did not involve her cowering in a corner) her eyes glued to the tip of Gold's wand, watching intently.

Knowing she had even less to an advantage then at her last duel (although she was half an inch taller) she quickly and confidently cast Muffliato. She'd practiced it enough to know that the effect was the target hearing only faint buzzing instead of her speaking, so hopefully it would even the odds a bit....if she even lived long enough to see the odds.

Praying it was in effect, she took aim and turned her head so Gold wouldn't see her lips pronouncing the Leg-locker Curse.. "Locomotor Mortis."

Knowing she should use her smallness and hopefully speed to her advantage, she bounced on the balls of her feet ready to dodge in any direction.

Fia walked into the dueling area slightly shocked that she agreed to do this in the first place. Never before had she been here and why she allowed Miles to talk her into this, she had no idea. She stood just inside and waited for him to arrive. This time HE wwas the one that was late.

Miles ran down to the dueling area and skidded to a stop in front of Fia. "Umm...yeah...sorry..." he said scratching the back of his head and glancing at his watch with a wince. Was he THAT late? Really? Wow. "I had to take care of some stuff...." Yeah.

Coughing he walked past her and looked around, "This place looks kinda creepy you know." Looking over his shoulder he pulled out his wand and twirled it around, "Have you been practicing?"

"Yeah well, you get testy with me when I'm slightly late. It was my turn." Fia smirked, pushing herself off of the door frame and walking with Miles. "It is creepy but look who the DADA Professor is.

"And NO I haven't been practicing. I've been busy...studying. You realize we have OWLs this year." She was nervous and knew that she was going to loose as she just wasn't good at dueling at all.

"I do not get testy," Miles said with a slight huff. As Fia walked with him he looked around and laughed, "Yeah, I suppose that is true. Of course everyone seems to be acting a bit creepy lately."

He laughed again and glanced at Fia, "Yes...I did realize that." Smirking he turned to face her, "It should be simple enough really." Like every other test they had was. He hadn't studied in ages, hadn't had to either.

Fia shook her head for two reasons. One, Miles did get a little testy when she was late but it was nothing terrible in the least. And two, their DADA Professor scared her in so many ways. He made Kazimeriz look like a sweet and innocent kitten. Shivers.

"I still want to find out why there were several students in the hospital wing. I do know that Healer Ashford pulled them all into her office as soon as she treated them." Speaking of people acting strange.

"And I'm glad you think it will be simple," she said about their OWLs for this year. "I know I'm just making a mountain stress so you might have to contain me at times." It was true, she was stressed, nervous...gah! At times it was just too much to bare.

Okaii.

Gold wasn't exactly nervous. She should not have been, either! She was someone to whom duelling came pretty naturally and, even if you put that aside, she had been in practice for at least three years. A bit longer, to be more precise.

She gave Ivory a "nice work!" type of smile, when the first year used a bit of spellwork, to tie her hair up. Hairbands were easier though, hehe. Buttt ... that was a nifty spell, there!

Then Ivory had her wand out, and the first Gold did was to draw up her shield charm, quickly and at once. She focused on it, and the Muffliato bounced off. The fifth year did not wait to see what the next spell was, but acted with her own wand.

"Duro!"

Simple stuff for now, right?

"That's fine," Emilt said to Gold. "Hi Ivory." Emily walked over to the other side of the room and watched Ivory duel Gold for a little while. The she looked at the door and waited for Alexis.

Ivory watched intently as the light from her spell hit Gold's sudden shield and bounced away harmlessly. Much to her surprise she barely had time to react when the prefect shot off a spell right after she'd casted the leg locker curse.

Leaping to the right, she felt her left foot all of a sudden feel weighed down with-'Oh no! It was rock hard!'

Luckily the momentum of her jump was enough that with the added weight she was still able to land on her feet without falling...although her left leg did come crashing down hard enough to jar her teeth.

Against all odds Ivory smiled, finding the hilarity in all of this. Even though she knew she'd probably lose and that she had almost no chance of ever winning a duel for like the next three years she still found this incredibly entertaining, and surprisingly looked forward to more matches like this.

Moving in quick random footwork, she raised her wand and cast a quick Knee-reversing hex aimed at Gold's feet. Hoping just maybe since she'd just cast a spell her shield wasn't up yet or at the very least that her shield didn't extend as far as her feet where maybe it was the weakest.

"Protego." Bringing up her wand in a large upward swish with the tiniest flick just like she'd practiced, she brought up her shield and concentrated it thinking of mirrors, reflections, and things bouncing off.

Gold stepped back a bit, as Ivory's left foot fell prey to her spell-work. The scene reminded her of her earlier duels. She had certainly suffered more than one stone-foot and --

-- and, of course, her little lapse in attention cost her.

She tried to focus on her shield again, but could not say that that worked, completely. She was, yes, a little late, and she could now feel one of her legs wobbling, as the knee-reversal hex hit it. It felt rather weird, and certainly made her almost lose her balance.

She quickly decided that she would take care of the limpy leg, later. Pointing her wand at Ivory, she did something that had come in very handy, in her last duel. The one with Evelyn.

"Avis!" A flock of pretty, blue birds poured out of the tip of her wand. "Geminio! Geminio! Oppugno!" The flock multiplied twice, and there was, in a matter of milliseconds, quite a crowd of birds flapping about. Gold's last, rather hasty - because that reversed knee was giving her trouble! - spell, of course, directed them at Ivory.

That done, the fifth year pointed her wand at her leg, which was still wobbling, and making spell-casting near impossible for her. "Finite Incantatem," she said, just in time to avoid completely losing her balance, and falling flat on her face, or something unhappy of that sort.

Protego.

"Avis!" A flock of pretty, blue birds poured out of the tip of her wand. "Geminio! Geminio! Oppugno!" The flock multiplied twice, and there was, in a matter of milliseconds, quite a crowd of birds flapping about. Gold's last, rather hasty - because that reversed knee was giving her trouble! - spell, of course, directed them at Ivory.

That done, the fifth year pointed her wand at her leg, which was still wobbling, and making spell-casting near impossible for her. "Finite Incantatem," she said, just in time to avoid completely losing her balance, and falling flat on her face, or something unhappy of that sort.

Protego.



Using the small split second of time while Gold began to cast, Ivory stared down at her left shoe in intense scrutiny, thank Merlin she'd practiced the very important spell that nullified spell effects after how she'd ended up after the last duel. "Finite Incantanum!"

Looking up smiling hoping maybe Gold was watching and the prefect would approve, because after all just because they were dueling didn't mean she didn't appreciate the girl as a new found friend when she paused in horror.

Ivory's eyes widened as bird upon bird headed her way with the intent of attack.
Her mind rushed through possible scenarios in the space of a second. 'Incendio'...nah she didn't want to hurt the poor things. 'Duro'? No that wouldn't do at all. 'Confringo' agh.

Finally she remembered the last Care of Magical Creatures class, and brought up her wand excitedly praying it would work.

Jabbing in the over all general direction of all the blue birds, she flicked her wrist just the tiniest bit exactly as Cela had taught her. She concentrated her intent on freezing, immobilizing, stillness, for Merlin's sakes she even thought of a giant pause button.
Immobulus!

To her great surprise, all the birds held still in mid flight as if they were hummingbirds and merely flying in place obscuring her from view.

Letting out a small sigh of relief amazed that it had worked, she used the opportunity of having them all frozen in a cloud of around her, and suddenly had an idea.

Looking down at her shoes, she pointed her wand and quietly used the charm they'd learned. "Geminio."

Leaving the clone shoes right where she'd been standing just a second ago she hoped that the prefect would see her shoes there and assume that's where she was.

Moving to the side but still covered by the birds, she aimed her wand at the floor right in front of Gold and cast a quick Trip Jinx, thinking maybe the girl would walk forward in an attempt to see through the birds, followed by a whispered "Muffliato" hoping maybe this time it would work.

In the mean time, Ivory brought up her shield once again ready for anything.

In the mean time, Ivory brought up her shield once again ready for anything.

Ivory was good, for her age. Gold gave her a cheerful nod of approval, as the Ravenclaw took care of her stone-foot, and brought it back to normal. That was good!

She was surprised when Ivory decided to just go ahead and freeze the birds. Most people she knew tried to knock them down and, well, that was exactly where they failed. You couldn't really slow down so many birds. So yes, Ivory's move had been clever.

But then she couldn't exactly see clearly and... oh, there they were, Ivory's shoes. But, wait a second, they didn't seem to have legs! Gold peered, confused at this sudden turn of events, and then she felt a whoosh of air, and knew Ivory had used those shoes as a distraction. That had worked, too! Totally surprised her.

Her shield charm had already been drawn up, though, which was the sole reason the Trip Jinx did not make her, well, trip. Fall flat on her face, or something. Because those clone shoes had done quite a wonderful job of confusing her. Bad, distracting shoes! Even though they were quite pretty, you know.

Yes, Gold had time to examine shoes, even during the midst of a duel. Because nice shoes were love. LOVE.

She pointed her wand to Ivory's right, and concentrated on sparks. Big, really bright sparks. They streamed out of the tip of her wand pretty much at once, blindingly and brightly coloured, and rather distracting. Hopefully, that would take Ivory's attention from her, for a second or half, and make the next spell she cast, go unnoticed.

"Rictusempra!"

... and then, of course, she drew up her shield again. If there was one thing you couldn't let go of, in a duel, it was your shield. It really was your best friend, in such a situation.

With her shield still up, Ivory glanced this way and that through the birds, trying to see what was happening when suddenly there were sparks from somewhere to her right. Big bright sparks that made her intention waver and her shield flicker uncertainly. Oooh pretty sparks...

The younger more naive part of her wanted to turn and look at the brightly colored spectacle that reminded her of fireworks but as she was just about to turn when immediately a light bulb went off in her head. She herself had just used the shoes as a distraction so maybe....

The split second dodge saved her from the Tickling Charm and from her now crouched position she watched wide-eyed as the flash of light that indicated the spell hit one of the suspended blue birds straight on its feathered breast.

Oh no! Her mind immediately went blank with worry for the bird until she remembered what it had been hit with.

Watching it intently, she saw as the bird regained its mobility and began flying in random patterns and ....laughing?

A funny chirping sound that was very similar to that of a squeaky toy being squeezed was heard again and again as the bird flew in swoops and dives, it's little chipmunk laugh echoing through the arena.

Giggling in spite of herself, the laughter suddenly caught in a knot in her throat.

As if in result to one of their fellow birds being unfrozen, suddenly the effects of her earlier 'Immobulus' spell wore off and all the birds became instantly unfrozen.

Concentrating her intent on her shield, she clamped her eyes shut and waited for the attack...Her fear was palpable thing as she imagined her shield eventually wearing down and the bird upon bird pecking her to a slow painful death. Yeah she probably was exaggerating but in her eleven year old mind death was imminent and she waited fearfully....and waited ... and waited.

Opening one eye only she looked around and then opened both and blinked. Eventually, she released a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the spell seemed to have at least worked in that it had immobilized their intent to attack so the current result was just many many blue birds flying around in circles around Ivory aimlessly as one of them squeaked in uncontrollable laughter.

Vowing to help the poor bird out later, she tried to find a good stance again with her still intact but almost flickering shield.

Her mind jumped from idea to idea...what could she do...what could she do.

She didn't know that many spells but she was smart enough to know that one worked with what they had including their environment. In this case, everything around her side of the arena was a whirl of flapping wings and chirping and squeaky alughter.

Praying that it would work, she brought her wand up and yelled "Protego"! as loud as she could hoping Gold would hear while thinking of confusion, bewilderment, uncertainty, befuddlement, and just plain being lost.

As quietly as she could she aimed her wand through split second gap between the birds and pronounced the incantation that had been her downfall last time as quietly as she could not knowing if Muffliato was in effect since she hadn't seen it bounce off.

"Confundo"

Crouching down again, she kept her feet moving hoping she'd be able to dodge in either direction if she saw the tell tale flash of light that indicated a spell having been cast.

Never.

Gold had never seen anything like this, before.

Unhappy birds, yes. But a bird that was ... umm, well, ticklish? Not ever. The corners of her mouth twitched into a grin, and she did not even think how this meant her Tickling Charm had just been laid to waste. Not worked, been totally avoided.

But then, of course, that came to mind, and Gold directed a really quick, "Incarcerous!" at Ivory, immediately following that up with a Jelly-Fingers Curse.

Then she turned her attention to the birds, once more. Quite a lot of them, and they were making it difficult to see, properly. "Finite Incantatem," she said, pointing her wand at the 'laughing' bird, to nullify the effects of the spell that had hit it. Too much laughing could be bad for a bird, right? Well, she did not really know, but it was best to stay on the safe side. No harming animals, without a reason!

In fact...

"Evanesco."

That should take care of the birds, once and for all. It did, in fact. They disappeared, even more quickly than they had been conjured, and -- and that was when the Confundus Charm hit.

That is what you get for lowering your defenses, to take care of birds. Gold had a single milisecond - maybe even less - to realize that she was about to be hit, and then she could not think clearly, was not even sure what she was doing here. At the back of her mind was, of course, the duel; but the back of your mind is not a place you focus too much on.

"Wha --?" she said, looking around. What was happening?! I've been confunded. Yes, she had. She remembered, now. But wait -- confunded? What was that? Some sort of high heel?

Uggh, too confusing!

Too much!

Too much!


Ivory was trying to be light on her feet by moving every which way but her eyes couldn't focus...there were just too many birds and she could barely see Gold through them.

Wishing her magic had been good enough to have kept them immobilized, she tried to pinpoint Gold's wand hand hoping she'd be able to see if the prefect cast anything.

But oh the distractions....her ears were were full of the flapping of wings and were ringing with the squeaky laughter of the little bird. What she had at first thought would be an advantage was now a hindrance? Not only that but her conscious was being plagued with guilt over the poor little bird who had taken the hit for her. She felt horrible and her eyes kept darting to the little bird, scared it's small body wouldn't be able to handle so much laughter.

Feeling horrible about the whole situation, she had just lifted her arms to push her robes back and get ready to help the poor thing when she saw a flash of light between the birds....and then another.


Oooh noes!

"Protego!" she exclaimed pronouncing the shield charm as quickly as she could...the only problem was it came a little too late and her wand movement wasn't even complete since her arms were still up from trying to push the sleeves of her robes back.

Consequently, the first spell hit her straight on and the second hit her weak shield and went right through a tad diluted but still effective.The unfortunate result were thick robes binding her from the elbows down leaving her feeling a bit like the extinct T-rex, with its tiny arms. Tiny arms that were of so little use they could barely count as limbs.

Not knowing how ridiculous she looked, Ivory began to wring what little of her arms she could move in panic, looking for all the world like a seal begging for fish, when suddenly she realized her wand was slipping Oh no! Her firm grasp on her wand was slowly diminishing as the fingers of only her right hand began to turn jelly like.

Attempting to move her wand hand made her realize that sadly with the angle of her wand as it was, she couldn't even point to herself to dispell the effects. Bringing her hands together in almost a clapping motion, she was able to grasp her wand in her left hand before it could fall.

Sighing in resignation with her seemingly tiny little arms, Ivory began to giggle. The whole situation was just so bizarre it was funny. All at once she was glad for this duel. Sure she had ended up tied up but at least she'd had fun the entire time. It was at this moment that she realized that the singing had stopped...quite a while ago as it was and hey all the birds were gone.

Her giggles were suddenly cut off in astonishment. Wow, the prefect had just vanished them all. Vowing to ask her to teach her that particular spell later she suddenly realized she had more important things to worry about...In her laughter it seemed she had begun to lose her footing with how tightly wound her legs were. Leaving her at that very moment beginning to tip sideways.

Her little arms waving like crazy to try to regain some semblance of balance, she imagined a far off voice yelling, 'Timber!!!!' as she slowly came to a jarring fall to the floor. Her mind a bit dazed she tried to look around, and spotted Gold.

"Gold?" The prefect seemed a bit lost and had a cute confused look on her face...confused....ooooooooh the confundus charm.

If she'd had the mobility she probably would've hit herself on the head. Hmm well considering her hands were strapped so tightly to her body that she couldn't aim at herself she might as well help her new friend.

About to cast that's when she remember that her wand was in her left hand.

Was it possible to cast that way?

Deciding she had nothing to lose, she tried to aim at Gold and found the angle just wasn't right.

Could she even move tied up like this?

Grunting a bit as she tried to scoot she soon began undulating her body like a weird little worm and worked her way to the right.

Breathing a bit more harshly now for hey squirming in that way takes energy believe it or not, she tried again now that she had a better aim. "Finite Incantantum".....zilch
and again....
and again....
and again and again....

Exasperated now she realized that NO one could not cast with their left at least her, a measly first year couldn't.

Scrunching her chin down to examine her wandhand she was sad to see the fingers were hanging all over the place, draping abnormally this way and that.

Flinging her hand, so that all her fingers were flopped back she pressed her wand into the palm. With her left hand, she squeezed her jelly fingers around it. Her grip felt loose but it was all she had to work with...

Scrunching her face in concentration and yes even in frustration, she manipulated her right hand into raising her wand in the general direction of the confused Gold.

Praying and hoping and asking and pleading to anything and anyone who was listening that her jelly fingers would cooperate she pronounced the dispelling incantation with all the intent she could muster. Thinking of her new friend, controlled and cool with a good head on her shoulders...not the least bit confused.

"Finite Incantanum!"

Sadly, her wand movement was a little too much and her jelly fingers just gave out, her wand losing it's fiery tip as it fell from her hands and rolled a distance away.

Sighing in defeat and weariness, she kept her eyes on Gold, hoping it had worked 'cause if not....well they'd cross that bridge when they came to it.

Eh?

What WAS she doing here? Gold looked round, and sort of pouted. There was that familiar feel in the air, like thrill or excitement or the need for speed, the kind of feel she associated with a good duel. But this wasn't a duel, was it? Yes, what was this?

She looked round the place, and saw Ivory. Ivory! Why was Ivory all bound up? That wasn't right. Maybe Gold should whip out her wand, and take those ropes off her new friend? Yes, that sounded like the right thing to do. But why was she here?

And who the HECK had bounded up Ivory? Whoever had done that, was certainly not nice.

But then Ivory was ... trying to do something with her wand? Gold blinked, felt even more confused, and decided she needed a good nap. She should head back to her common room, now. Maybe someone could tell her why she was here. Had she eaten, this morning? She was sure she had. Why was her head spinning, then? Meh.

"Ivory, what are you doing?" she asked, as her gaze landed on the Ravenclaw, once more. Who was, it might be mentioned, still trying to do something with her wand. "... and why are we here? Isn't this the Duelling Arena?"

But then her eyes widened, because Ivory had pointed the wand at her. Why, that wasn't nice and .... and then she blinked, and everything came back to her in a sudden rush of not-so-confused-anymore thoughts. Eep! She had let totally herself be confunded, there. How much worse could things possibly get?

"Finite Incantatem," she said, quickly pointing her wand at Ivory, to nullify the effects of the Jelly-Fingers hex, and take off those ropes. Bad ropes! Even if she had conjured them, in the first place. She hadn't had much of a choice, had she?

"Thanks for taking that charm off me," she said, lowering her wand and smiling slightly. The Confundus one. Because at least she knew why she was here, now. "Are you alright?"

She looked round the place, and saw Ivory. Ivory! Why was Ivory all bound up? That wasn't right. Maybe Gold should whip out her wand, and take those ropes off her new friend? Yes, that sounded like the right thing to do. But why was she here?

And who the HECK had bounded up Ivory? Whoever had done that, was certainly not nice.

But then Ivory was ... trying to do something with her wand? Gold blinked, felt even more confused, and decided she needed a good nap. She should head back to her common room, now. Maybe someone could tell her why she was here. Had she eaten, this morning? She was sure she had. Why was her head spinning, then? Meh.

"Ivory, what are you doing?" she asked, as her gaze landed on the Ravenclaw, once more. Who was, it might be mentioned, still trying to do something with her wand. "... and why are we here? Isn't this the Duelling Arena?"

But then her eyes widened, because Ivory had pointed the wand at her. Why, that wasn't nice and .... and then she blinked, and everything came back to her in a sudden rush of not-so-confused-anymore thoughts. Eep! She had let totally herself be confunded, there. How much worse could things possibly get?

"Finite Incantatem," she said, quickly pointing her wand at Ivory, to nullify the effects of the Jelly-Fingers hex, and take off those ropes. Bad ropes! Even if she had conjured them, in the first place. She hadn't had much of a choice, had she?

Ivory scrunched up her eyes..hoping praying and the like for the spell to have worked. What if it didn't? What if they were going to stay like this for hours?! It was an unsupervised arena after all so??? WHAT DID THAT EVEN MEAN? Would no one ever come get them?

Oh if only the Jelly Finger Hex had hit her other hand...or maybe her toes...that would've been better. Although, what must it feel like to have Jelly toes. ?? Would one even be able to stand up? She'd heard somewhere that your pinky toe was for balance...so did that mean you wouldn't be able to walk?

Ivory's mind had whirled off and she didn't hear Gold cast the Dispell Effects incantation,almost didn't even notice when the ropes came off and her fingers had once more righted themselves with the handy dandy help of joints. Almost. Because of course, who wouldn't not notice when their arms stopped being constricted under their chin...

Feeling the slack in her body, Ivory grinned like a loon and rolled to her feet.
Grabbing her wand from where it'd rolled off, she hugged it to herself and holstered it.

"Oh no, no thank yous for that." she smiled brightly as she approached Gold."I cast it in the first place and the least I could do was take it off..." Remembering her last duel and how she'd been confounded for quite some time, she frowned a little."I know how it feels and bleh." She made a sound of disgust and then laughed. "But thank you for taking off the ropes and jelly fingers off."

Grasping the Prefect's hand , she shook it warmly.

"This was loads of fun, Gold! We should totally do this again...hanging out I mean...you know without the hexes and jinxes."

"That is.." she looked down shyly...what if this older girl didn't even want to be her friend..."if you'd like..."

Cue weak laugh.

It looked like Ivory was fine. Well, Gold was definitely glad about that! Though she did wonder what would have happened, had Ivory not managed to take that last spell, off the Prefect.

Would they just have to... wait?

Until someone came?

It certainly seemed so. But Merlin, that might take hours! Gold shook her head at the thought, and was just glad that things were back to normal, for now. Not that the duel had not been fun. Because duels usually were, that. Fun. Quite exciting, too.

"It feels... sort of confusing," Gold laughed. Laughed because, of course! It was the Confundus Charm, it was meant to make you feel confused - no real surprise, there. "Not exactly the best charm to be hit with, in the middle of a duel." She would remember not to focus on birds that much, from now on. They took her attention off her opponent.

"I would love that," she said warmly, as Ivory shook her hand. "You seem like such a fun person, Ivory, we should absolutely get to know each other better. Without, of course, the jinxes and stuff." Hehe.

She beamed at the Ravenclaw.

Beaming at her new friend, Ivory nodded along.

"Yup totally!" She was just about to suggest they go to library or the student gardens when she suddenly felt a huge yawn coming on.

Giving Gold an apologetic smile, she realized how late it was.

"It's getting pretty late and we should probably head to our dormitories but how about meeting up another day?"
